Causes of Market Turbulence (Based on Key Events):

President Trump's announcement of a 25% tariff on imports from countries like India and China, raising fears of a trade war. This increases corporate costs and slows down the economy.

The Federal Reserve (Fed) raises interest rates or hesitates to lower them, making borrowing more expensive. Economic recession fears also increase volatility.

Disputes between the United States and China, along with disruptions in supply chains (such as in aviation or technology).

Technological and Psychological factors: Investors sell quickly due to fear (Fear & Greed), leading to a rapid "crash." Automated trading (Algorithms) exacerbates volatility.

Market Impacts:

Sharp declines in stocks (such as a 14% drop in the S&P 500 in March/April 2025), and an increase in bond prices as a safe haven.

Forced liquidations in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, and a collapse in stocks due to "de-leveraging" (reducing debt).

Volatility in oil and gold prices, and a decline in shares of major companies like Nvidia or Singapore Airlines.

The VIX fear index reacting to high levels (like 50), and buying opportunities in discounted assets but with high risks. Share with friends.
