Bitcoin Crashes 6% as S&P 500 Tops 7,600 and ECB Eyes Rate Hike

On today's episode of Market Brief – After Hours, Wall Street hit a landmark milestone as the S&P 500 closed above 7,600 for the very first time — but a violent crypto liquidation event stole the spotlight as nearly $600 million in leveraged Bitcoin positions were wiped out in 24 hours. Eurozone inflation has climbed sharply back above the ECB's target, driven by an oil shock tied to the Iran conflict, putting a rate hike this month at near-certainty. We also break down a historic 32% single-session surge in one semiconductor stock, a JOLTS report that completely blew past forecasts, and FX setups across EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, USD/JPY and AUD/USD — plus oil near $96, gold's intraday rejection, and all the key movers from today's session.
