PANews reported on August 9th that while this week's economic data was light, some data clearly indicated slowing demand. While US labor productivity remained strong, slowing economic activity and rising service sector prices suggest the market is experiencing signs of mild stagflation. Looking ahead to next week, the US will release three key data points: CPI, PPI, and terror data. These three releases may further reinforce market expectations of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve. The following are key points for market attention in the new week:

Tuesday at 20:30, US July CPI data;

At 22:00 on Tuesday, Barkin, a 2027 FOMC voting member and president of the Richmond Fed, will deliver a speech;

At 01:00 on Thursday, Goolsbee, a 2025 FOMC voting member and president of the Chicago Fed, will deliver a speech on monetary policy;

At 01:30 on Thursday, Atlanta Fed President and 2027 FOMC voting member Bostic will deliver a speech on the outlook for the U.S. economy.

At 20:30 on Thursday, the number of initial jobless claims in the United States for the week ending August 9 and the July PPI data will be released;

At 02:00 on Friday, Barkin, a 2027 FOMC voting member and president of the Richmond Fed, will participate in a webinar;

At 22:00 on Friday, the preliminary value of the US one-year inflation rate forecast for August, the preliminary value of the University of Michigan Consumer Confidence Index for August, and the monthly rate of commercial inventories in June will be released.

If next Friday's retail sales data reveals deeper-than-expected economic distress, market expectations for a September rate cut and another before the end of the year are unlikely to change, but any CPI-induced dollar gains are likely to be limited and short-lived. More importantly, Trump remains willing to impose tariffs on more countries. Therefore, if the situation spirals out of control, further selling of US assets could occur in the near future.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
