What Did the Stock Market Do Today? Buy Bitcoin Miners.
今天股市做了些什么?收购比特币矿工。
Lawmakers and cryptocurrencies are a dangerous combination. Today though, their intersection resulted in what was at least a short-term rally in$Bitcoin(BTC.CC)$ mining stocks. So what do you need to know?
立法者和加密货币是一个危险的组合。然而,今天,他们的交集导致了至少是短期的反弹$比特币(BTC.CC)$矿业股。那么你需要知道什么呢?
A bipartisan infrastructure bill calls to spend roughly $1.2 trillion on “hard” infrastructure — roads, bridges, electric vehicle chargers. Part of the funding for it will come from $28 billion in new cryptocurrency taxes, raised over 10 years. How those crypto taxes are levied is of critical interest to investors.
两党的一项基础设施法案要求在道路、桥梁、电动汽车充电器等“硬”基础设施上花费约1.2万亿美元。该计划的部分资金将来自未来10年新征收的280亿美元加密货币税。这些加密税是如何征收的,这对投资者来说至关重要。
An initial draft of the proposal was unclear on who was classified as a “broker.” Without clarity, crypto bulls were worried the taxes would affect everyone from decentralized exchange operators to miners, an unprecedented blow to the digital asset class. Then, Sens. Ron Wyden, Cynthia Lummis and Pat Toomey drafted an amendment that at least temporarily saved the day. Under their proposal, miners would be exempted as “brokers.”
该提案的初稿并不清楚谁被归类为“经纪人”。在不明朗的情况下,看涨密码的人担心,这些税收将影响到从分散的交易所运营商到矿商的每个人,这对数字资产类别来说是前所未有的打击。然后,参议员罗恩·怀登、辛西娅·卢米斯和帕特·图米起草了一项修正案,至少暂时挽救了局面。根据他们的提议,矿工将被豁免为“经纪人”。
So everything was swimming along just fine… until today. The latest proposal from Sen. Mark Warner gets a little nitpicky with what type of miners are exempted. Right now, he is calling for exemptions for miners of proof-of-work cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. However, proof-of-stake miners would be considered “brokers” and have to pay taxes.
所以一切都很顺利,…直到今天。参议员马克·华纳(Mark Warner)的最新提议在哪些类型的矿工被豁免方面变得有点挑剔。目前,他呼吁比特币等工作证明加密货币的矿工获得豁免。然而,有股权证明的矿工将被视为“经纪人”,必须纳税。
Importantly, $Ethereum(ETH.CC)$ is about to embrace a proof-of-stake model, which is largely considered greener thanks to its lower energy usage. This has crypto fanatics decrying the Warner proposal as being dangerous to green blockchain… and to decentralized finance.
重要的是$以太(ETH.CC)$该公司即将采用利害关系证明模式,由于其较低的能源使用量,这种模式在很大程度上被认为是更环保的。这让密码狂热分子谴责华纳的提议对绿色区块链…构成危险以及去中心化金融。
However, at least for day traders, this brought a short-term catalyst. Bitcoin miners like $Marathon Digital Holdings Inc(MARA.US)$, $Riot Blockchain Inc(RIOT.US)$ and $SOS Ltd(SOS.US)$ shot up today.
然而,至少对日内交易者来说,这带来了一个短期的催化剂。比特币矿工喜欢$马拉松数字控股公司(MARA.US)$, $Riot区块链公司(RIOT.US)$和$SOS有限公司(SOS.US)$今天突然冒了出来。
Bank Stocks Rally on Jobs Boost
银行股因就业提振而上涨
Today investors learned that the U.S. economy added 943,000 non-farm payrolls in July, beating expectations for a gain of 865,000. In the same month, the unemployment rate fell to 5.4%.
