2. 📉 After Trump's announcements (25% tariffs in preparation), global markets had plunged in early April, with the S\u0026P 500 and Nasdaq losing more than 10%, causing the worst crash since 2020. Fortunately, the markets have since recovered.
3. 🏛️ The Fed maintained its benchmark rate (4.25%-4.5%) during its meeting on July 30, but for the first time since 1993, two members voted in favor of an immediate cut. Investors are watching Powell's speech tonight.
4. 📊 Institutional investors (49%) are still concerned that the long-term economic risks of US tariffs are underestimated, prompting them to diversify into defensive sectors or keep more cash.
