Before the opening of the U.S. stock market on August 1, three major stock index futures fell. As of 5:57 AM Eastern Time, Dow Jones futures were down 0.85%, S&P 500 futures were down 0.85%, and Nasdaq 100 futures were down 0.94%. Popular stocks generally declined, with Nvidia (NVDA) down 2.31% and Tesla (TSLA) down 1.09%.

At 8:30 PM tonight, the U.S. will release the July non-farm employment report. The market generally expects that 110,000 new jobs will be added in July, down from the previous value of 147,000. The unemployment rate is expected to rise from 4.1% to 4.2%. Analysts point out that if the non-farm data exceeds expectations, it may force the Federal Reserve to continue delaying interest rate cuts, which would benefit the U.S. dollar and negatively impact gold prices. Conversely, if the non-farm data falls short of expectations, market expectations for a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September will rise, putting pressure on the U.S. dollar and benefiting gold. Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" announced, Bitcoin falls below $115,000 The White House announced an adjusted "reciprocal tariffs" rate table, which will take effect on August 7. Market risk aversion sentiment is rising. Bitcoin briefly fell below $115,000, and as of the time of writing, it was at $115,195. Analysts indicate that BTC is currently facing dual pressures: on one hand, the risk aversion sentiment brought by tariffs, and on the other hand, profit-taking after reaching a historical high earlier this year. Apple's earnings report exceeds expectations, Amazon's performance guidance is weak Apple (AAPL) rose over 2% in pre-market trading, with the company's Q3 revenue achieving the highest growth rate in three and a half years.

Historical data shows that after experiencing a similar surge in July, August tends to become difficult.

This easing tendency continues to weigh on buying interest for the British pound
