Market Volatility and Tariff Impacts

Global equities are currently facing heightened volatility, primarily driven by uncertainty surrounding U.S. reciprocal tariffs. The S&P 500 recently experienced its worst quarterly performance compared to international markets since 2009, prompting concerns among investors. Analysts suggest that the market's ability to rally after hitting session lows indicates a potential for buying opportunities, particularly ahead of key tariff announcements. There is speculation that positive movements may follow these announcements, despite the inherent risks associated with tariff policies.
