Deep dives
Market Volatility and Economic Sentiment
Recent market conditions indicate significant volatility, with the S&P 500 erasing $5 trillion since its peak and experiencing dramatic daily declines, especially following President Trump's tariff announcements. Investors’ sentiments regarding Trump's handling of the economy have also shifted, driven by fears of a brewing trade war and declining stock market performance. Polls reveal that American investors are increasingly frustrated with the current economic climate, with a noted escalation in the VIX, reflecting high volatility across both traditional and crypto markets. Notably, rising recession probabilities are also affecting investments, as the five-year Treasury now suggests a 52% chance of a recession within the next year.
