Based on reports, US President Donald Trump ordered two US nuclear submarines<\/a> to new positions after former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev dismissed Trump\u2019s 10-day demand to end the Ukraine conflict.<\/p>\n

Trump wrote on Truth Social<\/a> that \u201cWords are very important and can often lead to unintended consequences.\u201d The move<\/a> pushed traders into a cautious mood, showing how a single post can shake global markets.<\/p>\n

Submarine Maneuvers Spook Traders<\/h2>\n

Investors watched closely as the submarines moved closer to regions of tension. Rather than shrugging off the news, risk assets slumped.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Dips Below $114,000 In Turbulent Trade<\/h2>\n

Based on data, Bitcoin slid<\/a> to $113,155 \u2013 its lowest level in weeks \u2013 triggering more than $200 million in liquidations of long positions following the news<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kugler had favored holding interest rates steady until there was clearer data on inflation. With her exit, Trump can pick a new governor who might support his calls for immediate rate cuts.<\/p>\n

Market Jitters Extend Beyond Crypto<\/p>\n

Gold hovered near $3,350 an ounce, but it didn\u2019t see a big safe-haven rush. Instead, money flowed into cash and short-term US Treasuries.<\/p>\n

Reports have disclosed that traders are moving to lower-risk options as global tensions and doubts about economic data pile up.<\/p>\n


\nTrump-Medvedev Spat<\/p>\n

Even with the Kremlin keeping mum, Moscow\u2019s bourse swooned sharply once Trump made his remarks.<\/p>\n

In recent days, Trump and Medvedev have been trading increasingly pointed personal digs across social media.<\/p>\n

Friday marked yet another round in Trump\u2019s back-and-forth with Medvedev. Just a day earlier, he mocked Medvedev as \u201cthe failed former president of Russia, who thinks he\u2019s still president.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bitcoin Unfazed<\/p>\n

Despite the recent slide, Bitcoin is still well above its January level and sits only 7% below its July high of $123,182. For now, investors will be watching every tweet and military move for fresh signs of the next big market swing.<\/p>\n
