In contrast, GBTC reported approximately $71 million in net outflows on Thursday. The fund’s total loss after its ETF conversion exceeded $19 billion.

Ford Publicly Hits Back at US Secretary of Transportation, US Auto Industry "Fighting to Preserve Electric Vehicles"
The U.S. Secretary of Transportation is pressuring to cut off cooperation with Chinese companies such as CATL. Ford criticized Secretary Buttigieg for "overstepping" and being "factually incorrect," citing positive statements from the White House and the Department of Commerce as evidence that Buttigieg does not represent the official government position.

Analysts noted that the combination of a stronger yen and rising US Treasury yields is simultaneously impacting carry trades and stock valuations, posing a dual threat to the US stock market bull run. This is described as "the greatest risk facing the bull market."

Goldman Sachs pointed out that a technical breakout in the storage sector, combined with low hedge fund positions, has shifted the "pain trade" direction upward. However, on the same day, the CEO of Kioxia poured cold water on the rally, stating bluntly that NAND "prices have risen enough."
