Reuters polls show frail Japan GDP and US tapering ready to go

There have been two polls undertaken by Reuters that show two very differing pictures from two major economies.

IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor discusses both, including a forecast of a weakening Japanese economy while there is the prospect of early tightening from the Federal Reserve.

What to trade the week starting 16 August: Fed, RBA minutes; NVDA, HD, WMT earnings

With the summer lull now well and truly upon us, the calendar is a little lighter than would otherwise be the case, but there are still some pockets of interest.

Most notably the minutes from both the Federal Reserve and Reserve Bank of Australia, so watch out for AUD and USD trades.

On the corporate calendar there’s NVDA, HD and WMT to keep equity specialists interested.

European markets are mostly lower amid concerns about the delta variant and geopolitical uncertainty in Afghanistan.

The pound is under pressure despite better-than-expected unemployment data and the Kiwi dollar is selling off as the country enters a nationwide lockdown ahead of the RBNZ’s rate decision.

Oil, meanwhile, continues to decline after hitting a one-week low, while gold catches a bid amid risk-off sentiment and could be on track to break back above $1800.

    • Staking is the cornerstone for Network security in proof of stake (pos) and 32 ETH requirement for becoming a validator remain a stumbling block to many potential participants in Eth transition to pos. This was why one analyst recently praised Puffer Finance and claim it could increase participation since users can participate in Ethereum staking with as little as 1 or 2 ETH, especially with the anti-Slashing Technology. I didn’t pay much attention to his analysis since I didn’t have 1 eth to stake during the testnet stage but will this have any impact on eth staking participation?  
    • What caught my eye is their focus on empowering creators in the crypto world. As someone who's always been interested in the creator economy, I'm really curious to see how their MUA7648 protocol works. Apparently, it helps with the "modularization of AI agent assets" and supports unlimited issuance. Not entirely sure what that means in practice, but it sounds promising! Oh, and get this - they're running a trading event with a 500,000 MUA prize pool! 🎁 If you're interested, you need to register first. Trading starts on October 10th at 07:00 UTC. I've been reading up on their ecosystem, and it's pretty comprehensive. They've got MUA Academy for learning, MUA Cantina as a marketplace, MUA Labs for innovation, and something called MUAverse. With over 5,000 certified creators already on board, it seems like they're building a solid community.
    • With the uncertain nature of the market and insignificant airdrop rewards, exploring other strategies is a no brainer. While assessing liquid staking as a valid option, Puffer Finance reward easily appeals for its rewards and flexibility. With Puffer, anyone can benefit from both PoS and restaking earnings. Users can also stake ETH and receive liquid restaking token pufETH which appreciates as validators are added. In addition to its Liquid restaking rewards, PUFFER token's listing on Bitget is imminent providing various earning opportunities including a launchpool, PoolX etc. Puffer Finance has seen an exponential adoption since launch, could this listing and the opportunities it will unlock fast track its adoption?
