Asia-Pacific markets mostly rose on Friday despite the plunge in all three benchmarks in the U.S. over U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff plans.In another sign of a trade war escalation, Trump threatened to enact 200% tariffs on all alcoholic products coming from the European Union in retaliation for the bloc’s 50% tariff on whiskey. Trump said he would not be changing his mind on a broader group of tariffs set to be implemented on April 2.Australia’s S&amp;P/ASX 200&nbsp;gained 0.35%, reversing course from losses in the previous session.Over in Japan, the benchmark Nikkei 225 rose 0.18% while the broader Topix index gained 0.29%.South Korea’s Kospi index lost 0.21% in choppy trade while the small-cap Kosdaq advanced by 1.72%.Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index began the day 1.1% higher while Mainland China’s CSI 300 reversed course from losses in its previous session to rise 0.97%.The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.39% to settle at 5,521.52. The index ended the day in correction, 10.1% off its record close. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 537.36 points, or 1.3%, marking its fourth day of declines and closing at 40,813.57. The Nasdaq Composite shed 1.96% with shares of Tesla and Apple lower.The disorderly rollout of Trump’s U.S. trade policy has rattled markets this month. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq are respectively on track for losses of 4.3% and 4.9% week to date. The Dow is off about 4.7% in the period, tracking for its worst week since June 2022.

Asia-Pacific markets rise despite fall in Wall Street following escalation in Trump’s tariff threats

Bitcoin just dropped 24% from its all-time high — what happens next? Analysts say BTC is “very close to its local bottom,” but could a Black Swan event send it crashing even lower?Macro turmoil shakes BitcoinBitcoin’s price has been on a bumpy stretch. After hitting an all-time high of $109,114 in January when President Donald Trump took office and established a more pro-crypto administration, the market has taken a sharp turn.As of Mar. 13, Bitcoin is sitting around $82,600, down 24% from its January peak, after plunging to a four-month low of $76,600 on Mar. 11.<img class="image_resized" style="width:75%;" src="https://infofinance-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/20250314_Nhung_gi_chung_ta_dang_thay_hien_tai_trong_giong_het_tha_8254891d20.jpg" alt="20250314 Những gì chúng ta đang thấy hiện tại trông giống hệt thá.jpg">The market is facing headwinds from multiple directions. Wall Street is leaning into risk aversion, U.S. recession fears are growing, and Trump’s new tariff policies have added uncertainty to the mix.Many investors were also disappointed by the lack of fresh BTC purchases under the Trump administration’s strategic reserve plan, which some had hoped would provide a steady buying force for Bitcoin.On the macroeconomic side, inflation data released on Mar. 12 offered a brief moment of optimism. The consumer price index rose by just 0.2% in February, slowing to an annual inflation rate of 2.8% — down from 0.5% in January. The core CPI, which strips out food and energy prices, also landed at 3.1%, its lowest level since April 2021.The market initially reacted positively to the softer CPI data. Bitcoin pushed above $84,000, and altcoins saw double-digit gains. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 also recorded slight upticks.But the optimism didn’t last. As the day progressed, BTC and equities erased most of their gains, weighed down by Trump’s tariff war escalating against major trading partners.In a dramatic move, Trump slapped a 25% tariff on steel and aluminium imports from Canada, prompting Canada to retaliate with 25% tariffs on $21 billion worth of U.S. goods.Just hours later, the EU fired back with its own $28 billion in retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, further intensifying trade tensions.These actions have put investors on edge, shifting market sentiment toward a risk-off approach, where cash and safer assets like gold and bonds become more attractive than volatile plays like Bitcoin.With all these forces at play, Bitcoin finds itself at a crossroads. Will it stabilize and gear up for another run, or are further corrections on the horizon? Let’s dig deeper.Institutional money retreatsSince Feb. 13, spot Bitcoin ETFs have been under pressure, with money flowing out at an aggressive pace. While there were a few days of net positive inflows, they were small in volume compared to the heavy outflows