Live markets: Bitcoin rebounds to nearly $60,000. Kospi, Nikkei sink
Bitcoin has shown signs of recovery, trading near $60,000 after a recent dip, while major Asian stock indices like the Kospi and Nikkei experienced significant declines. The market volatility follows negative sentiment on Wall Street triggered by price hikes from major technology companies.
Why it matters
The divergence between crypto recovery and broader stock market instability reflects ongoing global economic uncertainty and investor risk aversion.
The leading cryptocurrency by market value traded at around $59,800 as of this writing, up 2.7% from the low of $58,206 hit Thursday, according to CoinDesk data. Still, prices are down over 5% this week and nearly 20% for the month.
