Crypto markets gained more than 1 percent in the past 24 hours, in tandem with a potential rebound in Wall Street. Equity benchmarks across regions more or less recovered after a massive sell-off on Tuesday on renewed macro-economic concerns.
Wall Street had suffered deep losses on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones slipping 1.1 percent, S&P 500 dropping 1.5 percent and the Nasdaq Composite slumping by 1.6 percent. A more than expected decline in consumer confidence readings from the U.S. had renewed concerns about the impact of high interest rates on the economy and the demand outlook.
Markets now await major data releases from the U.S. ranging from the Durable Goods Orders data for August due on Wednesday, final print of second quarter GDP readings due on Thursday and the PCE-based inflation readings for August due on Friday. Inflation updates from Europe and PMI updates from China would also be known by the end of the week. Speeches by several Fed officials including Chair Jerome Powell is seen swaying market sentiment on Thursday.

European benchmarks are trading in the green zone or close to the flatline. Asian stocks finished Wednesday’s trading on a mostly mixed note.
