Bitcoin Edges Up 0.39% Saturday; Oil, Dollar Readings as of Sept. 25

Bitcoin edged higher on Saturday, September 26, 2026, the only major asset in this report that trades through the weekend. BTCUSD rose 0.39% to $84,416.65 from $84,093.13 on Friday, a gain of $323.52.

With commodity and currency markets in the United States closed, the most recent official readings date from Friday, September 25. The FRED daily WTI crude spot price series stood at $85.23 per barrel as of that date, and the Fed's nominal broad dollar index was 120.33.

Energy policy and corporate deals featured in Saturday headlines. CNBC reported that Trump said he approved new fuel economy standards rolling back Biden-era rules, and Reuters reported, according to its headline, that the standards end the Biden EV mandate. Reuters also reported that Saudi Aramco is working with Evercore on gas unit plans, citing Bloomberg News.

Trade relations with China were another theme. Reuters reported that China and the U.S. agreed to a $30 billion tariff cut and an AI dialogue during a visit by Xi. CNBC ran a headline saying China wants in on the U.S. AI data center boom, and Fox Business aired a segment titled "Data center CEO REVEALS MAJOR threat to America's AI BOOM."

Gold and crude futures prices were not part of the weekend data, as those markets were closed. FRED rate and currency series are likewise published for business days only, so the readings above carry Friday's date.