on most days.The worst hit came on Feb. 25, when ETFs saw their largest single-day outflow ever — over $1 billion, marking a clear risk-off sentiment among institutional investors.Despite the outflows, as of Mar. 12, BlackRock’s IBIT remains the dominant ETF in the market, holding nearly 568,000 BTC. Fidelity’s FBTC and Grayscale’s GBTC follow, managing 197,500 BTC and 196,000 BTC, respectively.Adding a political layer to the Bitcoin narrative, at least six members of President Trump’s cabinet hold Bitcoin, either directly or indirectly through ETFs.Among them, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has the largest disclosed stake, with a Bitcoin Fidelity crypto account valued between $1 million and $5 million.Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent holds between $250,001 and $500,000 worth of BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF. While Bessent has pledged to divest his holdings within 90 days, his position highlights the growing connection between Bitcoin and top-level U.S. policymakers.Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s open interest, a crucial metric showing the total value of outstanding BTC derivative contracts, has been in a downward spiral.After peaking at $70 billion on Jan. 22, following Bitcoin’s new all-time high, open interest has been on a steady decline. As BTC tumbled, OI followed, dropping to a low of $45.7 billion on Mar. 11, the same day BTC hit its four-month low.However, in the last two days, open interest has started climbing back, adding over $1 billion as of Mar. 13, in sync with BTC’s price recovery.The heavy ETF outflows and dropping open interest paint a picture of institutional hesitation and reduced speculative activity over the past few weeks.Bitcoin’s rally in January was fueled by strong ETF inflows and high-leveraged positions, but as soon as macro uncertainty and Trump’s trade war escalated, the market turned defensive.The latest open interest rebound is a potential signal that traders are cautiously re-entering long positions, but the recovery is slow. A sustained increase in both OI and ETF inflows will be critical for Bitcoin to regain momentum.History hints at a reboundBitcoin’s recent pullback from its all-time high has been sharp, but historical trends and technical indicators suggest that this could either be a temporary bottom or the beginning of a deeper correction.Technical analyst CryptoCon points out that Bitcoin has now reached historically low RSI Bollinger Band % levels, a point where BTC rarely stays for long.To break this down — Relative Strength Index measures momentum, while Bollinger Bands show volatility. When the RSI Bollinger % reaches extreme lows, it suggests that Bitcoin is at an oversold level, meaning the downside pressure is likely exhausting itself.In previous cycles, when BTC hit similar RSI Bollinger % lows, it marked a strong local bottom before the next leg up.According to CryptoCon, Bitcoin has just completed Phase 4, a part of the market cycle where price breaks past the previous all-time high—something we saw in January 2013, December 2016, and November 2020.In all three of these cycles, BTC had a correction after the breakout before rallying to a new high within the next 9 to 12 months.He believes that this market cycle is behaving exactly like March 2017, when BTC faced a deep correction but then recovered to rally further. If that’s the case, this means we are still months away from a cycle top.However, this optimistic outlook is far from universally accepted. Doctor Profit, another respected analyst, lays out two possible scenarios for BTC’s next move.In a normal market environment, BTC’s local bottom should form between $68,000 and $74,000, as confirmed by the Market Value to Realized Value indicator.The MVRV indicator measures whether Bitcoin is overvalued or undervalued by comparing the current market price to the average purchase price of all BTC in circulation.Right now, the MVRV suggests that BTC is approaching a strong bottom zone, meaning downside risk is limited unless something drastic happens.That’s where the Black Swan risk comes in. While Doctor Profit initially believed a Black Swan event was highly unlikely, recent economic shifts — such as Trump’s aggressive tariff moves, global trade war concerns, and broader recession fears — make him less certain.A severe global economic downturn, a financial crisis, or a major crypto industry collapse could push Bitcoin much lower, possibly toward $50,000. While he still leans toward the first scenario, he no longer rules out a full-blown market wipeout.The signs are mixed. Bitcoin’s historical cycles suggest this is a healthy pullback before another rally, but global conditions have rarely been this unstable.For now, investors should stay cautious, watch key support levels, and be prepared for heightened volatility.While historical data favors a recovery, markets don’t move in a vacuum, and external shocks can override even the strongest technical indicators. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.&nbsp;Cre: Crypto News

