Bitcoin Rises on Hopes For U.S.-Iran Diplomacy -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/07/27 07:050705 GMT - Bitcoin rises as a pause in fighting between the U.S. and Iran improves risk sentiment. President Trump has delayed major military escalation against Iran to allow for diplomacy, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing U.S. officials. Continued negotiations, lower energy prices and reduced military escalation improve liquidity conditions, lower inflation fears and support risk appetite, Zaye Capital Markets analyst Naeem Aslam says in a note. However, bitcoin remains vulnerable given recent outflows in spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds, he says. Any renewed attacks in the Middle East could send bitcoin to as low as $60,000, he says. Bitcoin rises 1.3% to $65,440, LSEG data show. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)

Morgan Stanley warns: old storage prices are peaking, supply and demand may turn relaxed by 2028
Morgan Stanley pointed out that after the U.S. midterm elections, it is expected that about 20% of the new data center capacity in the United States originally planned for 2028 will be postponed to 2029. This may cause a "gap" in the supply chain in 2028, resulting in the risk of excess inventory of legacy storage. Legacy storage is less bound by long-term fixed price contracts, so a narrowing supply-demand gap could lead to significant price fluctuations. The above analysis refers only to legacy storage, including DDR3/4, SLC/MLC NAND, and NOR flash.
