The move, which happened around 6:27 a.m. ET, was the first time bitcoin fell below $70,000 since November 2024. Bitcoin bounced off that low and was trading at around 70,453.68 at 6:40 a.m. ET, according to CoinMetrics data. Some market watchers have suggested $70,000 is a key level to watch and a break below that could trigger more falls for bitcoin.

Meanwhile, precious metals continue to be volatile with silver plunging again on Thursday and gold under pressure. Liquidations — when traders' positions are automatically sold as bitcoin hits a certain price — continue to weigh on markets.

Indian police said on Thursday an investigation had been launched into the suspected suicide of three young sisters over concerns that they were heavily “influenced” by games and films online that they were later denied access to. Local media reported the sisters, aged 12, 14 and 16, had jumped from their home on Wednesday in the city of Ghaziabad on the outskirts of the country’s capital. Concern among experts and regulators has grown in recent years that too much screen time and addictive algorithms are harming child development, sparking authorities, including in India, to push for social media bans for children and teens. Advertisement “[An] investigation is under way based on the suicide note and their phones,” Nimish Patil, a senior police official, said on Thursday. Police in India routinely investigate the factors leading up to suspected suicides.

A federal judge has ruled that Elon Musk must sit for a deposition to answer questions about his role in dismantling USAID, rejecting his legal team's attempt to avoid questioning under the apex doctrine. Musk Deposition Ordered By Federal Judge On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang issued an eight-page order requiring Musk, along with former acting USAID director Peter Marocco and State Department official Jeremy Lewin, to be deposed, reported Business Insider. Musk's attorneys had argued that as a high-ranking official, he could skip a deposition under the apex doctrine, but the judge disagreed. USAID Staff Cuts Under Scrutiny Chuang noted that it was unclear whether Musk and the others were "properly deemed to be high-ranking government officials" during the period when USAID was dismantled. He added that they failed to provide evidence explaining why the agency's headquarters and website were shut down. The lawsuit, filed by anonymous current and former USAID employees, challenges the decisions made by Musk and DOGE officials, the initiative responsible for the cuts. Other defendants include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, State Department official Kenneth Jackson, and DOGE administrator Amy Gleason. Musk’s Legal, Ukraine Starlink Controversies Altman defended the nonprofit structure and reminded Musk he had once suggested Tesla take over OpenAI. Musk later shared a summary of Ilya Sutskever's October 2025 deposition, alleging Altman created executive divisions and failed to dismiss key researchers, highlighting preexisting leadership rifts. At the same time, USAID faced criticism for failing to monitor 5,175 Starlink terminals sent to Ukraine. An internal report found nearly half ended up in Russian-controlled areas. The agency accepted higher misuse risks due to wartime conditions but failed to fully mitigate them. USAID partnered with SpaceX to deliver 1,508 purchased and 3,667 donated terminals, though the report did not examine whether they were u...

STORY: World stocks dropped again on Thursday (February 5) as they struggled to shake off a tech rout. Asian markets slumped, although European bourses saw a relatively level start. The region's tech stocks bounced roughly 2% following a 7% fall over the last two sessions. Investors have grown concerned about the rising costs of the AI boom for tech companies. Google-parent Alphabet shocked markets Wednesday with a capex spending plan of as much as $185 billion this year. That was 55% more than analysts expected. The update sent its shares down over 6% for a while. It also followed a 17% plunge in chipmaker AMD's stock to continue a massive tech selloff. It's wiped out almost $850 billion of market value this month. Investors will look out for further earnings from tech giant Amazon later Thursday While Europe also gets ready for a busy day of central bank meetings. Both the European Central Bank and Bank of England are expected to hold their rates steady. Elsewhere, precious metals also dived on Thursday to end two days of gains after last week's huge declines. Silver endured a 14% crash in the metals markets before scaling back somewhat. Gold was also down around 1.5%.

By Mike Dolan Feb 5 - What matters in U.S. and global markets today By Mike Dolan, Editor-At-Large, Finance and Markets Tech sector anxiety spread well beyond the battered software sector overnight, with chipmakers and mega-caps drawn into the slipstream of the latest bruising selloff. Advanced Micro Device’s 17% plunge took centre stage along with a 12% drop in Palantir shares. Alphabet's astonishing plan to double its capex spending this year - more than 50% above what analysts had expected - led to steep early losses that, while eventually pared back, still left the Google-parent in the red ahead of Thursday's open. I’ll get into that and more below. But first, check out my latest column on why the Federal Reserve may soon find it impossible to justify further rate cuts. And listen to the latest episode of the Morning Bid daily podcast. Subscribe to hear Reuters journalists discuss the biggest news in markets and finance seven days a week. SELLING BEGETS SELLING The week's full tableau suggests investors no longer see AI development and disruption as automatically positive for broad index investors. The technology’s threat to existing businesses has wiped almost $1 trillion off the value of the software sector in just one week. And when anxiety is high, selling sometimes begets selling. Heavy losses for AMD and Wall Street chipmaker indexes yesterday ripped through Asia markets overnight, and even South Korea's high-flying Kospi recoiled almost 4%. This wild volatility extended beyond equity markets, with bitcoin lunging close to $70,000 for the first time since the 2024 U.S. election, leaving it down more than 40% from last October's peaks. Precious metals also continued to swing violently, with silver falling up to 17% at one point overnight and still down 10% on the day. The mood in the equities market seems a little calmer heading into Thursday's bell, however, with Nasdaq and S&P 500 futures flat so far today. Investors will get Amazon's earnings after...
