According to Iranian media Fars News, a fuel tank fire and explosion occurred in Sulaymaniyah, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.August 18th - According to three sources on Monday, the United States and Canada are in talks to potentially reduce U.S. auto tariffs from the current 25% to 15% (after deducting certain value components). The U.S. will impose high new tariffs on $20 billion worth of other Canadian goods after Wednesdays deadline. If an agreement is reached, the tariff level will be significantly lower than the 25% tariff currently imposed by Trump on auto imports. Sources indicated that U.S. officials have proposed deducting only U.S. value components from the current 15% tariff on Canadian autos, but Canadian officials want to deduct all North American components, including parts from Canada and Mexico. Automotive industry officials say that if a broader deduction of regional value components is implemented, the effective U.S. tariff rate on North American-made cars could fall to single digits. This rate is far lower than the current 15% tariff on North American cars imported from Japan, South Korea, and the European Union, and the 10% tariff on most British cars.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told US President Donald Trump that Israel is attacking Palestinians in Gaza, when the second phase of the peace plan was supposed to take effect.Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan told US President Donald Trump that it is important to continue dialogue with Iran to make full use of diplomatic channels, and that Türkiye is ready to contribute to this effort.1.

BTC Fear & Greed Index Falls to 31 as Investor Focus Shifts to the Fed

Bitcoin (BTC) decreased by 0.89% on Sunday. BTC concluded the week up 5.42% to $20,647, partially undoing a Saturday gain of 1.08%. Notably, BTC avoided trading below $20,000 for the fifth day in a row and ended the day above $20,000 for the sixth straight session.


After a choppy morning, BTC increased to a high of $20,950 in the middle of the trading day. A late low of $20,532 was reached by BTC as it failed to reach the First Major Resistance Level (R1) at $21,091. Before partially regaining its footing to reach $20,647, BTC momentarily breached the First Major Support Level (S1) at $20,576.


In anticipation of a busy week for the global financial markets, investors had a calm day to lock in gains. The Fed announces its decision on interest rates this coming Wednesday. The Fed's intentions for December remain unclear, despite the markets' bets for a 75-basis point rate increase.


The bullish week was fueled by anticipation of a Fed turnaround in December. The markets, however, could see investor concern prior to the Wednesday decision. The sensitivity of the cryptocurrency market to US economic data and the Fed maintains the BTC link with the NASDAQ 100.


The NASDAQ 100 Mini was down 56.75 points this morning, pushing BTC into negative territory.

Investor caution increases ahead of the Fed, causing the Fear & Greed Index to decline.


The Fear & Greed Index dropped from 34/100 to 31/100 this morning. Investor apprehension ahead of the FOMC interest rate decision and press conference on Wednesday is reflected in the decline. A return of the Index to the Neutral area would be supported by confirmation of the Fed's shift in December.


As investors wait for the Fed to announce its policy, US economic statistics will continue to be the major focus in the near term. Prior to Wednesday's decision, important statistics include JOLTs job postings, ADP nonfarm employment, and ISM Manufacturing PMI data.


To support a reversal of the negative trend in BTC, the Index will need to hit 40/100 and the neutral zone. A decline to below 20/100 would indicate a BTC decline to below $18,000.
