Analysts: Coinbase premium index has been negative for 40 consecutive days, and PCE data exacerbates risk aversion.
PANews reported on June 26 that CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that the Coinbase premium index has been in negative territory for 40 consecutive days since May 15, reflecting persistent and recently intensified selling pressure from professional and institutional investors. Coinbase Advanced serves professional and institutional clients, while Binance is the primary platform for retail traders; the continued downward pressure on prices by institutions fully reflects the current bearish sentiment surrounding Bitcoin. Meanwhile, the US May PCE rose 4.1% year-on-year, higher than the expected 4.0%, and core PCE rose 3.4%, higher than the expected 3.3%, both the highest since April 2023; GDP growth of 2.1% far exceeded expectations, putting the Federal Reserve in a more difficult policy position.
WEEX Labs: This week's focus is on PCE inflation and MU earnings reports; US stocks are entering a period of intensive macroeconomic data releases.
According to Mars Finance, from June 22nd to 26th, the US stock market will see GDP revisions, PCE inflation, PMI data, and multiple earnings reports. The market will focus on the macroeconomic environment and the performance of the AI industry chain. Key events this week include: MU's earnings release on Wednesday, with demand for AI storage chips, HBM, and data centers becoming the market focus; the release of May's core PCE inflation data on Thursday, which will influence market expectations regarding the Fed's interest rate path; and the release of preliminary PMI data on Tuesday, which will further validate economic resilience in the manufacturing and service sectors. WEEX Labs believes that this week's PCE data and MU's earnings report may jointly influence market pricing of inflation and AI capital expenditure. Funds may continue to rotate around interest rate-sensitive sectors and AI infrastructure, potentially increasing short-term market volatility. Investors should pay attention to data releases and changes in geopolitical and energy risks.

According to the Cleveland Fed's inflation forecasting model, the core PCE is expected to remain unchanged at 3.3% in May, while the overall PCE is expected to rise slightly from 3.8% to 4.0%. Micron Technology (MU), a memory chip manufacturer, will release its quarterly earnings report after the US stock market closes on Wednesday, June 24th, which will be a key indicator of chip demand, as the market will observe whether demand is still accelerating. The company is guiding revenue of $33.5 billion and a gross margin of approximately 81%.
The Federal Reserve lowered its GDP growth and unemployment rate forecasts, while raising its inflation and interest rate forecasts.
According to ChainCatcher, citing Jinshi News, the Federal Reserve has lowered its GDP growth and unemployment rate forecasts for this year, significantly raised its PCE and core PCE inflation forecasts for this year and next, and also raised its federal funds rate forecasts for the next three years.
Core PCE inflation rate may be revised down by 0.2 percentage points; the US BEA will adjust some of its PCE calculation methods.
According to Odaily Odaily, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) recently announced adjustments to some calculation methods in the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index. These changes are expected to be reflected in the data revision released on September 30, 2026. Market estimates generally indicate that this adjustment will lower the core PCE inflation rate by approximately 0.2 percentage points. Current data shows that core PCE inflation was 3.4% over the past 12 months ending in May 2026, consistently above the Federal Reserve's 2% target since March 2021. The BEA's adjustments primarily target three sub-sectors: portfolio management and investment advisory services, computer software and accessories, and legal services. Former Federal Reserve Governor Miran stated in a speech last December that "what should have been recorded as an increase in the quantity of service consumption was instead recorded as a price increase." Miran, along with Federal Reserve economists Alessandro Barbarino and Anthony M. Diercks, published a paper in May analyzing the shortcomings of existing statistical methods, including measurement issues related to portable storage devices and video games. JPMorgan economist Abiel Reinhart stated that "Grand Theft Auto 6 might also have the opportunity to influence the U.S. Treasury yield curve."
AI capital spending by the five major tech giants is surging and is projected to reach 3.2% of US GDP in 2027, surpassing defense spending for the first time.
According to forecasts released by The Kobeissi Letter, the investment boom in AI is reshaping the US economy. It is projected that by 2027, the capital expenditures of the five major tech giants—Alphabet (Google's parent company), Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle—on AI will climb to approximately 3.2% of US GDP. If this forecast materializes, it will be the first time in US history that annual AI capital expenditures have exceeded national defense spending (estimated at approximately 2.7% of GDP next year). Data shows that this year (2026), these five companies' AI capital expenditures are expected to exceed $800 billion, with the percentage of GDP rising sharply from 1.5% in 2025 to around 2.5%, approaching the estimated 2.7% of defense spending. By 2027, this figure is projected to surge further, reaching a record $1.1 trillion.
