Economists from Nomura and Commerzbank also consider an announcement of economic support to be imminent.<\/p>\n<p>Despite recession fears, markets remain resilient. A survey by the University of Michigan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sca.isr.umich.edu\/files\/consumptionresponse202508.pdf\">showed<\/a> that 60% of Americans expect unemployment to rise next year.

This creates room for the capitalization of altcoins to grow.<\/p>\n<p>If the PBOC takes more active measures, the additional liquidity could act as a catalyst for capital inflows into riskier assets.
