Dear Investors, Recent market volatility has raised concerns about the potential for a recession. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recently fell by 900 points, or 2.1%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite experienced declines of 2.7% and 4%, respectively. ​ President Trump's recent tariff policies, including additional tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico, have contributed to these market fluctuations. The administration argues that these measures aim to correct trade imbalances and will benefit the economy in the long term, despite potential short-term disruptions. ​ Major financial institutions, such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, have adjusted their growth forecasts in light of these developments. Additionally, companies like Delta Air Lines have revised earnings outlooks due to economic uncertainties exacerbated by the tariffs. ​ The VIX index, which measures stock market volatility, has surged, reflecting heightened uncertainty among investors. ​ ft.com In summary, while the U.S. economy continues to show underlying strength, current trade policies and market reactions necessitate careful monitoring. I recommend maintaining a diversified investment strategy and staying informed about ongoing economic developments For you invest more when you see the copy account goes -8%, I think that the market will go more down 5% but we never know maybe trump will speak and make the market green, so DCA every month. I think that by April we will see the market recovers, let's wait and see, do not panic you are an investor = you hold and wait. The market is currently struggling due to Trump’s recent statements, where he clarified that he intends to make tariffs a permanent policy, rather than just a temporary negotiation tool. Investors reacted negatively to this news, fearing that it could lead to stagflation – a dangerous combination of high inflation and weak economic growth, which is one of the worst scenarios for financial markets. The S&P 500 has dropped below its 200-day moving average, which is a bearish technical signal, triggering more selling pressure. The core issue? Investors worry that Trump's tariff policies on China, Canada, and Europe will push companies to manufacture domestically, raising costs and potentially escalating into a full-blown trade war. It didn’t stop there. Trump also stated that he is not concerned about monitoring the stock market, which made things worse. Investors typically expect the President to care about market performance and use it as an indicator of economic success. With markets continuing to slide, there is now a real risk that it could start affecting the real economy, lowering both investor confidence and consumer spending. So far, the market has dropped 8.6% from its February peak, with major tech stocks like Nvidia and Tesla seeing even sharper declines. This has been particularly painful for tech investors, who have been leading market growth in recent years. What’s Next? The future depends on how Trump handles the situation. If he eases trade tensions and delays government job cuts, markets could stabilize. But if he continues his aggressive stance, analysts predict that the downtrend could continue, increasing the risk of an economic recession. Your friend Saif Al Naqbi
