New York Fed President John Williams stated he saw no need for further rate increases in 2027, a view that weakened the US Dollar and lifted stocks across Asia. Bitcoin climbed 1.5 percent to nearly $83,900, while Zcash led major cryptocurrencies with a gain of nearly 7 percent. Separately, flare-ups in the Middle East have raised doubts about energy recovery.