S&amp;P 500 futures ticked lower early Thursday after the index posted a winning session in what has been a rocky week.Futures tied to the broad market index dropped 0.66%, while futures linked to the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 187 points, or 0.45%. Nasdaq 100 futures declined 0.95%.<img src="https://infofinance-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/20250313_Chi_so_S_and_P_500_giam_nhe_sau_phien_phuc_hoi_giua_tuan_bien_dong_306c0a6d97.jpg" alt="20250313 Chỉ số S&amp;P 500 giảm nhẹ sau phiên phục hồi giữa tuần biến động.jpg">In extended trading, Intel popped about 10% after the company said it had appointed Lip-Bu Tan as its new CEO. Adobe slipped roughly 4% after forecasting weaker-than-expected earnings in the fiscal second quarter.In Wednesday’s regular trading, beleaguered tech stocks caught a bid as investors snapped up shares, lifting the Nasdaq Composite to a 1.2% gain and carrying the S&amp;P 500 to a 0.5% advance. The tech sector was the top performer in the session, up nearly 1.6% as Nvidia and Palantir Technologies surged. The 30-stock Dow was an outlier, however, notching a third straight losing day and falling 0.2%.February’s reading of the consumer price index, a wide-ranging measure of costs across the U.S. economy, came in softer than expected. Headline inflation rose 0.2% from the prior month and 2.8% on an annual basis.The results may have eased traders’ concerns about the direction of the economy and the impact tariffs could have on inflation. Indeed, President Donald Trump’s steel and aluminum tariffs went into effect on Wednesday, and Canada slapped a 25% retaliatory levy on more than $20 billion of U.S. goods.Though market strategists have been watching for a technical bounce after the recent sell-off, some say the latest inflation print likely isn’t enough to lead to a sizable rebound. Concerns over Trump’s trade policies remain a key hangover on investor sentiment, and they throw into question how the Federal Reserve may proceed on interest rates.“We still believe the next Fed rate move is lower, but it is hard to have high confidence with the impact of tariffs still uncertain,” said Scott Helfstein, Global X’s head of investment strategy. “The key question is whether tariffs will have a greater impact on growth or prices. In recent weeks, the rates market has signaled that weaker growth is the bigger concern with three cuts now being priced for this year.”Week to date, all three major averages are on pace for steep declines. The S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq are on track for losses of about 3%. The Dow is off 3.4% in the period, heading for its worst week since March 2023. The broad market index briefly dipped into correction territory on Tuesday, down 10% from a record set in February.A couple of key economic reports are due on Thursday, with weekly jobless claims and the February producer price index on deck.On the earnings front, Dollar General and Ulta Beauty are slated to report Thursday.

The cost of goods and services in the U.S. rose at a&nbsp;slower-than-expected pace in February, as consumers and businesses remained wary of the inflationary impact of tariffs.According to a report from the&nbsp;U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the&nbsp;Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.2% month-over-month and 2.8% year-over-year, both&nbsp;0.1 percentage points below forecasts.Excluding food and energy, the&nbsp;core CPI also rose&nbsp;0.2% on the month, falling short of economists' expectations of&nbsp;0.3%. On a year-over-year basis,&nbsp;core CPI climbed 3.1%, slightly below the&nbsp;3.2% forecast.<img src="https://infofinance-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/20250313_Tin_vui_cua_Fed_CPI_My_tang_yeu_hon_du_bao_1_e61fed880a.jpg" alt="20250313 Tin vui của Fed CPI Mỹ tăng yếu hơn dự báo 1.jpg"><img src="https://infofinance-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/20250313_Tin_vui_cua_Fed_CPI_My_tang_yeu_hon_du_bao_2_a69b0eeffa.jpg" alt="20250313 Tin vui của Fed CPI Mỹ tăng yếu hơn dự báo 2.jpg">Markets React PositivelyU.S. equity markets responded positively to the news, with&nbsp;futures gaining across the board.In February,&nbsp;housing costs rose by 0.3%, a softer increase compared to January, though still accounting for nearly half of the CPI’s monthly gain.