📉 #Market_Turbulence 🚨
August 2025 witnesses severe fluctuations in global markets! 📊
- **US Stocks**: The S&P 500 index fell by 1.6% and Nasdaq by 2.24% in a single session due to a weak jobs report (only 73,000 jobs in July) and expectations of new tariffs from the United States.

- **Ethereum ($ETH)**: Despite the turmoil, it maintains strength at ~2508$ with institutional purchases supporting the rise.
- **Reasons**: Trump's new tariffs on 68 countries, disappointing economic data, and expectations of a delay in interest rate cuts from the Fed. [](https://insights.edgeterminal.com/market-volatility-surges-amid-global-economic-uncertainty-what-investors-should-know-in-august-2025/)
- **Investor Strategies**: Shift towards defensive sectors (consumer goods, utilities), gold, and small-cap stocks. Hedge using options like "Put Spreads". [](https://www.ainvest.com/news/navigating-stock-market-seasonality-august-september-2025-2508/)
