On December 27, news from 4E monitoring stated that U.S. stocks fluctuated in light trading following the Christmas holiday, as initial jobless claims were mixed, failing to change the market's bets on the Federal Reserve's policy outlook. Among the three major indices, only the Dow rose, while the S&P and Nasdaq dipped slightly. Large tech stocks only saw Apple rise, while cryptocurrency-related stocks generally fell, with MSTR down 4.78% and Coinbase down 1.86%. Battery and electronic device energy management company KULR announced it has purchased $21 million worth of Bitcoin and plans to allocate 90% of its cash to Bitcoin, causing its stock price to soar over 40%, attracting attention.
The cryptocurrency market saw a general decline. MicroStrategy announced plans to split and issue more stocks to purchase Bitcoin, pushing Bitcoin to approach the $100,000 mark early yesterday, before falling back and currently fluctuating narrowly above $96,000. Altcoins have also shown a declining pattern driven by Bitcoin. On Thursday, Bitcoin's spot ETF saw a net inflow of $419 million, reversing four consecutive days of net outflows.
In the foreign exchange commodities sector, the U.S. dollar index remained basically flat, while the settlement price of international crude oil futures dipped slightly. The escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine have sparked demand for safe-haven assets, pushing spot gold to rise over 0.8%, approaching $2,640.
Currently, the global financial market is in a period of low trading volume for the year, primarily driven by retail investors. The cryptocurrency market will see the largest number of open contracts expire in history today, which may intensify market volatility.
