Bitcoin rose on Thursday, approaching key levels of $100,000 as risk appetite was boosted by hopes of easing U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff agenda, following his indication of a major trade deal.

The largest cryptocurrency in the world continued its strong gains from the previous session, which were driven by the confirmation from the U.S. and China that some trade talks will take place this week.

This momentum also helped push Bitcoin past concerns about a slowdown in the U.S. economy and trade disruptions raised by the Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin rose by 2.6% to $98,868.6 by 08:28 Saudi time, having reached a high of $99,381.2.
