March 2025

Hi everyone, did 2025 just hit the panic button?

U.S. markets have hit their first real correction of the year, and the numbers tell the story:

📉 Major Index Performance

• S&P 500: -7.5% from its peak, -1.89% year-to-date

• Nasdaq 100: -11% from its peak, now -3.86% year-to-date

• Russell 2000 (Small Caps): -7.28% year-to-date

• Dow Jones: Holding steady at +0.61% year-to-date

Market Momentum Shift

February has brought a major shift:

• The S&P 500 touched its 200-day moving average—a level unseen since October 2023. Could this be a bear trap setting up a reversal?

What’s Shaking Things Up?

🔺 Trade War 2.0 – Trump’s 25% tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China have kicked off a fresh trade war, with retaliatory tariffs on the way.
🔺 DOGE-led Federal Layoffs – A massive round of government job cuts is rattling the economy.
🔺 Economic Slowdown – The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model projects a 2.8% GDP drop in Q1—a first contraction in three years.

So, What’s Next?

❓ Are tariffs and layoffs pushing us toward a recession—or is Trump cooling the economy by design?
❓ Should you panic-sell, or is this a buy-the-dip moment?
❓ And why is China’s Hang Seng soaring +23.75% while the S&P 500 lags?

Don’t miss the full breakdown—including my strategy and key stocks I’m eyeing.
