Episode notes
Market Sell-off and Key Indicator
- The market sell-off intensified due to anticipated tariffs, despite Trump's earlier downplaying of their impact.
- The NASDAQ 100's 200-day moving average is a key indicator, with potential downside targets if selling continues.
Potential U.S.-EU Trade War
- The EU is preparing an "anti-coercion instrument" to respond to U.S. tariffs.
- There's a risk of a trade war escalating between the U.S. and EU, especially given rising geopolitical tensions.
Meta Breaks Key Level
- Meta's stock price broke below its 200-day moving average, following other tech giants.
- This is significant because Meta was the last of the "MAG-7" to hold above this key level.
