Impact of Market Declines

The U.S. stock market recently experienced significant declines, with major indexes such as the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and NASDAQ all emerging from their worst week in six months. The Dow fell by 2.7%, and the NASDAQ dropped 4%, raising concerns about a potential bear market, particularly noted in the Russell 2000 index which is down over 17% from its peak. Popular tech stocks like NVIDIA and Tesla were particularly affected, with significant year-to-date losses, highlighting the unraveling of the so-called 'Trump trade' and other consensus trades. This downward trend in the market coincides with weakening economic indicators, leading analysts to speculate about upcoming recessions.
