According to market analyst at Millenium Investment Banking, Ramiro Loureiro, “Wall Street globally started at a low level, with the technology sector being the most punished. However, there is still one sector that is highly focused on – cryptocurrencies.
“This is because Bitcoin achieves a new high and exceeds $41,500, the highest value in more than a year and a half, which boosts listed companies such as Marathon Digital, Riot, Cleanspark, Coinbase or Microstrategy,” the expert explained.
On the positive side, the analyst highlights Spotify’s “continued appreciation after another job cut was revealed. Uber is excited to announce its inclusion in the S&P 500.”
“In a more visible decline, there is Virgin Galactic, whose CFO is ruling out the possibility of new investment in the commercial spaceflight company, as well as Alaska Air, in response to a proposal to take over a competitor,” highlighted Ramiro Loureiro.
