Your daily horoscope: February 5

                   HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY Aquarius is one of the zodiac’s fixed signs, which means you don’t change your ways often.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You must resist going to extremes over the next 24 hours, because if you allow the overly assertive side of your nature to take over you will almost certainly provoke a backlash. Venus in your sign should make it easier to avoid excessive behaviour.

Stock Market Hits Pause as Investors Eye Jobs Data; Bitcoin Surges Past $100,000

                                        

US stock futures stalled on Thursday as investors awaited fresh jobs data, causing the Nasdaq, Dow, and S&P 500 to hit a pause on their recent rallies. Meanwhile, Bitcoin continued its impressive run, surpassing the $100,000 mark.

Market Movements

  • Dow Jones Industrial Average (YM=F): Futures were little changed, signaling a pause in the record-setting rally that saw the Dow close above 45,000 for the first time.
  • S&P 500 (ES=F): Contracts hovered below the flat line, with investors counting down to Friday's monthly jobs report.
  • Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F): Also saw little movement, with futures hovering below the flat line.

Bitcoin's Surge

Bitcoin (BTC-USD) reached around $102,500 after breaking through the key $100,000 level late on Wednesday. This surge is driven by hopes for a crypto-friendly administration under President-elect Donald Trump, who nominated Paul Atkins to chair the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Economic Indicators

Investors are closely watching Friday's nonfarm payrolls report for a reality check on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's upbeat take on the US economy. A strong jobs report could impact the market's belief in a December rate cut.

Conclusion

As the stock market takes a breather, all eyes are on the upcoming jobs data and Bitcoin's continued ascent. The market's reaction to these events will be crucial in shaping investor sentiment moving forward.
