Wall Street Futures Climb on Fed Cut Hopes as Bitcoin Extends Steep Decline

US markets staged a rebound Friday morning, with futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all moving higher after a turbulent week. The rally was fueled by growing bets that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates at its upcoming December meeting, following dovish comments from New York Fed President John Williams. His remarks shifted sentiment sharply, with nearly 70% of traders now expecting a rate cut. Dow futures gained 0.7% , leading the advance. S&P 500 futures rose 0.5% , while Nasdaq futures added 0.4% . The optimism comes after Thursday’s sharp sell-off, underscoring the volatility gripping markets as investors weigh AI-driven risks and Fed policy divisions. Meanwhile, cryptocurrencies continued to struggle. Bitcoin plunged to around $82,000 , marking its worst month since the 2022 crypto collapse. The decline reflects heavy institutional outflows, miner sell-offs, and broader risk-off sentiment across digital assets.

Death and Fear: Chaos Unleashed in Moscow Concert Attack

 

In a horrifying turn of events, the Crocus City Hall near Moscow became a scene of terror as four armed assailants calmly approached the metal detectors. Their automatic weapons erupted in short bursts, sending terrified civilians sprawling to the ground in a hail of bullets. The once-celebratory atmosphere turned into a nightmare.

Witnesses recount the chaos. Natalya, standing in line to enter the 6,200-seat concert hall, had just removed her coat. Suddenly, shots rang out from behind, loud and jarring. “It was like a firecracker blast,” she recalls, “but with an automatic burst. I could hear it right behind me.” The Soviet-era rock group “Picnic” was scheduled to perform their hit song “Afraid of Nothing,” but fear replaced anticipation as the gunmen unleashed hell upon the unsuspecting crowd.

Smoke and flames engulfed the venue, and emergency services rushed to the scene. The aftermath left a makeshift memorial, flowers, and candles in memory of the victims. The tragedy reverberated far beyond Moscow, touching hearts across the world.

As investigators piece together the motives behind this senseless attack, one thing remains clear: death and fear have forever scarred the memories of those who witnessed the horror at Crocus City Hall.
