Treasury markets were closed for Veterans Day, leaving traders focused on potential Federal Reserve rate cuts. Cryptocurrency stocks surged, with Bitcoin reaching over $85,000. Tesla shares also rose significantly, reflecting investor optimism about Trump's policies. Meanwhile, Asian markets saw declines, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng index dropping 1.45%.
