Dow Jones
Yesterday

1246 GMT - Bitcoin and ether fall as uncertainty over the Middle East conflict dampens market sentiment with U.S. stock futures pointing to a lower open. "Bitcoin and ether continue to hold key psychological levels but sentiment across digital assets remains sensitive to macroeconomic headlines, particularly oil prices, interest-rate expectations and geopolitical developments," Saxo Bank analysts say in a note. Bitcoin remains above the key $70,000 level and ether is above $2,000 despite the pullback. Bitcoin last trades down 1.3% at $70,213, having reached a one-month high of $74,049 Wednesday, LSEG data show. Ether drops 1.4% to $2,051 after hitting a one-month high of $2,198 Wednesday.
