QCP insights: US-Saudi trade pact triggers Crypto rally and market recovery

Date:

A market-wide rebound has been sparked by a landmark $600 billion trade agreement between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, with crypto assets showing stronger performance than traditional equities. Bitcoin has been observed trading near its all-time highs, as investor risk appetite has returned in anticipation of Coinbase’s entry into the S&P 500.

Digital Assets Drive Market Recovery Following Major Trade Pact and Easing Inflation

Following the announcement of a $600 billion trade pact between the United States and Saudi Arabia, a renewed rally has been observed in the crypto market. The deal, which involves substantial tariff reductions, has reignited risk-on sentiment and driven digital assets to new peak levels.

As noted in QCP’s daily insights, the rebound was driven by bitcoin approaching its former all-time high, as capital was rotated back into risk-oriented assets by traders. Ether also advanced, reducing its lag behind bitcoin, with the ETH/BTC ratio increasing to 0.025. The wider crypto rally surpassed gains seen in traditional equities, while the S&P 500, after experiencing a 17% decline, has rebounded to break even for the year.

Additional momentum for the rally was provided by favorable macroeconomic conditions. Softer-than-anticipated U.S. CPI data was reported, strengthening the argument for interest rate reductions later in the year. Although the Federal Reserve has maintained a cautious stance, market sentiment has shifted, with expectations now leaning toward two rate cuts in 2025.

Upcoming catalysts may also provide further support to crypto markets. In particular, the official addition of Coinbase to the S&P 500 on May 19 is expected to prompt institutional inflows, as passive investment funds realign their holdings to mirror the benchmark index.

For digital assets, continued upward momentum appears to be set in motion by the alignment of favorable macroeconomic sentiment, geopolitical progress, and key structural developments.
