Crypto was the talk of the town today, with several stocks getting a halo lift from Bitcoin's 19-month highs

  • Options traders eye Coinbase stock amid Bitcoin buzz. 
  • The latest airline merger attracting investor attention. 
  • Plus, Uber joins the SPX; CVNA's big breakout; and LULU hit with downgrade.

    Gold Hits Record Highs

    Oil prices moved lower for the third day in a row, extending its losses after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its Allies (OPEC+) announced production cuts at last week's meeting. January-dated West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude fell $1.03, or 1.4%, to settle at $73.04 a barrel today. 

    Gold has never been more expensive than it is now, hitting a record level of $2,152.30 per ounce today on hopes that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in 2024. At last look, prices retreated, however, with February gold futures down 2.1% at $2,028.00 per ounce.
