Crypto opens the trading day broadly lower, and the selling runs deep across the board.

Crypto

Uniswap’s UNIUSD leads the losers at -10.03%, now down 20.51% on the week. Tezos (XTZUSD) and Cardano (ADAUSD) follow, off 8.46% and 8.44%.

The weakness is wide. Bitcoin Cash fell 6.22%, Dogecoin 5.52%, The Graph 5.49%, Solana 5.46% and BNB 5.11% β€” all down more than 5% on the session. Litecoin dropped 4.76% and Stellar 4.02%, Stellar now off 10.76% over the week.

The majors held up better in relative terms. Bitcoin sits at $81,597.90, down 2.0% and 3.43% on the week; Ethereum is at $2,473.25, off 3.85%. XRP eased 3.12% to 1.3753.

Longer context is mixed: Cardano is still +10.41% and Solana +8.21% on the month, yet every covered coin remains deeply negative on the year β€” XRP at -50.94%, Dogecoin at -66.26%.

Currencies

FX is the day’s calm corner. EUR/USD is near flat at 1.12077 (+0.07%), GBP/USD at 1.32222 (+0.08%), and USD/JPY eased 0.17% to 157.83.

The standout is USD/MXN, up 1.06% to 18.165 and 7.57% higher on the month. USD/ZAR moved the other way, down 0.78% to 16.498. On the month the dollar has firmed against the Scandinavians, USD/NOK +3.83% and USD/SEK +3.79%, even as both slipped on the session.

Commodities and metals

Oil is the clearest bid on the board. UKOil rose 2.76% to 102.33 and USOil added 2.46% to 90.52; both are up more than 47% over the past year, though USOil remains 4.16% lower on the month.

Gold held firm, up 0.62% to $4,133.96, though still 5.92% lower on the month. Silver slipped 1.0% to 59.17 and is down 11.94% over 30 days. Palladium (+1.46%) and platinum (+0.46%) edged higher but carry month losses of 15.81% and 13.66%.

Indices

Equities leaned lower across Asia and Europe. The Nikkei 225 fell 2.34% to 68,207.36, trimming a year-to-date gain that still stands at 40.32%. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 1.35% to 30,766.34 and the S&P 500 eased 0.4% to 7,769.42. The DAX 40 and Euro Stoxx 50 each fell 0.54%, and the Hang Seng slipped 0.6% to 23,846.86. London bucked the trend, the FTSE 100 up 0.51% to 10,526.75 and the Dow marginally higher at 51,236.34.

Crypto remains the session’s clear weak spot as the day gets underway.
