Rough Seas in Global Markets
The last few days have felt like a roller‑coaster—except the coaster is a full‑scale financial disaster. A wave of wide‑ranging US tariffs hit the market, and the world shot back with quick, hard retaliation.
It’s a Death‑Trick Sale
Stocks went straight into the dump lane, wiping out trillions of dollars in just a handful of sessions. Classic index scores hit a low they haven’t seen since that infamous March 2020 storm. Shocking, right?
VIX: Fearful, Furious, Freaky
The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) sprinted past the sun, reflecting pure panic. Investors were screaming, “we’re doomed!”
Sector Shockwaves
- Tech & Finance: Hit hardest, like a landslide on a slippery road.
- Commodity Markets: Crude oil dive’s the biggest shock, fear that demand will fall because of a looming recession.
- Gold: Still the calm in the storm, playing the safe‑haven role like a stubborn goldmine in a budget fight.
Bond Markets, Oh You Big Ostracization
U.S. Treasury yields first dropped like a parachute in a flight‑to‑safety. Then they leaned right, responding to inflation fears and the rumor that foreign holders were dumping U.S. bonds. A chaotic dance that added to the “stag‑flation” scare.
