#MarketPullback May 2025 hit the markets like a baby with a drum set — loud, chaotic, and unrelenting. The US imposed a 10% tariff on all imports and told China: “Surprise! You get 245%!” Of course, Wall Street threw a tantrum. The S&P 500 index fell more than 10% in two days, wiping out 3 trillion dollars in market capitalization faster than you can say “diversify.”

Economists started throwing around the word that starts with “R” (recession) again, while Australian investors just kept buying American ETFs as if it were a clearance sale on the second day of Christmas.
