The EUR/USD and GBP/USD experienced minor declines, while the USD/JPY, AUD/USD, and USD/CHF saw slight adjustments, reflecting a mixed performance across major currencies. Bitcoin notably surged over 5% to a new record high of $72,943, continuing its streak of gains amid strong investor interest.
The stock and commodities markets had a varied day, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 recording losses, whereas the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a slight gain. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield edged higher, and investors remained on alert for the upcoming U.S. inflation data. Sector-wise, materials, energy, and consumer staples saw improvements, while others dipped. Notably, Microstrategy's stock hit a record following an increase in its Bitcoin holdings, amidst a mixed performance from other major companies and movements in the natural gas sector, highlighted by EQT Corp's acquisition of Equitrans Midstream.
In the Asian session, the forex market saw the USD/JPY rising and minor adjustments in the AUD/USD and EUR/USD pairs. Gold prices saw a slight decrease, and Bitcoin's value dipped from its recent high. Looking ahead, key economic indicators such as Germany's inflation rate, the U.K. jobless rate, and the U.S. core inflation rate are anticipated, alongside the NFIB business optimism index, setting the stage for potential market shifts based on these outcomes.
