Odaily Planet Daily reports that Standard Chartered Bank has lowered its Bitcoin price forecast for the second time in less than three months, warning that the BTC price could fall below $50,000 before recovering. In a report released Thursday, the bank said it now expects Bitcoin to be worth $100,000 by the end of 2026, down from its previous forecast of $150,000. Last December, the bank had already significantly lowered its Bitcoin price target from $300,000. This latest adjustment comes after a turbulent period for the digital asset. Bitcoin has struggled since the market crash last October, followed by continued volatility and shifts in risk appetite. (Bloomberg)

A Reuters survey, reported by Odaily, indicates that long-term U.S. Treasury yields will remain stable in the short term, but are expected to rise later this year due to inflation concerns and worries about the Federal Reserve's independence. Short-term yields, meanwhile, are expected to decline moderately due to bets on interest rate cuts. Meanwhile, nearly 60% of bond strategists (21 out of 37) believe that the massive issuance of Treasury bonds over the next few years to finance Trump's tax cuts and spending plans will make a significant reduction in the Fed's $6.6 trillion balance sheet unfeasible. Another Reuters survey shows that the Fed is expected to implement two interest rate cuts later this year, the first in June when Warsh takes over as Fed chairman. The yield on the interest rate-sensitive 2-year Treasury is expected to fall from the current 3.50% to 3.45% at the end of April and 3.38% at the end of July. The median forecast also indicates that the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield is expected to rise to 4.29% in one year, higher than the 4.20% predicted last month. (Jinshi)
