The U.S. stock market witnessed a slight dip on Tuesday as trade negotiations between Europe and the U.S. reached an impasse, prompting cautious investor behavior. The three major indices ended with minor losses: the Nasdaq fell 0.05%, the S&P 500 dropped 0.17%, and the Dow Jones lost 0.39%. Technology stocks showed a mixed performance; their index of seven major companies decreased by approximately 0.4%. Crypto markets saw a broad decline, with Bitcoin falling from $86,496 to $83,670, marking a nearly 2% drop over 24 hours. Ethereum also dropped 2.2% below $1,600. The altcoin market experienced widespread declines, with the Meme and AI sectors leading the downturn. Despite recent volatility in financial markets, Bitcoin has remained above $80,000, demonstrating considerable resilience. Meanwhile, uncertainty surrounding trade led to a rise in safe-haven assets, with gold surging 1.32% to reach $3,272. This represents an increase of over 23% year-to-date. The ongoing trade war initiated by former President Donald Trump continues to cast a shadow over the market, exacerbating concerns about a global economic slowdown, while the stalemate in U.S.-Europe negotiations has further increased market uncertainty as earnings season begins this week, potentially impacting market volatility.
