NEW YORK/SINGAPORE/LONDON (Reuters) -Bitcoin was set for its biggest weekly fall in nearly a year on Friday, as traders fretted over the likely dumping of tokens from defunct Japanese exchange Mt. Gox and further selling by leveraged players after the cryptocurrency's strong run. The price of the world's largest cryptocurrency slid as much as 8% on the day to $53,523, its lowest since late February. Media reports said Mt. Gox, the world's leading exchange for cryptocurrencies before it collapsed a decade ago, may start returning bitcoin to creditors, who are seen as likely sellers since the token's worth was only hundreds of dollars in 2014.

China's central bank has hundreds of billions of yuan worth of bonds at its disposal to borrow, and will sell them depending on market conditions, the bank told Reuters on Friday, part of a plan markets see as an effort to cool a powerful bond rally. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) will borrow the medium- and long-term bonds on an open-ended unsecured basis and sell them depending on market conditions, as it has signed agreements with several major financial institutions regarding bond borrowing, according to the bank. The official remarks come at a time China's sovereign bonds have performed strongly this year, with yields hitting record lows, as a wobbly economy and volatile stock markets pushed savers into fixed-income safe haven investments.
The recently retired CEO of semiconductor equipment maker ASML said in an interview with Dutch radio station BNR on Saturday that U.S.-China disputes over computer chips are ideological and not based on facts, and they are set to continue. Wennink left in April after a ten year term at the helm of ASML that saw it become Europe's largest technology firm. Since 2018, the U.S. has imposed increasing restrictions on what tools the company can export to China, its second-largest market after Taiwan, citing security concerns.

LONDON (Reuters) -Shell will take an impairment charge of up to $2 billion after the sale of its Singapore refinery and pausing of construction of one of Europe's largest biofuel plants, it said on Friday. The British energy company had announced on Tuesday that it would halt construction at its Rotterdam plant in the Netherlands because of weak market conditions. Shell said the decision will lead to a non-cash, post-tax impairment of between $600 million and $1 billion when it publishes second-quarter results on Aug. 1.
Gold prices extended gains on Friday to their highest level in a month following key U.S. jobs data that showed the labor market was softening, lifting expectations around a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in September. Spot gold was up 1.1% at $2,380.91 per ounce as of 11:08 a.m. (1508 GMT). "Gold is trading at one-month highs as lower payroll revisions and yet another uptick in the unemployment rate help 'cement' a September rate cut," said Tai Wong, a New York-based independent metals trader.
The June employment report beat Wall Street projections, with the economy adding 206,000 jobs. RiverFront Global Fixed Income CIO Kevin Nicholson joins Market Domination to discuss the implications for markets and Federal Reserve policy. Nicholson has a muted response to the jobs data, noting there is "a lot of mixed data" in recent economic indicators. He emphasizes that the Federal Reserve is likely more focused on the core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, forecasted to rise 0.21% month-over-month in June. "I think that's where their focus is going to be," Nicholson adds that the PCE print is "more important to the Fed than the Jobs report right now." Regarding his market outlook, particularly for bonds (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX), Nicholson predicts, "Right now, I think that the ten-year [Treasury yield] is pretty much range-bound between four and four and a half percent for the second half of the year." He dives into potential scenarios: "If we get the Fed to pull back and delay their rate cuts, we'll see the ten-year go back into that 4.35 to 4.50 range." However, he suggests that if the Fed implements rate cuts, the yield could potentially drop closer to 4%.
