I find it bizarre how many libs are calling a global market sell-off a "tantrum." Are you going to spend the next 4 years of Kamala's rule telling us that the job market "needs to chill" and reminding us that our decimated portfolios disproportionately hurt the BIPOCs?

if you look at 6 month charts from just about any period in history, you will see jagged but upward growth in the stock market. The last 4 months in the market, and particulary since the Nvidia earnings and stock split, have been ridiculous. It is natural to have a pullback, build a new higher base, and then grow from there.

As it is, the Dow is 2x from where it was when Biden took office and the Naz is up like 60%. That isn't a 1929, 1987 or 2008 type event.

This is the borrower yen - buy japanese equities trade being unwound because of a change in Japanese monetary policy. It has ripple effects around the globe as hedge funds unwind this trade (and others that have been highly profitable). You're seeing the fall out from this in the U.S. and other markets because of that.

Hedge funds were deeply into the yen carry trade. Wonder if we see a couple of the less liquid ones going down?

Still happy about the Ukraine War? Kicking Russia out of the financial system had downstream effect of weakening the dollar as countries moved away from it.

Russia?



If they'd stop invading countries, that would be great for ghe global economy

Ask Putin if he's still happy about the Ukraine War. He's responsible for it.

The people freaking out about a 2.6% drop have absolutely no business being invested in the market. That kind of movement is entirely normal and expected. If you can’t deal with it, don’t invest.

This. Opened the thread because the title was so startling. The market is not crashing.

What is it with the constant search for bad news? We’re doing great!

Weakening the dollar is a central plank to the Trump/Vance economic platform. If they had their way, the dollar would be stricken as the world's reserve currency.

And you wonder why people get accused of being Russian propagandists on this board? There is no credible market analyst or economist that would agree with you about this being because of kicking Russia out of the financial system.

I’m not reading this nonsense to know if anyone made this point but… a crash is when the indices go to multi year lows. We aren’t even to a YTD low. S&P is still up 9+% on the year.

For those of us who have owned stock since the 80s, this hasn’t even gotten up to “mild discomfort” yet… hardly not alarm or panic.

Recessions happen, inflation happens. People who were spoiled by 2 decades of mild inflation thanks to Trump, and Trump alone, and a booming stock market, again courtesy of Trump, don’t understand how normal a correction is.

Unemployment ticked up to 4.3%!?!? OH MY GOD THE WORLD IS ENDING.

This is just BS being peddled by market opportunists and doom peddlers that want to see Trump elected.

Looking at the fundamentals of the economy, we are due for a mild recession and a stock market pullback. This is all very normal. Anyone who told you it always goes up was just messing with you because you’re a halfwit.

Seriously. Russia wanted the world destabilized and here we are. And any American who has been shilling for Putin will be responsible as we all lose tons of money.

This, and also there have been obvious Russian propagandists here. Like actually failing to switch Cyrillic/Latin keyboards before submitting from trolls.
