The U.S. stock market experienced a significant downturn on Monday, losing approximately $1.5 trillion in market capitalization. This decline was attributed to various factors, including fears related to trade wars, with the Dow Jones dropping 972 points. In contrast, the cryptocurrency market saw an influx of $60 billion on the same day, with Bitcoin nearing $90,000, hitting a peak of $88.5K before easing, and other cryptocurrencies also rallying. This movement in the crypto market suggests a shift in investor sentiment towards digital assets during times of traditional market volatility. Gold also performed well, reaching new all-time highs, with a year-to-date increase of 26.43%. This performance contrasts sharply with major U.S. stock indices, which saw declines: the Dow Jones fell by 7.56%, the S&P 500 by 9.83%, and the Nasdaq by 15.50%.
