Trump accused Beijing of β€œbecoming very hostile” and of holding the world β€œhostage” through its control of rare earth metals, a key resource for the technology and defense sectors. The Dow Jones dropped 1.73%, the S&P 500 fell 2.50%, and the Nasdaq slid 3.27% β€” its worst session since April. Tech stocks were hit hardest: Nvidia -5%, AMD -8%, and Tesla -5%. Beijing’s new restrictions on the export of materials containing rare earths have intensified fears of a renewed trade war escalation. Meanwhile, the VIX spiked above 22. The crypto market also suffered a heavy sell-off, with over 1.6 million traders liquidated and more than $19 billion in positions closed (possibly even higher). The sell-off erased the week’s gains for the S&P 500, while domestic political tension remained high as the U.S. government shutdown entered its tenth day. πŸ“Š π™Šπ™ͺ𝙧 π™‹π™€π™§π™©π™›π™€π™‘π™žπ™€ Despite the pullback, our long-term outlook remains positive. The market has rallied significantly, and a correction appears healthy and necessary. In recent days, we took profits on outperforming stocks such as AMD and uranium-related names, and had already opened short hedge positions after the Nasdaq reached the 161.8 Fibonacci extension and touched the upper Bollinger Band. This strategy helped limit the impact of yesterday’s drop. Defensive positions such as TLT and IEF also softened the blow. It’s important to stay calm: current downward moves are not signs of capitulation, but rather opportunities to re-enter at more attractive levels. Given the market’s strong run over the past year, we may continue to see larger swings, but this should not be a cause for concern. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $AMD (Advanced Micro Devices Inc) $NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) $DJ30