&nbsp;Housing costs make up over one-third of the CPI basket.Food and energy indices both&nbsp;rose 0.2%. Notably,&nbsp;used car prices surged 0.9%, while apparel prices climbed 0.6%.In the food category,&nbsp;egg prices soared 10.4% from the previous month, marking a staggering 58.8% increase year-over-year. This surge pushed the broader food index, including&nbsp;meat, poultry, and fish, up&nbsp;7.7% from a year ago.&nbsp;Beef prices also rose 2.4% in February.Economic Crossroads Amid Trade TensionsThis report comes at a&nbsp;critical juncture for the U.S. economy and financial markets. Recently,&nbsp;equity markets have suffered sharp declines as President&nbsp;Donald Trump escalated trade tensions, fueling&nbsp;recession fears among investors.On March 12, Trump’s&nbsp;25% tariff on steel and aluminum took effect, prompting&nbsp;retaliatory measures from the European Union.Fed officials are&nbsp;closely monitoring these developments. Policymakers generally view&nbsp;tariffs as having a modest, one-off impact on inflation, with&nbsp;limited long-term effects on key economic indicators.However, an&nbsp;expanded trade war could alter that outlook if&nbsp;price increases become more entrenched in the economy. Markets currently&nbsp;anticipate the Fed to cut rates in May, with a total of&nbsp;75 basis points in reductions expected for 2025."The February CPI report provides further evidence of progress in core inflation, with price pressures easing following January’s strong data," said Kay Haigh, Co-Global Head of Fixed Income and Liquidity Solutions at Goldman Sachs Asset Management. "While the Fed is likely to hold rates steady at this month’s meeting, the combination of cooling inflation and growth slowdown risks suggests the central bank may need to continue its easing cycle."Fed’s Next Moves &amp; Growth OutlookThe Fed is set to meet next week and is widely expected to&nbsp;maintain its benchmark rate at 4.25%-4.5%.Meanwhile, according to the&nbsp;Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model, the&nbsp;U.S. economy could contract by 2.4% in Q1 2025, marking the&nbsp;first quarterly decline in three years.By: Vu HaoTrans: Info Finance

In September, MGX partnered with the likes of BlackRock&nbsp;and Microsoft&nbsp;to launch a more than $30 billion AI fund, but it had yet to invest in the cryptocurrency industry and blockchain sectors.&nbsp;“MGX’s investment in Binance reflects our commitment to advancing blockchain’s transformative potential for digital finance,” Ahmed Yahia, managing director and CEO at MGX, said in a statement.The press release added that “by partnering with the leading industry player, MGX aims to enable innovation at the intersection of AI, blockchain technology and finance.”Binance and MGX did not immediately comment on the size of the stake or what stablecoin would be used for the payment. Binance has not responded to an inquiry on whether the deal had been completed.As part of the UAE’s broader ambitions to become a global technology leader, it has been growing into a regional crypto hub.&nbsp;Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world, has grown its Middle East footprint as it faced regulatory hurdles and enforcement measures in other jurisdictions in recent years,&nbsp;According to the press release, Binance employs approximately 1,000 of its roughly 5,000 global workforce in the UAE.

The&nbsp;S&amp;P 500 slid in a head-spinning session for traders as they grappled with new tariffs proposed by&nbsp;President Donald Trump that were in flux throughout most of Tuesday. The trade policy uncertainty has brought the benchmark to the brink of a&nbsp;correction, which is defined as a decline of&nbsp;10% from its high.The&nbsp;S&amp;P 500 ended the session&nbsp;0.76% lower, falling to&nbsp;5,572.07. At its low of Tuesday’s session, the index was&nbsp;10% below its record close. The&nbsp;Dow Jones Industrial Average lost&nbsp;478.23 points, or&nbsp;1.14%, to close at&nbsp;41,433.48. The&nbsp;Nasdaq Composite slipped&nbsp;0.18%, closing at&nbsp;17,436.10.Market Turmoil Over Tariff UncertaintyThe&nbsp;S&amp;P 500 was in the green at one point during the trading session before&nbsp;Trump declared on Truth Social that Canadian steel and aluminum duties would double to&nbsp;50% from 25%, effective Wednesday.

