## Macro at a Glance: Nasdaq Notches Best Week Since November, The Fed, ECB and BOE to Hike Interest Rates This Week

Asian stock markets are expected to increase on Monday, with the reopening of Chinese markets poised near a bull market, as traders anticipate a slower pace of interest rate hikes from the Federal Reserve later in the week.

US stocks rose on Friday, ignoring disappointing tech company outlooks, leading to a 1% increase in the Nasdaq 100. Futures for Japan and rising Australian shares suggest early gains.

The tech resurgence of the new year saw the Nasdaq 100 have its best week since November, with Tesla and Meta Platforms increasing by 3% or more.

The Fed is predicted to decrease interest rates to 0.25% amid slowing inflation, while the European Central Bank and the Bank of England are expected to hike by a half basis point.

The yuan is slightly higher, while COVID cases haven't spiked during the Lunar New Year and consumption signals suggest economic recovery.

Bond yields were slightly higher in Australia and slightly lower in New Zealand. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged the economy's risk of recession but was encouraged by recent data on inflation and jobs.

## Crypto Daily Digest: Crypto Market Rises as [Bitcoin](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT) and Ether Surge, Solana Outshines the Top 20 Coins with 9% Rise

After rising 7.56% in a single day to 22,667 on Jan. 21, [Bitcoin](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT) struggled to rise for the next six days. However, yesterday, both BTC and ETH surged a respective 3.13% and 4.58%, leading the entire crypto market on a rise.

The sudden volatility may have had to do with traders’ anticipation of this week’s inflation data release from the Fed, BOE, and ECB.

In related news, a survey shows that institutional investors expect “a strong year ahead for [Bitcoin](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT)” and are confident about the cryptocurrency’s long-term valuation. In addition, 65% of institutional investors surveyed agree that [Bitcoin](https://www.gate.io/trade/BTC_USDT) could reach $100,000.

Meanwhile, Ethereum has reached a new staking record with 15.9 million ETH staked, worth $25.3 billion, accounting for over 13% of total ETH supply. Staking activity remains steady with higher inflow and new depositors in January. The rise in staking may be due to the recent increase in Ethereum's value and upcoming Shanghai Upgrade. Staking rewards decrease as more ETH is staked, with current APY around 5%. Staking through centralized exchanges may result in lower rewards.

Among the top 20 coins, Solana stands out with a 9.05%. Looking closely at SOL’s prices, last week had been a roller coaster ride with a range of ups and downs between 20%.
