During the past weekend over the last two days, Bitcoin traders were surprised by a significant downward movement that brought the price of Bitcoin to levels around $24,000. Historically, it's unusual for Bitcoin or cryptocurrency currencies to experience price fluctuations of around 10% within just two or three days. The recent drop of 11.4% from $29,340 to $24,980 between August 15th and August 20th caught many off-guard and led to the largest liquidation in the cryptocurrency market since the FTX crash in November 2022. So, was this violent drop significant in terms of reshaping the cryptocurrency market?
· Today's market analysis on behalf of Samer Hasn Market Analyst and part of the Research Team at XS.com
Gold prices continue to decline in the second session this week, reaching the level of $1904 an ounce, at around 9:00 GMT today. This continuous pressure on gold comes with the strength of the US dollar and the rise in US Treasury yields. The US dollar is gaining more strength this week as well, as it is a safe-haven currency. This is especially after the influx of more negative data from the Chinese economy at dawn today, which comes after a previous series of disappointing data, which in turn comes within a turmoil in the Chinese real estate sector and a growth slowdown.

· An elderly runner from northeast China fulfilled his late wife's wish to keep running
BEIJING (Xinhua) -- Slim, wearing a worn-out cotton jacket under the sizzling sun, an elderly runner caught everyone's attention at a marathon held in May in Changchun, northeast China's Jilin Province. Xi Zhanyu, who is approaching 70, has kept the old jacket with him through thick and thin for seven years. "This was my wife's jacket when she was alive, and I want to run with her," Xi explained. After his wife Xia Shuyun passed away in 2016, Xi wore the jacket every time he ran a marathon. Sports form a link between Xi and Xia. The sports-loving man financed the first local games in his small village in 1988. In a video of the opening ceremony of that games, Xia spoke but failed to finish a sentence, then she shyly hid behind Xi, and the then-32-year-old Xi smiled and took over the microphone, announcing the games open.

Will the controversial Vilnius-Beijing-Taipei triangle become a square that includes Brussels? It is known that recently Lithuania has promoted unusual diplomatic actions that have significantly affected the normality of its relations with the People's Republic of China. It is also known that Taiwan is a sensitive matter that must be handled with special care and within the framework of the recognition of the principle of one China - a keystone that precedes the establishment of normalized diplomatic relations. That Vilnius has promoted a different approach in its relationship with Taipei, ignoring Beijing's requirements is not only a problem in its relations with China, Lithuania's viewpoint also takes it away from the majority position in the European Union.

In our latest insight piece, we examine the likely impact of Russia’s decision to suspend gas supplies via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. In early September, Russia announced that it would keep the Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline to the EU closed until sanctions are lifted. As the lifting of sanctions appears off the table, this implies that the EU will be without a large chunk of Russian gas supply this winter. The impact on the EU economy will be twofold. First, Russia’s decision will keep gas prices high in the coming months—prices are currently around four times higher than a year ago—and likely weigh on the euro, dampening households’ purchasing power and consumption. Second, the move raises the risk of energy rationing this winter, which could have a significant impact on industrial output.
