4E: "Tariff Delay" Fake News Triggers Wild Fluctuations in US Stocks, Nasdaq Closes Higher, Crypto Market Bounces Back
ChainCatcher news reports that according to 4E monitoring, U.S. stocks opened sharply lower on Monday. During the day, influenced by false news about "tariff delays," the indices fluctuated widely, with the Nasdaq experiencing a maximum amplitude of nearly 10%. U.S. stocks briefly turned positive, but fell again after the news was debunked. Before the market closed, Trump stated that he was not considering suspending the tariff increases and mentioned that multiple countries were coming to negotiate with the U.S. By the close, the three major indices showed mixed results: the Dow fell by 0.91%; the S&P 500 dropped by 0.23%; the Nasdaq narrowly rose by 0.10%, ending a two-day decline. The index of the seven major U.S. tech stocks rose by about 0.2%.The cryptocurrency market rebounded, with Bitcoin leading the decline in the Asian session yesterday, hitting a low of $74,508. In the evening, rumors of a "90-day tariff delay" drove BTC to rapidly break through $81,000, but it fell back after the news was debunked. As of the deadline, Bitcoin was fluctuating above $80,000, up 2.8% in 24 hours, while other altcoins generally saw significant rebounds. In the midst of the market's violent fluctuations, ETH performed particularly weakly, dropping to $1,411 yesterday, leading in decline and hitting a one-year low in market capitalization share. In the current rebound, its increase is also significantly lagging, deepening market concerns about its long-term competitiveness.In the forex and commodities sector, the U.S. dollar index rose by 0.29%, while recession expectations pushed crude oil to a three-day decline, dropping over 2% and hitting a new low in more than three years. Spot gold fell by 1.76%, showing a trend of rising and then falling throughout the day, mostly in a downward state.Trump's tariff policy has triggered a global chain reaction of countermeasures, causing turmoil in the financial markets. Investors are hoping that the Federal Reserve can step in to stabilize the market, but with current inflation pressures being significant, the likelihood of the Fed intervening urgently in the short term is low unless the market or economy falls into a severe crisis.
