📊 Weekly Market Vibes:

Whew, what a ride!

This week’s bull run caught even me by surprise—pretty intense momentum across the board.

But the real shocker?

On April 2nd, former President Donald Trump dropped a major announcement—proposing steep, reciprocal tariffs on all U.S. imports. Starting at 10%, with the potential to spike up to 25%. That’s the highest in 100 years!

China didn’t hold back either, hitting back with a 34% tariff on U.S. goods.

Daily charts:

And the markets? They definitely felt the tremor.

The Dow nosedived over 3,900 points in just two days.
S&P 500 and Nasdaq both slipped into bear market territory with nearly 6% drops.
Tech and export-driven stocks got hammered.
Meanwhile, investors rushed into safer assets, pushing Treasury yields down.

Crazy week, right?

But hey—moments like these are exactly why we remind ourselves to stay disciplined and think long-term. These aren’t just charts and numbers… they’re signals. And how we respond, not react, is what sets us apart.
