Description:
Target warned of a weak near-term growth outlook as more Americans max out credit cards due to high inflation impacting household budgets. Target projected second-quarter sales to be flat to up 2% year-over-year, below analysts' estimates. One in three Americans has maxed out or is nearing the credit limit on at least one credit card. Discretionary spending will remain pressured in the short term as consumers spend cautiously, especially on non-essential items. Walmart also signaled consumers are spending more on essentials and stretching their budgets as inflation persists.

Bitcoin saw a similar price surge after the launch of its first US spot ETF in January, rising from around $42,000 to over $73,000 in two weeks. The SEC is expected to make a decision on an Ether ETF application soon, with analysts bumping the odds of approval to over 75%.
