**Quick Market Update:**

Markets declined today (Bitcoin, stocks, gold) primarily due to:

• Higher than expected U.S. inflation data (3.4%)

• Federal Reserve postponing interest rate cuts

• Weaker than expected corporate earnings results

**Upcoming Expectations:**

- The current correction is considered "healthy" if U.S. non-farm payroll (NFP) reports on Friday are positive.

- Monitoring is essential for decisions from European and Japanese central banks this week.

**Practical Advice:**

Take advantage of the pullbacks to rebalance your portfolio with a focus on defensive sectors, but wait for recovery signals first.
