๐จ WHAT'S KILLING THE MARKETS? #TrumpTariffs & #WeakJobs
โป๏ธ Markets just hit the reset button โ U.S. added only **73K jobs** in July, while Trump slapped **10โ41% tariffs** on 66 nations, sending ripples through global trade ๐
๐งช Here's the cocktail:
โข **Weak jobs:** Unemployment now at 4.2%, reversing 2025 labour gains
โข **Tariffs shock:** Average U.S. import taxes now over 20%, worst since the 1800s
โข **Stagflation risk:** Inflation up โ growth sagging = Fed in a bind
โข **Yield drop:** 10โyr treasuries fall; traders backrate Fed cuts โ risk sentiment crumbling
โข **Valuation unwind:** S&P trading above 22ร earnings + seasonal volatility
โข **Investor reactions:** Institutions pulling U.S. risk, boosting cash or defensive picks
๐ฎ What comes next? A delicate tug-of-war: Do we see a bounce if growth holds, or a deeper drop if recession fears strengthen?
