Wall Street continued the upward momentum from October, sustaining gains on the first trading day of November amid the ongoing strength in artificial intelligence trades. However, the cryptocurrency market fell by 4.29%, with the total market capitalization retreating to $3.54 trillion. Bitcoin’s dominance reached 60.25%, as investors shifted to safe-haven assets amid whale sell-offs and DeFi security concerns. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped from a low of 110K to above 105K on Monday, while other major cryptocurrencies saw even steeper declines: Ethereum (ETH) fell over 7% yesterday, XRP and BNB dropped over 8%, and SOL plunged more than 10%. Network-wide liquidations approached $1.3 billion.
November Starts on a Positive Note, with AI Stocks Continuing to Lead the Rally
Microsoft announced on Monday that it has obtained an export license from the Trump administration, allowing it to export Nvidia chips to the United Arab Emirates. Following the announcement, Nvidia’s stock price continued to rise, prompting investors to further flock to the artificial intelligence trading sector. OpenAI signed a $38 billion deal with Amazon and will immediately begin using Nvidia’s graphics processing units, leading Amazon’s stock to close up 4% on Monday, hitting a new all-time high.
Wall Street stocks just concluded the first trading day of November, extending the gains from October. These increases were partly fueled by the sustained strong momentum in artificial intelligence trades, as well as signs of easing tensions in U.S.-China trade relations.
