US Treasury yields rose and the dollar strengthened after a Jackson Hole speech by Kevin Warsh boosted market expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes. The shift in rate expectations has also recently led to institutional outflows from spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.
Meanwhile, the yen weakened beyond 160 per dollar. Market participants say the likelihood of intervention by Japanese authorities would rise if the currency weakens toward 161, with a stronger response possible in the 162 to 163 range.
With Aug. 31 marking the final trading day of August, the market is also watching monthly fund flows for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
