#BTCBreaks99K O bitcoin (BTC) jumped between the night of last Wednesday (7) and the morning of this Thursday (8), approaching the psychological level of US$ 100 thousand. The optimism spread to the performance of the largest cryptocurrencies in the world, which are also rising today.

In the traditional market, Asian indices closed the day with gains, while European stocks and Wall Street futures are also trading higher this morning.

The optimism in risk asset markets gained strength mainly due to the announcement by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, last night about a relief regarding the trade war.

Although the official announcement is scheduled for 11 AM (Brasília time), there are media speculations that the United Kingdom is the country involved, as it is subject to the minimum tariff of 10% imposed by the US.

Additionally, the expectation of negotiations between China and the United States in Switzerland over the weekend also contributes to the market relief.
