Financial markets have been shaken by a wave of tension, causing a sharp correction in bitcoin (BTC) and major altcoins. In just a few hours, the flagship crypto fell below the critical threshold of $100,000, while Ethereum (ETH) collapsed below $3,400. This pullback occurs against a backdrop of deteriorating global economic conditions. Several factors explain this storm in the crypto market: on the one hand, the rise in U.S. Treasury yields, and on the other, the monetary policy of the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continues to weigh heavily on market confidence. Meanwhile, the global economic environment remains marked by additional stress factors. In light of these disturbances, the crypto market is undergoing a period of high volatility, where investor caution is mingled with panic movements. This correction now raises the question of a potential short-term rebound or a continuation of the bearish trend due to an uncertain macroeconomic environment.

Amidst the swirling background of stablecoins, Ripple orchestrates a symphony of boldness: RLUSD, millions issued, solidified reserves, and vague promises... A storm in the crypto world, and this is just the beginning.

When a country imports more than it exports, its economy weakens and its dependence on external markets increases. In November 2024, France's trade deficit stood at 7.3 billion euros, which represents an improvement of 0.3 billion euros compared to the previous month. This slight reduction in the deficit is primarily explained by an increase in energy exports, which grew faster than imports. However, this improvement does not call into question the structural fragility of French foreign trade. Despite this temporary improvement, the imbalance between exports and imports remains critical. The domestic industry struggles to compete with international competition, and the trade balance remains largely in deficit. This situation raises questions about the competitiveness of French companies and their ability to sustainably establish themselves in foreign markets. Thus, the evolution of the deficit in the coming months will largely depend on the energy situation and the economic policies implemented to rectify the trade balance.
