Bank of Russia may keep key rate at 14% at next meeting, consensus forecast says

Eighteen of 19 experts surveyed by TASS expect the Bank of Russia to leave its key rate at 14% at the September 11 meeting. Analysts say faster core inflation, fuel shortages, a weaker ruble and uncertainty over budget parameters are limiting room for further cuts, though a 25-basis-point reduction remains possible.

Bitcoin holds near $78,500 as surging yen threatens global risk assets

Bitcoin stayed near $78,500 on Sept. 8, within its recent $77,200-$82,100 range, as the yen reached its strongest level since February.

Bitcoin hits decade-low S&P 500 correlation, but daily data tells a different story

Bitwise said Bitcoin’s 260-day correlation with the S&P 500, measured from price levels, was the lowest since 2015. CryptoSlate’s FRED-based calculation found log-level correlation near −0.62, while percentage-return correlation was +0.40. The figures show that prices can diverge over months while daily gains and losses still overlap, so negative correlation alone does not prove Bitcoin will hedge stock losses.
