August 2024
The major stock indices in the United States experienced a significantly negative opening, with the S&P 500 falling by 2.30%. This decline is mainly attributed to the increase in the probability of a recession, supported by the deterioration of key macroeconomic indicators, such as the increase in the unemployment rate from 4.1% to 4.3%. This situation has led to a change in market expectations, anticipating a more aggressive rate cut by the Federal Reserve (FED), from 25 basis points to 50 basis points at its next monetary policy meeting.
INDICATORS


SECTOR PERFORMANCE

The market crash has been catalyzed by the Bank of Japan's decision to suddenly raise its interest rate from 0%-0.1% to 0.25%, which has led to the closure of carry trades on the USD/JPY pair.
While it is difficult to predict these bouts of volatility, building diversified portfolios with a long-term view remains critical to successfully navigating the financial markets. In times of uncertainty, diversification and a long-term perspective are your best allies.
