The global cryptocurrency market was trading marginally higher by 1.32%. “The surge in the crypto assets value was led by crypto heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ether which recovered from the hawkish stance taken by the Fed chief to tackle growing inflationary concerns, said Tarusha Mittal, COO, and co-founder of UniFarm. “The crypto market seems to have digested the anticipated rate hike and strict monetary policy indicated by Federal Reserve.”
GOLDThe price of gold has also trended downwards over the course of August. After a brief bump to $1,800 on August 15, gold then slipped to $1,780. From there it trickled down, eventually hitting $1,730 on August 22. Recovering a bit, gold rose to $1,750 on August 23 and above $1,760 on August 25. A volume surge the next day saw it then drop to $1,720. Despite a brief recovery on August 29, gold proceeded to topple over the next few days, sinking below $1,700 on September 1. Since then, a brief recovery has brought it back to $1,715.

There might also be some bargain hunting in the market after prices dropped to $1,700,” said Carsten Menke, an analyst with Julius Baer.
NKEOver the last month of the summer, Nike stock did not perform particularly well. Trading around $115 on August 1, NKE dipped to $113 in the following days. Then despite achieving its former level, NKE dipped again on August 9, but recovered the next day then proceeded to rise again hitting $117 on August 16. From there it fell again, hitting $110 on August 22. While it recovered a bit the following days by August 29, NKE had reached $107. Since falling as low as $104 yesterday, it is currently back around $107.
