Yearn finance (YFI) gains 36% as DeFi tokens follow Bitcoin’s bullish trend

October 10, 2020

In the past 72 hours, Yearnfinance (YFI) surged by 58% after dropping to as low as $12,260 at a few exchanges.

Three factors that may have catalyzed the sharp rebound are: YFI had become deeply oversold, lead developer Andre Cronje’s deep commitment to the project and the ever expanding use cases for YFI within a large ecosystem.

YFI was deeply oversold

Over the past month DeFi tokens endured a brutal correction which saw the value of many DeFi tokens drop by 40%-70%. The sell-off appears to be primarily led by corrections in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) but now that BTC has turned $11K to support, traders are watching to see if YFI and other tokens will continue to rise higher.

As Cointelegraph reported, the strong fundamentals of the top DeFi projects was a hint that the market was oversold.

Oct 9 (Reuters) – Most major currencies in Latin American were set to end the week higher on Friday, with Brazil’s real leading gains after economic data through the week showed signs of improvement, while a weaker dollar also offered support.

The real BRBY, BRL= strengthened 1.3%, heading for its first weekly gain in five as data showed a pick-up in Brazil’s services sector last month. Another report showed a record reading on retail sales for August.

Investors, however, worried about Brazil’s public finances after the introduction of a new fiscal bill, called Renda Cidada, fanned fears about the government overshooting its spending limit.

FX analysts at Commerzbank said that given the uncertainty about the pandemic’sprogression and its economic impact, it is unlikely that disagreements about the consolidation of national finances will be resolved soon.

(Reuters) – Canada’s main stock index hit a one-month high on Friday after better-than-expected employment data underscored a consistent economic recovery from the coronavirus, while elevated gold and base metal prices also helped.

* Canada added 378,200 jobs in September and the unemployment rate fell to 9.0%, beating analyst expectations.

* The materials sector, which includes precious and base metal miners and fertilizer companies, added 2.1% as gold and base metal prices rose on the back of a weak dollar and supply woes.

General Electric GE shares jumped higher in pre-market trading Friday after analysts at Goldman Sachs resumed coverage of the industrial group with a buy rating and a $10 price target.

Goldman Sachs analyst Joe Ritchie, citing the progress towards a ‘”leaner, structurally more productive company with better capital discipline” during the two-year tenure of CEO Larry Culp, said the group’s free cash flows will improve next year as its higher-margin businesses recover from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic. He also argues there is potential upside for both the stock and its longer-term price target heading into the group’s third quarter earnings on October 28.

Culp told investors last month that GE’s industrial free cash flows would be positive before the end of this year, a noted improvement from his July update that it would likely turn positive on in 2021.

General Electric shares were marked 3.3% higher in early

TOKYO (Reuters) – Oil prices eased a few cents early in trading on Friday in a breather at the end of a week of big gains propelled by a strike in Norway that raised the prospect of supply from the major producer being slashed by up to 25%.

Brent

was down by 9 cents at $43.25 a barrel by 0152 GMT, having gained more than 3% on Thursday. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude

dropped 5 cents at $41.14 after also falling more than 3% on Thursday.

Both contracts are on track for gains of around 10% this week – the first rise in three weeks – yanked higher by the prospect of tighter supply on production outages in the North Sea because of the action by Norwegian oil workers.

“This could see almost one million barrels a day of crude oil impacted,” ANZ Research said in a note.

By Stephen Culp

NEW YORK, Oct 8 (Reuters) – U.S. stock indexes touched one-month highs and crude prices gained ground on Thursday amid signs of progress in fiscal aid negotiations.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said emergency aid for commercial airlines was a matter of national security and could only pass through Congress with assurances that negotiations will continue toward crafting a broader pandemic relief package.

And while White House adviser Larry Kudlow said the Trump administration would like to see “standalone” bills to provide additional unemployment assistance and extend the Paycheck Protection Program, Senate Leader Mitch McConnell warned there remain “vast differences” between Democrats and Republicans regarding the size of a more comprehensive deal.

“We’re seeing the broad market lift and certainly cyclical sectors are doing well,” said Tim Ghriskey, chief investment strategist at Inverness Counsel in New York. “That shows that the market is anticipating some kind
