Fact Check
Multiple authoritative and highly relevant reports from Nasdaq.com confirm that Nasdaq 100 futures declined on the referenced day, with magnitudes ranging around 0.4% to 1%. Meanwhile, Yahoo Finance specifically reported both Nasdaq 100 futures falling close to 1% and Bitcoin dropping below $65,000 amid geopolitical tensions, directly matching both parts of the statement. The Nasdaq reports corroborate a general downturn in futures and risk assets, consistent with the Yahoo Finance data. No primary sources contradict these figures or imply opposite movements. Given the convergence of independent authoritative financial outlets on the same trend and scale of change, the statement is highly likely to be true. The small variance in the exact percentage decline of Nasdaq 100 futures (0.4%–1%) introduces only minor uncertainty, not enough to significantly detract from truth probability.
