Good MorningU.S. markets opened under pressure as a technology-led pullback widened into a broader risk-off mood. Bitcoin plunged intraday and briefly dipped below $85,000, extending a roughly one-third drop since early October and stoking selling in crypto-linked names and growth stocks. NVIDIA remained among the most active names, trading higher on the tape even as many tech peers cooled.
Commodities and futures were mixed: gold climbed, while grains and lumber showed weakness, reflecting a mix of safe-haven flows and softer demand signals for raw materials. At the sector level, gambling and leisure drew attention after New York state approved three Vegas-style casino projects and Missouri launched sports betting, a move that could lift regional gaming revenue prospects and related stocks.
With valuation concerns, crypto volatility, and policy noise dominating, market participants are likely to favor headlines and data over exuberant positioning in the near term. Featured: Why your electric bill keeps climbing (Ad)
