According to news on January 3, according to 4E monitoring, the U.S. stock market experienced a "dark start" on Thursday. After collectively opening higher and moving lower, the three major indexes ended the first trading day of the new year with a slight decline. Among them, the Dow fell 0.36%, falling for the fourth consecutive trading day, the S&P 500 fell 0.22%, and the Nasdaq fell 0.16%, both recording "five consecutive losses" on the daily line. Large technology stocks had mixed gains and losses. Tesla fell more than 6% after releasing delivery data that was worse than expected. It has fallen more than 18% in the past five trading days.
The crypto market has collectively rebounded. With the end of the Double Day holiday, funds have begun to return to the market. After Bitcoin fell below US$92,000 at the end of the year, its recent trend has gradually stabilized and has rebounded to around US$97,000, with a 24-hour increase of more than 2.1%. Market sentiment has improved and altcoins have picked up. Against the background of general gains across all sectors, the recently popular Narrative AI agent concept coin has fallen back after experiencing sharp gains for many consecutive days. The Bitcoin Spot ETF had a net inflow of US$84 million on Thursday, but BlackRock's Bitcoin Spot ETF had a net outflow of 3,412 Bitcoins yesterday, worth approximately US$330 million, which was the highest net outflow record since the ETF was created.
In terms of foreign exchange commodities, the U.S. dollar index rose more than 1% intraday on the first day of the new year, hitting a new high in more than two years, while non-U.S. currencies generally fell. Oil prices benefited from the boost in oil demand prospects, rising by more than 2.8% at the beginning of the year. As geopolitical risks intensified and policy uncertainty increased before President Trump took office, gold prices hit a new high in more than two weeks on Thursday, driven by safe-haven buying, with spot gold rising by nearly 1.4%.
The U.S. initial jobless claims data released on Thursday was better than expected, showing that the U.S. job market remains resilient. Investors have reduced their bets on the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, predicting a nearly 90% chance of not cutting interest rates in January. Next week, the United States will release important economic data such as the unemployment rate, the minutes of the Federal Reserve's December FOMC meeting, and non-farm payrolls. The market is full of uncertainty, and any negative data may trigger another market correction.
