June 1 – U.S. April PCE came in at 3.8%, with core PCE holding steady at 3.3%, and multiple Federal Reserve officials continue to flag persistent inflation risks. That’s pushed the bond market to deliver some of the tightening the central bank would typically implement itself, even before the Fed makes its next policy move. Markets are now embracing a new reality: interest rates could stay higher for longer than previously expected, and financial conditions have already tightened ahead of official policy action. The key catalyst behind this market repricing is the Middle East.

June 1, 2026: U.S.-listed Bitcoin miner Cango Inc. (NYSE: CANG) released its Q1 2026 financial results. For the three-month period, total revenue reached $102 million, with the Bitcoin mining segment contributing $98.4 million. The company mined 1,266 Bitcoin during the quarter. A key focus this period was aggressive deleveraging: long-term debt plummeted 94.5% from $557.6 million at the end of 2025 to just $30.6 million, a move that greatly strengthened Cango’s balance sheet. By quarter’s end, the firm held 1,026 Bitcoin, plus received a $65 million capital injection from its chairman to boost liquidity. While Cango posted a net loss of $261.1 million, driven mainly by non-cash impairment charges tied to falling Bitcoin prices—specifically $151.8 million in fair value adjustments for pledged receivables and $69.3 million in mining hardware impairments—its core mining cash flow remained solid. Operational hash rate clocked in at 37.01 EH/s, with self-operated capacity at 27.98 EH/s. T
