| NASDAQ 100 +1.14% |
| Tesla managed to maintain the Nasdaq 100 uptrend. Despite the company selling 70% of its Bitcoin investments, the company financially outperformed market expectations.

| GOLD +0.56% |
| The European Central Bank raised interest rates by 50 basis points, beating market estimates by 25 basis points. Following the decision and press conference by ECB President Christine Lagarde, gold prices rebounded from USD$1,680 to USD$1,718, a rebound of 2.22%. Positions in the metal could continue as investors continue to look ahead to the Fed’s interest rate hike, which could come as early as July 27, 2022.
