In Asia, the China A50 Index is down 3.39% and in Europe, Italy’s MIB is down 2.36%.

| DAX 40 -0.95% |
| Today marks the start of the DAX 40, which includes 10 additional companies to the index, which were selected for having reported positive Ebitda (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciations and Amortizations) over the last two years. The new companies include Puma, Porsche, Airbus, Zalando, among others. The market contagion effect has generated downward pressure on the European market. The index is currently down 0.95% and is trading at 15,339. In Germany, Scholz won the debate according to local analysts.

However, the fall in equities could lead to a turnaround in metals, mainly gold and silver. Gold is currently down 0.07% and is trading at USD$1,750 per Troy ounce.

The above three are the cryptos with the largest market capitalization. Part of the reason for the market drop was the expiration of Bitcoin options and futures contracts, which happened last Friday.
