Hello community

2025 has been very active in turbulence in the markets, reflecting a volatile year for global financial markets. Based on recent web data and X publications, here is a concise overview of the factors driving the turbulence and how investors are reacting: Key Factors of Market Turbulence in 2025: Tariffs and Trade Tensions: New American tariffs, including a base rate of 10% on all trading partners and higher rates on countries like China (34%), Japan (24%), and the EU (20%), have disrupted global trade, increasing fears of inflation and supply chain costs. These policies, intensified under the Trump administration, have caused fluctuations in the market, with the S&P 500 dropping by 4.4% to 5.6% in Q1 and only in March.
