Fond för solenergi lider av Trumps utspel

Fond för solenergi lider av Trumps utspel. Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEArca: TAN), den största ETF som investerar i sektorn har backat med 7,3 procent under

President Donald Trumps tariffer har slagit på solpanelimporterna i USA, vilket ledde till att amerikanska förnybara energiföretag stänger av investeringar och drar ned kurserna på börshandlade fonder med fokus på solenergi. Det råder ingen tvekan om att Fond för solenergi lider av Trumps utspel. Invesco Solar ETF (NYSEArca: TAN), den största ETF som investerar i sektorn har backat med 7,3 procent under 2018.

Solsektorn ser mörkare ut i år efter att takten på solpaneler orsakade amerikanska förnybara energiföretag att avbryta eller frysa investeringar på över 2,5 miljarder dollar i stora installationsprojekt eller mer än dubbelt så mycket som de 1 miljarder dollar i nya utgiftsplaner som företagen meddelade att de skulle bygga eller expandera USA solcellsfabriker för att kapitalisera på de nya importskatterna rapporter Reuters.

Skattesats på 30 procent

Tullen på 30 procent beräknas vara minst fyra år och minskar med 5 % per år. Trump meddelade ursprungligen takten i januari trots protester från det mesta av solindustrin att åtgärden skulle stifta den snabbt växande solindustrin.

Enligt Solar Energy Industries Association genomförde solutvecklare storskaliga installationer för 6,8 miljarder dollar förra året. Investeringarna drivs främst av amerikanska skatteincitament och de lägre kostnaderna för importerade paneler, vilket gjorde solenergi konkurrenskraftig jämfört fossila bränslen som naturgas och kol.

Solenergi var på väg att ta fart

”Solenergi var verkligen på väg att kunna fart,” säger Zoe Hanes, verkställande direktör för solutvecklaren Pine Gate Renewables, till Reuters.

Som svar på de nya taxorna sänkte GTM Research, ett rent energiforskningsföretag, sina prognoser för 2019 och 2020 för användning i USA, med 20% respektive 17%.

Solkraftsutvecklarprojektstarifferna kommer initialt att inskränka kostnaden för stora installationer med 10%. Flera företag drar åt svångremmen för att anpassa sig till dessa plötsliga förändringar. Till exempel, verktygsutvecklare Cypress Creek Renewables sade sig tvingade att avbryta eller frysa projekt med ett värde om 1,5 miljarder dollar. Southern Current gjorde ett liknande beslut även om deras frusna projekt hade ett lägre värde, en miljard dollar.

Crypto markets faced a volatile week as key macroeconomic events approached, with the upcoming US presidential election and anticipated Fed rate decision fueling uncertainty in risk assets. Bitcoin (BTC) rose 1.7%, ether (ETH) declined 1%, Solana (SOL) fell 8.2%, and the Nasdaq Crypto IndexTM (NCITM) was down 0.5%.


Microsoft to consider bitcoin investment starting December

According to a new SEC filing, Microsoft is considering the possibility of investing in Bitcoin as a hedge strategy against inflation despite opposition from its Board of Directors. This move, by one of the world’s largest companies, would mark a significant step in institutional adoption for Bitcoin.

MicroStrategy discloses plans to buy $42B of BTC

The firm announced bold plans to raise $42 billion over the next three years to acquire more bitcoin. This new wave of capital will be split equally, with $21 billion from equity issuance and $21 billion from debt offerings, in a project called the ”21/21” plan. This move, led by founder Michael Saylor, underscores bitcoin’s potential as a valuable hedge against inflation and highlights its appeal as a strategic investment option.

Altcoins struggle as elections loom

The fourth quarter got off to a strong start, with bitcoin (BTC) bumping up against its all-time high late in the month and the Nasdaq Crypto Index™ (NCI™) returning 7.2%.

The fourth quarter got off to a strong start, with bitcoin (BTC) bumping up against its all-time high late in the month and the Nasdaq Crypto Index™ (NCI™) returning 7.2%.

Many crypto assets, however, struggled in October as the US elections and other uncertainties cast a shadow over bullish sentiment. Our CIO, Samir Kerbage, wrote about how the November 5th elections might impact investors and also joined a webinar with the CEO of The Digital Chamber to cover this topic in more depth. You can watch a replay of the webinar here.

As always, we are greatly appreciative of your trust in us and are here to answer any questions you may have.

Market Review

October is typically a favorable month for crypto assets, particularly bitcoin (BTC). For this reason, the month is often referred to as “Uptober.” This year was no different: the Nasdaq Crypto Index™ (NCI™) posted a 7.2% gain, despite slight declines in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 stock indices. However, unlike September, the vast majority of altcoins did not have a positive month.

In the first ten days of the month, the NCI™ gave back its gains from September. All NCI™ constituents recorded declines, except for Uniswap, which announced plans to develop its own layer two network on Ethereum. From then on, a strong recovery began, particularly for Bitcoin and Solana, which were up double digits by the 29th. This rally coincided with the sharp increase in Trump’s odds in election betting markets, and brought Bitcoin close to its all-time high. In the last two days of the month, crypto assets retreated, following the strong pessimism that overtook traditional markets.

Among NCI™ constituents, the positive highlights were Bitcoin and Solana, with gains of 10.6% and 9.0%, respectively. On the downside, Ripple dropped 18.6% due to the SEC lawsuit, while MATIC fell more than 20%, apparently due to migration to a new token called POL.

Among CF Benchmarks’ sectoral indices, the smallest drop was in the Smart Contract Platforms Index, mitigated by the performance of its main constituent, Solana. A similar effect was seen in the Digital Culture index, which dropped 7.6%, despite its largest constituent, SuperVerse, rising more than 20%. The Decentralized Finance (DeFi) index declined by 8.6%, with only Uniswap showing gains among its constituents. The Vinter Hashdex Risk Parity Momentum Index saw a small drop of 0.6%, heavily influenced by the sharp losses in Ripple and Near. In all five indices, the largest asset posted gains, but most other constituents did not.

In the near future, the US election results could serve as a trigger for a new all-time high in Bitcoin, as well as a recovery for smaller assets that are lagging this year. We remain optimistic about the development of the crypto asset class over the medium and long term.
