July 3, 2018: Markets opened higher Tuesday but as the closing bell got nearer selling became the order of the day. Tech and financial stocks weakened while energy and telecoms added strength. Light volumes and the shortened trading day for equities also contributed to the market’s lackluster performance.

WTI crude oil for August delivery traded at $73.73 a barrel, down about 0.3% on the day. August gold traded up 1% at $1,254.30. Equities were closed lower as the Dow traded down 0.54% for the day, the S&P 500 traded down 0.49%, and the Nasdaq Composite traded down 0.86%.

Bitcoin futures (XBTN8) for July delivery traded at $6,580, down 0.7% on the CBOE after opening at $6,645 this morning. The trading range today was $6,530 to $6,660. Futures trading may be responsible for the steep decline in bitcoin prices since the beginning of this year. https://a673b.bigscoots-temp.com/banking-finance/2018/07/03/how-futures-trading-put-an-end-to-bitcoins-skyrocketing-price/
