⚠️ What Caused the Market Crash on August 1?
Let’s break it down in the simplest way:
🔥 Why Did Everything Drop?
Trump dropped surprise tariffs (10%+ on imports). Markets were caught off guard.
Big companies disappointed. Google and Intel posted weak results.
Bad signs from the economy. Japan raised interest rates. U.S. job data came in weak.
Stocks were too high already. So once pressure hit — boom, they fell fast.
Tariff = Higher prices. That means people might spend less → stagflation worries.
Bonds went wild. Yields jumped. New rules around stablecoins added stress.
Global domino effect. Europe and Asia also fell. Oil and copper prices sank too.
📅 What Comes Next?
The Fed might act fast (Aug 1–7). Rate cuts on the table?
Apple, Amazon, Exxon earnings (Aug 1–2) — these could shift momentum.
Trade talks + G7 meeting could cool things down — or heat them up more.
