AVA WEEKLY UPDATE (9 May-15 May)

Welcome to this week’s $AVA and market update!

MARKET UPDATE

The top stories from the broader market:

📉 Inflation Slows to Lowest in 4 Years:

The latest inflation data was released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, with the Consumer Price Index growing at the slowest pace since February 2021 at a rate of 2.3% YoY in April 2025 (down from 2.4% YoY in March 2025). This fuelled $BTC and $ETH to continue their strong rallies this week.

🤝 US-China Temporary Tariff Deal:

On Monday, the US and China agreed to temporarily lower the tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30% and from 125% to 10% on US imports for 90 days from 14 May.

📊 Coinbase to Trade on S&P 500 Next Week:

After going public in 2021 via a direct listing, @CoinbaseExch is now set to begin trading on the S&P 500 next week — the first public crypto company to do so and a major milestone for the entire industry.
