**📈 Markets Bounce Back: Is the Worst Finally Over?**

After a turbulent start to April 2025, global markets are showing signs of recovery

The S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq all posted gains exceeding 2.5% on April 22, buoyed by President Trump's assurance that he has no plans to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's optimistic outlook on de-escalating the trade war with China

This positive sentiment was further reinforced by a significant drop in the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX), which fell below 30 after spiking above 50 earlier in the month

Such a decline in the VIX is often interpreted as a "bear killer" signal, historically preceding substantial market rallies

In India, domestic sectors are leading the rebound, with financials and consumer staples gaining traction amid global uncertainties

While the recent gains are encouraging, investors remain cautious, keeping a close eye on ongoing trade negotiations and economic indicators to gauge the sustainability of this rebound