However, the&nbsp;25% duty that was originally planned would still take effect.This is the&nbsp;latest in a series of disorderly trade policy moves that have rattled&nbsp;corporate and consumer confidence, weighing on markets over the past&nbsp;three weeks.Market Sell-Off and Investor SentimentOn Monday, the&nbsp;Nasdaq experienced its worst day since September 2022, dropping&nbsp;4%. The&nbsp;30-stock Dow fell nearly 900 points.Citigroup this week&nbsp;lowered its rating on&nbsp;U.S. stocks from&nbsp;overweight to&nbsp;neutral, citing a&nbsp;“pause in U.S. exceptionalism” as the primary reason.“There’s clearly a tolerance for pain on the part of the administration in pursuit of trade goals that are not necessarily entirely economic in nature,” said&nbsp;Ross Mayfield, Baird investment strategist.&nbsp;“At this point, I’m still in the camp that we’re not on the doorstep of a recession, but maybe a slowdown or growth scare. Non-recession sell-offs tend to be shorter and milder than the recessionary ones.”Recession Fears MountingDelta Air Lines added to recession concerns Tuesday as the airline&nbsp;slashed its earnings outlook due to&nbsp;weaker U.S. demand, causing its stock to drop&nbsp;7.3%. Other&nbsp;travel-related stocks followed suit, with&nbsp;Disney and&nbsp;Airbnb both falling&nbsp;5%.Trump Dismisses Market ConcernsAlong with haphazard tariff moves, comments from the administration in recent days have&nbsp;stoked investors’ fears about the economy. On Tuesday,&nbsp;Trump appeared unconcerned by the recent market sell-off.“Markets are going to go up and they’re going to go down but, you know what, we have to rebuild our country,” Trump said when asked about the stock market, according to the&nbsp;White House pool report.Investors Await CPI DataInvestors are&nbsp;eagerly anticipating the release of&nbsp;February’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) due Wednesday.“It’ll be really important that we don’t see an upside surprise on CPI because at this point, the Fed does have plenty of dry powder to step in to cut rates and try to boost demand if the economy were to meaningfully slow,” Mayfield added.&nbsp;“But they can only really do that if they feel that inflation expectations and inflation are well anchored.”With market volatility remaining high, all eyes will be on&nbsp;key economic indicators and further trade developments in the coming days.Cre: CNBC

Ethereum remains under selling pressure, struggling to reclaim the key $2,300 resistance level. Technical indicators still suggest a bearish trend, with BBTrend showing signs of improvement but remaining negative, indicating that bullish momentum has yet to fully develop.At the same time, the number of Ethereum whales has seen a slight uptick, possibly in response to the White House Crypto Summit, as investors anticipate regulatory shifts or the potential inclusion of ETH in the U.S. strategic crypto reserves. For Ethereum to shift into an uptrend, it must break key resistance levels and sustain strong buying pressure.BBTrend Indicates Uptrend Has Yet to FormEthereum’s BBTrend has improved to -2.6 from -5.12 just a day ago. BBTrend, short for Bollinger Band Trend, is a technical indicator used to assess price trends and momentum by measuring price deviations from the moving average.A deeply negative BBTrend suggests strong bearish momentum, while a positive reading signals increasing bullish strength.For Ethereum to gain upward momentum, BBTrend needs to break above 0 and push into higher levels. Two days ago, it briefly turned positive, reaching 1.98 before reversing downward, signaling weak buying pressure.If BBTrend can surpass its previous high and maintain positive territory, it would confirm stronger momentum, increasing the likelihood of Ethereum sustaining a bullish trend.Whale Accumulation Increases, But Overall Trend Remains BearishThe number of Ethereum whales—addresses holding at least 1,000 ETH—has risen slightly to 5,768 from 5,762 on March 5. However, the overall trend remains downward, as there were 5,828 whale addresses on February 22.Tracking large investors is crucial, as whale activity often signals shifts in market sentiment. Accumulation typically reflects confidence in price appreciation, whereas distribution suggests potential selling pressure.The recent uptick in whale numbers may be linked to the White House Crypto Summit, with large investors positioning themselves ahead of potential regulatory developments and the possibility of ETH being added to the U.S. strategic crypto reserves.If whale accumulation continues to rise, it could indicate renewed confidence in Ethereum’s long-term outlook. However, for a stronger bullish case, sustained accumulation is needed to reverse the recent downward trend.Could the White House Crypto Summit Benefit Ethereum?Ethereum has struggled to reclaim the $2,300 level in recent days. Its EMA indicators still point to a bearish trend, with short-term moving averages remaining below long-term ones.If selling pressure intensifies, Ethereum could test support at $2,077, and a break below this level could push it further down to $1,996, reinforcing the bearish outlook.On the flip side, if Ethereum reverses course, it could challenge resistance at $2,550 and potentially climb to $2,855.A strong breakout above these levels could pave the way for ETH to reclaim the $3,000 mark, a level not seen since February 1, 2025, signaling renewed bullish momentum.

