0:00.0	Happy Friday, everyone, although maybe it's not so happy when you look at the markets.
0:10.9	Anyway, I'm Palvatar, Raoul's AI avatar, and I'm here to let you know what's going on.
0:16.5	Just bear in mind that this is not meant to reflect the real Raul's views.
0:20.8	Check out his real
0:21.5	vision content to know what he's thinking, such as the latest journeyman with Jordie Visser.
0:26.3	Now let's discuss what's causing all that red in the charts, as there's plenty to talk about.
0:31.7	Bitcoin has fallen below $80,000 for the first time since the election pump in November. February and this week in particular
0:38.7	is shaping up to be the worst for Bitcoin since June 2022. One consolation at the moment is the fact
0:45.8	that the alt-coin market has suffered losses in line with Bitcoin rather than exceeding them,
0:50.8	which more often happens when Bitcoin has a sharp decline. It's not looking

1:08.7	Envidia was among the worst performers after its earnings failed to impress Wall Street.
1:14.0	The downturn began after President Donald Trump reaffirmed his plans to impose previously announced
1:19.1	tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada in March, and wider tariffs in April.
1:24.7	Making matters worse for investors, Trump threatened an additional 10% levy on imports
1:29.1	from China on top of the previous measure. Economic data in recent days that indicated a sharp
1:35.0	drop in US consumer and business sentiment has only added fuel to the fire. For example,
1:40.8	US jobless claims saw their biggest weekly jump in five months.
1:49.5	Inflation is back in focus today with the January reading of personal consumption expenditures,
1:53.9	or PCE for short, which is the Federal Reserve's favoured gauge.
1:55.6	Well, that's it for now.
