US Stocks Falter, Bonds, Dollar Gain, While Bitcoin Soars Past $43,000 On Rising Institutional Interest: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
US stocks showed weakness on Tuesday, with the S&P 500, Dow Industrials, and Russell 2000 indices closing lower, while the Nasdaq 100 remained flat. Moody's downgrade of China's credit outlook and mixed economic data influenced market sentiment. The dollar and U.S. Treasuries, particularly the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT), gained. Gold and silver prices dropped. Bitcoin surged on rumors of a potential investment by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund. Technology and consumer discretionary sectors outperformed, while materials and energy sectors lagged. Gamestop (GME) and Albemarle Corp. (ALB) stocks fell, while GitLab (GTLB) and Robinhood (HOOD) rose.
