Nvidia’s founder is out and Nvidia opened 13.08% lower in New York, yet Samsung and SK hynix rallied in Seoul the next morning while foreign investors bought about 200 billion won of KOSPI stocks.

The Federal Reserve bitcoin price impact is easy to see: BTC is down 14.52% in 30 days to $71,113. The 10-year Treasury yield hit 5.1% on Nov. 12 (Yahoo Finance) as traders priced in more Fed rate hikes, and a safe 5.1% return pulls money away from assets that pay nothing.
How to buy Anthropic stock comes down to two routes: ask a US broker for IPO shares at $70 to $78, or buy ANT once it starts trading on Nasdaq, expected Thursday, November 19, 2026.

The bitcoin price crash took BTC below $72,000 on November 12, 2026, with an intraday low near $71,218. That’s the lowest level since August, according to CryptoTimes, and it came as US spot bitcoin ETFs bled about $1.44 billion over five straight days of outflows. Coins you hold outright aren’t in danger from the price drop itself. The real risks right now are leverage and the Fed’s December 9 decision.
Fed rate hike December odds hit 88.8% on November 11, based on CME FedWatch data cited by Investing.com. That leaves the odds with no room for a cut. The other 11.2% is a bet on a half-point hike, after October consumer prices rose 0.4% against a 0.3% forecast and Governor Christopher Waller said a 50-basis-point move “should be considered.”
