Market Snapshot (02/12/25)
💵 Dollar Index — Soft Bias Persists

• Traded flat but still leaning bearish as Fed rate-cut expectations stay high.
• U.S. manufacturing contracted for the 9th month, signaling deeper slowdown.
• Market focus shifts to Core PCE — key catalyst that may move the dollar.

🥇 Gold — 6-Week High

• Extended gains as the weaker USD boosts buying interest.
• Safe-haven demand supported by rate-cut expectations.
• Upside capped as Russia–Ukraine peace talks show early progress.

₿ Bitcoin — Sharp Selloff

• Dropped ~6%, biggest daily fall since early November.
• Hit by broad risk-off moves and MicroStrategy’s weaker 2025 outlook.
• Nearly $1B in liquidations — volatility rising, sentiment still fragile.
