The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of fragility after $1 billion in liquidations were triggered by an unexpected rise in the Producer Price Index (PPI). Bitcoin briefly dipped below $112,000 as traders adjusted positions, while Ethereum ETFs saw strong inflows of $729 million despite the market turbulence. The market's sensitivity to macroeconomic indicators highlights the growing correlation between crypto and traditional markets.
💬 Do you think investors should change how they manage risks because crypto is acting more like traditional markets or do you see this more as a chance to make profits from new market opportunities?

Minus $767 billion in a day: Mag7 shares are close to the biggest drop in more than a yearPapers from the largest U.S. technology companies of the “Magnificent Seven” are close to the largest one-day decline in more than a year. According to Bloomberg estimates, during the selloff on July 23 they together already lost around $767 billion in market value. U.S. markets plunged on Thursday under pressure from sharply devalued shares of Tesla and Alphabet from the Mag7. The day before, both companies published quarterly results that, as Bloomberg writes, cast doubt on the durability of the AI trend—exactly this trend has been driving the stock market forward over the past three years.

The influx of $75 billion in hot money into Turkey created a dilemma for authoritiesThe inflow of money into assets denominated in Turkish lira creates a dilemma for authorities, who are weighing how to curb speculative short-term flows without cutting off an important source of currency support. Bloomberg writes about this.
Foreigners, according to estimates, invested $75 billion in high-yield FX derivatives and money market funds, attracted by Turkey’s policy rate of 37%—one of the highest in the world. These flows are part of the carry trade, in which investors borrow cheaply abroad and invest where yields are higher.

Global sugar prices hit the highest level since April 2025The price of the October futures contract for raw sugar (unrefined sugar) traded on the New York market on Wednesday, September 2, rose by 2.23% and reached a high of $0.19 per pound. Prices last exceeded this level on April 8, 2025. This is indicated by data from the ICE exchange.
Rising sugar prices are being observed amid concerns about unfavorable weather conditions in key producing regions, which could reduce yields. According to Goldman Sachs, the weather phenomenon “super El Niño” may worsen conditions in the global sugar market, since about 70% of the world’s exports of this product comes from Brazil, India, and Thailand—regions vulnerable to droughts and floods associated with El Niño.

Freight rates for tankers in the Black Sea reach a record highThe cost of freight for oil tankers operating from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean has reached a record level following a series of drone attacks, Bloomberg reports. This has led to lower prices for the main Kazakh export grade of oil, CPC Blend.
Daily profit for tankers on this route has risen to $440,948. This is the highest figure in the entire history of observations by the Baltic Exchange, which Bloomberg has been conducting since 2008. The rate is calculated for batches of 135,000 tons traveling from the Russian port of Novorossiysk to the Sicilian port of Augusta. Since the beginning of July, when the latest attacks on tankers took place, it has jumped by 140%.

The US and China are snapping up copper: a shortage is pushing prices toward $15,000 per tonThe copper market is rapidly tightening: a surge in shipments to the US and rising orders in China create the conditions for a rally that could push global prices to historical highs. This is reported by Bloomberg.
Futures in London this week have surpassed the $14,000 per ton mark — a ceiling that was only breached a handful of times this year. Many traders expect a quick breakout above the $14,500 record set in late January on the wave of speculative buying in China.

Saudi Arabian oil imports into the U.S. fall to zero for the first time in 40 yearsSaudi crude oil imports into the U.S. fell to zero in July, marking the first time in more than 40 years that a whole month passed without any such shipments since 1985, according to preliminary government data.
The halt in Saudi oil exports to the United States is linked to disruptions caused by the U.S.–Iran conflict, which effectively blocked shipments of crude oil from the Persian Gulf. Data from the U.S. Energy Department released on Wednesday confirmed that Saudi oil shipments toward the U.S. completely stopped last month. This sharp change contrasts with the start of the year, when American refineries were buying more than 800,000 barrels of Saudi oil per day.
