ICYMI - WTF happened last week?

Markets Lose Momentum After weeks of gains, global markets dipped, with the S&P 500 down 2.4%. A natural pause in an otherwise steady uptrend.

Tariff Tensions Return Fresh U.S.–China trade threats rattled investors, sparking market sell-offs. Rare earth restrictions added to global supply worries.

Gold Breaks Records Gold surged past $4,000 an ounce, its highest ever. Investors continue to seek safety amid global uncertainty.

Oil Dips to Five-Month Low Crude prices fell over 5% to $58 a barrel. Fears of oversupply and slowing demand weighed on the energy market.

Crypto Holds Its Ground Bitcoin hovered around $70,000 despite market volatility. Long-term holders remain confident in its inflation-hedge appeal.
