Bitcoin's value dropped by over 5% to below $63,000 due to escalating tariff tensions and broader geopolitical risks. Analysts attribute the decline to 'tactical de-risking' rather than a structural exit from the cryptocurrency. The drop is part of a larger downturn that has seen Bitcoin lose 27% of its value so far this year and 50% since its peak in October last year. Experts point to Bitcoin's sensitivity to global liquidity conditions and trade policy as key factors in its volatility.

The article discusses the impact of AI fears and tariff confusion on US markets. US stocks fell on Monday due to concerns over AI's potential to disrupt the cybersecurity sector and uncertainty surrounding tariffs following a Supreme Court ruling that Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs are illegal. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was particularly affected due to its heavy weighting in IBM, which plunged nearly 13.2% after Anthropic launched Claude Code Security. Meanwhile, FedEx sued the US government seeking a refund for tariffs imposed by Trump, and OpenAI entered multiyear partnerships with four consulting firms to deploy its enterprise platform.

The article discusses the recent market sell-off triggered by the launch of Claude Code Security by Anthropic, which has raised concerns about the impact of AI on cybersecurity companies. The uncertainty around trade tariffs between the US and EU has also contributed to the market volatility. The European Union has put its trade deal with the US on hold following a Supreme Court ruling that Trump's 'reciprocal' tariffs are illegal. Despite the market downturn, Wall Street analysts suggest buying the dip, as they believe the reaction to AI's impact on cybersecurity might be overblown. The article also highlights other news, including FedEx suing the US government over tariffs, Panama annulling port contracts held by CK Hutchison, and Canva acquiring startups Cavalry and MangoAI.

European stocks are expected to open flat to higher on Tuesday as investors assess the new global trading landscape after U.S. President Donald Trump's latest tariff move. The U.K.'s FTSE index is seen opening unchanged, while Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 are expected to rise around 0.25%. European officials expressed concern over Trump's decision to introduce a new 15% global levy on imports to the U.S., signaling that it could pose a threat to its trade deals with the U.S. The European Parliament has paused work on ratifying the U.S.-EU trade deal agreed last summer. U.S. markets also reacted negatively to the tariff move, with equities tumbling on Monday. Trump continued to assert his ability to increase tariffs, warning of higher duties for countries that want to 'play games'.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon expressed anxiety over the US economy due to elevated asset prices and a competitive banking environment reminiscent of the pre-2008 crisis. Despite economists praising the Trump administration's tax and deregulatory policies for boosting economic growth, Dimon warned that the economic cycle will inevitably turn, leading to borrower defaults that could broadly affect lenders and unexpected industries. He cited concerns over private credit lenders and loans to software companies amid AI worries, drawing parallels with the 2008 financial crisis. Dimon also addressed CEO succession at JPMorgan, stating he would remain CEO for a few years and possibly serve as executive chairman thereafter.
