According to @KobeissiLetter, a market downgrade occurred just before futures closed for the weekend, leading to an immediate gap down in stock prices and a spike in bond yields. This action is not supportive of efforts to achieve lower US interest rates, a key policy aim for Trump. For crypto traders, such volatility in traditional markets often increases short-term demand for digital assets as alternative investments, and could impact Bitcoin and Ethereum price action in the coming week (source: @KobeissiLetter).
