πŸ”Ž Deep Dive: Gold & Banking Stress

The day is polarized: the strong safe-haven demand for Gold ($GLD) is the dominant theme, hitting new all-time highs due to persistent US regional bank stress. While European markets, specifically $BBVA.MC, show resilience and an isolated uptrend, the US futures and Italian financial stocks are struggling. The overall takeaway is a heightened sense of systemic risk, forcing investors into traditional havens while penalizing US high-beta stocks. The strength of $NVDA remains a key structural theme resisting the general decline.

Great thing you single out $NVDA as showing very strong hold amongst other stocks, and reaon is not far fetched, they keep delivering everytime in partnerships and product release. Been consistently longing tokenized $NVDA on Bitget and I havent gone wrong in any, plus those trades earn good rewards for more trades like the $100 usdt voucher for trades on these any pair of my choice like $NVDA, $TSLA,$GOOGL etc
