Express News | The 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold prices has risen to +0.50, reaching its highest level since the onset of the pandemic in 2020.

On September 6, The Kobeissi Letter reported that the price movements of Bitcoin and gold are increasingly synchronized: the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold prices has risen to +0.50, approaching the record high set during the pandemic in 2020. This figure has more than doubled since the beginning of this year. By comparison, following the recovery from the 2022 bear market, the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and gold peaked at only +0.30. The recent rapid increase in correlation accelerated primarily after the U.S. Treasury announced on August 19 that it would at least double the size of its long-term Treasury bond buyback operations. The Treasury plans to increase the repurchase amount per operation from $2 billion to $4 billion. Meanwhile, the 90-day correlation between Bitcoin and the Nasdaq 100 Index has fallen to approximately +0.30, marking a new low for the past year. Investors are increasingly viewing gold and Bitcoin as assets to hedge against currency depreciation.

However, these transfers do not necessarily indicate selling; some may reflect movements of BTC to more secure storage methods due to factors such as the Coldcard incident.

How does Wall Street view the August non-farm payrolls? Strong employment figures have not ended the suspense over a September rate hike; next week's CPI holds "decisive significance."

The U.S. non-farm payrolls report for August was surprisingly strong, prompting the market to reassess the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate hike in September. However, Wall Street does not believe this resolves the policy uncertainty. According to analysts at multiple institutions, while the robust employment data has indeed strengthened the hand of the hawkish camp within the Fed, it is insufficient on its own to determine the outcome of the September monetary policy meeting. The CPI data scheduled for release next week remains the key factor likely to "set the direction." On Friday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that non-farm payrolls increased by 162,000 in August, far exceeding the market expectation of 56,000. Additionally, job gains for the previous two months were revised upward by a combined 55,000, with July's figure being adjusted from a decrease of 23,000.
