The U.S. stock market took a hit recently, with all major indices falling sharply. The Dow dropped over 900 points, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also saw big declines. This comes amid growing concerns about rising interest rates, inflation pressures, and renewed trade tensions.
Investors are clearly nervous, shifting their money into safer assets like gold — which hit new highs — and even re-evaluating their crypto positions. Bitcoin ($BTC) saw some pullback as market uncertainty spilled over into the digital asset space.
This kind of volatility could stick around for a while. Will crypto become the hedge again, or will traditional safe havens like gold ($GOLD) continue to shine?
