#MarketTurbulence Market turbulence refers to rapid, unpredictable fluctuations in financial markets, often driven by economic, political, or global events. It’s characterized by sharp price swings in stocks, bonds, or currencies, causing investor uncertainty. Recent examples include the S&P 500’s worst drop since 2022 in August 2024, triggered by a weak jobs report, and volatility in April 2025 due to U.S. tariff announcements. Causes range from trade policies, inflation fears, and geopolitical tensions to technological shifts or consumer behavior changes. Investors are advised to stay calm, diversify portfolios, and focus on long-term goals to navigate turbulence effectively.
