0925 GMT - Bitcoin falls as U.S. stock futures point to a weaker open and traders exercise caution ahead of Wednesday's Federal Reserve decision. Rates are expected to be left on hold while Friday's better-than-forecast U.S. jobs data could temper the chances of near-term rate cuts. U.S. money markets now price in three 25 basis-point rate reductions over 2025, having recently priced in as many as four. Worries about trade tensions also resurface after President Trump authorized a 100% tariff on films produced overseas. Bitcoin falls 1.3% to $94,514, according to LSEG data.