今天,投资者了解到,美国经济7月份增加了94.3万个非农就业岗位,超出了86.5万个的预期。同月,失业率降至5.4%。
Analysts have dubbed this report a “blowout,” although there is more to the story than meets the eyes. Previously, investors assumed such a report would pressure Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to kick off tapering talk during his next event. However, Powell recently countered that assumption, highlighting further improvements needed in the labor market. Specifically, Powell touched on the resurgence of virus fears and the lower market participation. In other words, there are still many Americans who are not considered unemployed because they are not actively looking. These are people who may still be apprehensive about the pandemic or otherwise serving as caregivers.
分析人士将这份报告称为“井喷”,尽管这篇报道比表面上看起来更有道理。此前,投资者认为这样的报告将向美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔施压,要求他在下一次活动中开始缩减量化宽松的言论。然而,鲍威尔最近反驳了这一假设,强调劳动力市场需要进一步改善。具体来说,鲍威尔谈到了对病毒恐惧的卷土重来和市场参与度的下降。换句话说,仍然有许多美国人不被认为失业,因为他们没有积极寻找。这些人可能仍然对大流行感到担忧,或以其他方式担任照顾者。
But still, investors took the jobs report as a victory. Benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury yields climbed on Friday to 1.29%, as investors start anticipating an easing of Fed bond purchases.
但尽管如此,投资者仍将就业报告视为一场胜利。美国基准10年期国债收益率周五攀升至1.29%,投资者开始预期美联储将放松债券购买。
And, unlike other more growth-oriented stocks, bank stocks can thrive in a higher-bond-yield environment. Considering that and post-pandemic catalysts, bank stocks like $Bank of America Corporation(BAC.US)$ and $Wells Fargo & Co(WFC.US)$ posted gains to close Friday.
而且,与其他更具成长性的股票不同,银行股可以在债券收益率较高的环境中蓬勃发展。考虑到这一点,以及大流行后的催化剂,银行类股$美国银行(美国银行)$和$富国银行(WFC.US)$周五收盘时上涨。
What Else We're Watching
我们还在看什么
$Ethan Allen Interiors Inc(ETH.US)$ is ready for a rebrand… or at least it is ready to have a more unique identity. The furniture retailer announced it would change its ticker symbol from ETH to ETD. Cryptocurrency fanatics have been mistakenly diving into ETH stock instead of $Ethereum(ETH.CC)$. Now, with a new ticker, Ethan Allen hopes to enjoy its own life.
$Novavax Inc(NVAX.US)$ dropped by more than 19% on Friday after announcing it would not file for emergency-use authorization until the fourth quarter. Vaccine plays like NVAX stock have been enjoying investor favor amid renewed virus concerns. However, without making progress on its regulatory path, it will be hard for investors to support Novavax.
$Kaixinqic(KXIN.US)$ rocketed today because it has Hollywood… or at least electric vehicle stardom… in its sights. The Chinese used car retail announced it is moving into the new energy vehicle space in an attempt to rival $NIO Inc.(NIO.US)$, $XPeng Inc.(XPEV.US)$ and $li Auto Inc.(LI.US)$. KXIN stock closed higher by 90% today.
$Ethan Allen Interiors Inc.(ETH.US)$准备好重塑…品牌或者至少它已经准备好拥有一个更独特的身份。家具零售商宣布了这一消息将其股票代码从ETH改为ETD。加密货币狂热分子一直在错误地投资ETH股票,而不是$以太(ETH.CC)$。现在,有了新的股票代码,伊桑·艾伦希望能享受自己的生活。
$Novavax Inc.(NVAX.US)$周五,在宣布要到第四季度才会申请紧急使用授权后,该公司股价下跌了19%以上。在新的病毒担忧中,像NVAX股票这样的疫苗一直受到投资者的青睐。然而,在其监管道路上没有取得进展,投资者将很难支持Novavax.
$开心汽车(韩国)$今天一飞冲天,因为它有好莱坞…或者至少是电动汽车明星…在它的视线中。中国二手车零售业宣布将迈入新能源汽车领域试图与之抗衡$蔚来。(NIO.US)$, $小鹏汽车-W公司(XPEV.US)$和$理想汽车-W公司(LI.US)$。KXIN股票今天收盘上涨90%。
