Eric and Matt dive into the fascinating dynamics of the market from the past quarter. Despite a 10% rise in the S&P 500, the quarter was marked by significant early volatility due to unexpected tariff announcements. The discussion covers the impact of tariffs on markets, the influence of global trade tensions, and the interplay between short-term and long-term market reactions. They also delve into the implications of AI and new technologies on market trends and the potential for volatility driven by algorithmic trading. The episode explores the role of the US Federal Reserve, the evolving market perception of Bitcoin, and the broader economic impacts of geopolitical events.
