Major semiconductor manufacturers faced substantial selling pressure on Monday after industry executives warned about the rapid pace and associated risks of artificial intelligence development. Shares of Nvidia slipped by more than 3%, while AMD, Intel, and Marvell recorded declines between 5% and 6%, dragging the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index down nearly 6% during intraday trading.

Energy markets experienced significant turbulence as Brent crude surpassed $108 per barrel. The price surge followed strikes on Saudi Arabian energy infrastructure that forced the temporary shutdown of the East-West pipeline, a conduit handling around 4 million barrels per day destined for Red Sea export terminals. These supply disruptions, paired with strengthening expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate increase, have created a demanding macroeconomic environment for Bitcoin.
