Nasdaq and Bitcoin Remain in Demand As They Push to Another Record High
Today US stock markets closed mixed, with Nasdaq continuing the bullish momentum to a new record high, as did Bitcoin which climbed away from the $100K level.
The US market displayed a mixed picture today, with the Nasdaq achieving a record 2.5% gain while the Dow Jones fell for the eighth consecutive session. On the economic front, President-elect Trump announced a $100 billion investment commitment by SoftBank to create 100,000 jobs, which buoyed US equities, particularly in the technology sector.
PMI data revealed a nuanced picture: the Services PMI hit a 38-month high of 58.5 points, underscoring strength in the services sector, while inflation pressures in this area eased to a 4.5-year low, signaling some relief on pricing pressures.
