THE U.S.MARKET 🇺🇸 Yesterday, major indices closed with sharp declines: the S&P 500 fell 2.70%, the Dow Jones dropped 2.08%, and the Nasdaq declined 4%. Investors sought to avoid the risks associated with a slowing economy and rising inflation due to the ongoing trade war, leading to a sell-off in the most highly valued stocks. The tech sector experienced its worst one-day performance since 2022. The S&P 500 closed at its lowest level since September, falling below its 200-day moving average. 🤔 Right now, many factors influence the market, but tariffs are the main driving force. Until there is more clarity on trade policy, I expect volatility to continue. - Speculation is growing that President Donald Trump is willing to endure economic and market turmoil in pursuit of long-term tariff objectives. When asked if he anticipated a recession, Trump responded: “I don't like making such predictions. Right now, we are in a transition period because what we are doing is something truly significant.” 🤔 The Trump administration appears more willing to accept a market downturn or even a recession to achieve its broader policy goals. - 9 of the 11 S&P 500 sectors ended the day in the red. The worst-performing sectors were semiconductors, broader technology, communications, and consumer discretionary stocks. Significant pressure came from a collective 5.18% drop in the "Magnificent Seven" stocks. Cyclical sectors such as financials, materials, and industrials also faced steep declines. - Defensive sectors, including healthcare and consumer staples, outperformed the broader market but still closed in negative territory. The real estate sector saw moderate support due to falling Treasury yields. The oil and gas sector, along with utility stocks, managed to close in positive territory. Meanwhile, the VIX volatility index surged to its highest level since August 2024. 🤔 Uncertainty from trade wars with Canada, Mexico, and Europe is forcing corporate leaders to rethink their strategies. If this isn’t resolved soon, I believe it could seriously harm the U.S. economic outlook. 📈 Amid concerns about economic conditions, today's market focus will be on labor market data and small business sentiment. Additionally, several consumer sector companies are set to release earnings reports. On Wednesday, inflation data will be closely watched. 📈 KEY ECONOMIC DATA RELEASES TODAY : JOLTS Job Openings (January) NFIB Small Business Optimism Index (February) API U.S. Crude Oil Inventory Report 🎤 U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis will host the "Bitcoin for America" forum in Washington.
