#MarketTurbulence A The turbulence in the markets in August 2025 is being driven by a combination of economic, geopolitical, and sectoral factors, with visible impacts on both traditional assets and cryptocurrencies.

🌪️ Main causes of the current turbulence

📉 1. Fears about tariffs and interest rates

The expectation of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve is mixed with concerns about trade tariffs and disappointing corporate results, leading to volatility in indices like the S&P 500 and Dow.

🧨 2. Regulatory conflicts and mergers in the betting sector

In Australia, betting operators like PlayUp are facing regulatory and financial pressures, leading to consolidation movements and asset sales.

☀️ 3. End of incentives in the solar sector

In the U.S., the end of tax credits for residential solar energy is prompting a rush for installations before the deadline, but it also generates uncertainty about the future of the sector.

🏦 4. Crypto market on alert

Volatility in traditional markets often reflects in the crypto sector, with investors migrating between risk assets and safe havens like gold and stablecoins.

The crypto fear and greed index is in the greed zone, which may indicate overheating and correction risk.

🛡️ How are investors reacting?

According to a survey by Investopedia:

42% of investors bought the dip during the declines in August.

61% believe a recession is likely in the next 12 months.

Despite the turbulence, most still describe themselves as cautiously optimistic.
