💻 U.S. markets continued their correction trend, dragged by weakness in the tech sector. The Nasdaq fell 1.9%.
₿ Bitcoin (BTC) is slightly lower at $102,200, still above 100k, +9.53% YTD but −15.79% over the past month.
Bitcoin’s volatility remains very high — it can experience double-digit swings in short periods. For this reason, it should represent only a small, speculative portion of a diversified portfolio, and never a core holding for long-term investors.
When global bond yields stabilize — the US10Y at 4.10%, IT10Y at 3.42%, and DE10Y at 2.66% — it suggests the market expects central banks to stay cautious. Stable yields mean borrowing costs are not rising, which supports consumers and businesses, but inflation risks remain.
💡 And this is where financial education becomes crucial. Understanding how rates, currencies, and commodities interact in the global economy helps us manage money wisely — focusing on long-term stability rather than reacting to short-term volatility.
