Summary

The U.S. stock market has lost over $5 trillion in value in three weeks as the S&P 500 fell 10% from its record high.

The decline, driven by concerns over Trump’s trade policies and slowing economic growth, has led to weaker consumer sentiment and cautious corporate outlooks.

Barclays strategist Emmanuel Cau noted rising uncertainty among investors.

The selloff has also hit AI-related stocks, with Nvidia down 17% and the Magnificent Seven ETF falling 16%.

My finance app automatically increased my retirement age by 8 years as a result of this. Retirement accounts, though diversified, are tanking. At least I have years to wait this out - I feel bad for anyone who was planning to retire soon.

To be honest, if you wanted to use the money in the short term, you shouldn't be all in on stocks
