Bitcoin drops below US$90,000 as AI worries sour risk appetite


Risk sentiment turned sour after US cloud firm Oracle’s profit and revenue outlook missed forecasts and executives flagged higher spending – a sign that AI infrastructure outlays are not turning profits as quickly as investors had hoped.
Bitcoin was last down 2.5 per cent at US$90,056.24, while ether tumbled 4.3 per cent to US$3,196.62, erasing the past two days of gains and extending the weakness that began in the US trading session on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates.
