It later slipped back below $120,000.\n\nOver the past 12 months, Bitcoin has doubled in value, outperforming gold’s 38% rise and the S&P 500’s 11% increase.\n\nOil prices dipped slightly after Donald Trump gave Russia a 50-day ultimatum to end the war in Ukraine or face 100% tariffs on its major trading partners. He also indicated he was open to further talks following his weekend threat to impose 30% tariffs on the EU and Mexico starting August 1. Japan is reportedly set to hold high-level talks with the US this Friday.\n\nDespite the tariff uncertainty, market reaction remained calm. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index (excluding Japan) rose 0.8%, while Japan’s Nikkei advanced 0.5%.\n\nOn Wall Street, the Dow Jones gained 0.2% to 44,459.65, the S&P 500 edged up 0.1% to 6,268.56, and the Nasdaq climbed 0.3% to 20,640.33.\n\nIn the bond market, the yield on 10-year US Treasury notes rose to 4.439%, up from 4.417% late Sunday."}
