“Coinbase has acknowledged its failures in this respect to the Department,” the New York State Department of Financial Services said.

Coinbase is a global prime broker platform for digital assets. The company was founded in 2012 and has been licensed by the NYDFS since 2017. Coinbase shares have fallen more than 80% in 2022.

EQUITIES

US stock futures struggling to find the upside momentum after the FED minutes for December revealed that officials expect higher interest rates to remain in place. While European and UK shares traded flat on Thursday as the investors are waiting for the US employment data and Eurozone inflation report, both the economic data set to be released on Friday.

OIL

Crude oil prices are still struggling to find strong upside momentum despite a weaker US dollar as investors remain concerned about the global demand outlook. However, considering the last two session’s strong bearish momentum the oil prices can surely rebound in the short term if market sentiment stabilises. On the other hand, API released the crude inventory report. The report showed that US crude inventories expanded by 3.3 million barrels last week.

Meanwhile, the GBPUSD reversed from the early gains and retreated back to near the 1.2000 psychological support area. The sustainability of any gain in the currency pair in the coming days will largely depend on how the US dollar behaves.

GOLD
