Courtney Donohoe said the selling is spilling into crypto with Bitcoin heading for a six-week low after a suspected hack at Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange.

Donohoe also reported the Federal Trade Commission is suing restaurant technology firm Toast for allegedly luring businesses with trials and then making it difficult to cancel paid subscriptions, which Toast says it plans to fight.

Donohoe said the share of household spending devoted to alcohol fell last year to a record low at just $630 per household, or less than 0.8% of total spending, a reminder that consumer pullback is not only a tech story.