Ethereum remains under selling pressure, struggling to reclaim the key $2,300 resistance level. Technical indicators still suggest a bearish trend, with BBTrend showing signs of improvement but remaining negative, indicating that bullish momentum has yet to fully develop.

Key Considerations for Online Financial Investment: Insights from InfoFinanceIn the fast-moving stock market, access to accurate and timely information on trading platforms is crucial for investors conducting research and making informed decisions. InfoFinance, a trusted financial information provider in Vietnam, has identified three essential aspects investors should consider when engaging in online financial investments, particularly in international markets.Understanding Investment RisksInvesting in financial markets, especially through online platforms, comes with inherent risks. Before making any commitments, investors must be aware of potential pitfalls and assess their ability to tolerate risk.Market risk remains one of the most significant concerns, as asset prices—including stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies—are highly volatile. Sudden fluctuations can significantly impact the value of an investor's holdings. Liquidity risk is another factor, where certain assets may become difficult to sell quickly, particularly during periods of market instability, limiting investors' ability to access their capital when needed.<img src="https://infofinance-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/unnamed_22_490ce02c71.png" alt="unnamed (22).png">Additionally, technology-related risks can arise due to system failures, network disruptions, or software issues, potentially leading to transaction errors or financial losses. Regulatory risk is also a factor, as government policies and changes in exchange regulations can directly influence investment activities.To mitigate these risks, investors are advised to stay informed about market trends. InfoFinance provides up-to-date financial news to help investors navigate market volatility effectively.Selecting a Reliable Trading PlatformThe choice of trading platform is a critical factor in investment success. A reputable exchange ensures security, fair trading conditions, and regulatory compliance. InfoFinance has outlined key criteria for evaluating trading platforms before investors open accounts and conduct transactions.Regulatory compliance is a fundamental requirement. A trustworthy trading platform must be licensed by relevant authorities, ensuring its operations comply with legal standards. Investors are also encouraged to review the platform’s reputation by assessing its operational history, customer base, and user feedback. InfoFinance provides independent reviews and analysis of various trading platforms to help investors avoid fraudulent or unreliable options.<img src="https://infofinance-prod.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/unnamed_6bd3eae6f1.jpg" alt="unnamed.jpg">Security measures should be a top priority. A reliable platform must have strong protective mechanisms in place, such as data encryption and two-factor authentication (2FA), to safeguard investor funds and personal information.Liquidity and transparency are equally important. Platforms should allow for seamless withdrawals and deposits while maintaining competitive and transparent transaction fees. High market liquidity ensures that investors can execute trades efficiently without significant price discrepancies.To assist investors in selecting a trustworthy exchange, InfoFinance has compiled a ranking of the most reputable trading platforms, available in its Exchange Section. Additionally, the platform offers an Exchange Lookup Tool, allowing investors to verify and compare trading platforms conveniently.Developing a Sound Investment StrategyOnline financial investment requires a well-structured strategy tailored to an investor’s financial goals, risk tolerance, and market conditions. Establishing clear objectives—such as capital appreciation, passive income generation, or capital preservation—helps investors align their decision-making with long-term financial targets.Diversification is a key principle in risk management. Investors are advised not to allocate all their funds into a single asset class. Instead, spreading investments across various assets such as stocks, bonds, cryptocurrencies, and real estate can help minimize overall risk exposure.Risk management strategies should be put in place, including setting stop-loss levels and implementing appropriate capital allocation techniques to protect investments from excessive losses. Continuous monitoring of market trends and portfolio performance is essential, allowing investors to adjust their strategies as needed to stay aligned with their objectives.InfoFinance’s Exchange Lookup Tool Supports Investment DecisionsTo enhance investment decision-making, InfoFinance provides an Exchange Lookup Tool that enables investors to access and verify critical information about various trading platforms. This tool allows investors to compare exchanges and assess their suitability based on individual investment strategies.By leveraging this tool, investors can streamline their research process, identify reputable trading platforms, and make more informed financial decisions.For further information, investors can contact InfoFinance via hotline or visit the official website.Hotline: 0904 096 829 / 0969 116 052 Website: <a href="https://infofinance.com/">https://infofinance.com/</a>
