Market volatility was rampant in early March, driven in large part by
changing trade policies and ongoing economic debates. There were sharp rises and falls in the
Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq on many trading days.
Positivity from investors is seen when the Federal Reserve Chair,
Jerome Powell, predicted a good economic status, which led to a brief market surge. Simultaneously, unsettling changes were seen in the price of
Nvidia, a significant partner of the Dow Jones, while an investment in a Dow Jones listed stock made by
Bill Gates invited interest among investors.
Concerns were also heightened with the continuous market corrections and crashing of the Nasdaq.
Tough weeks were more common than positive ones, with most associated with increased tariffs enacted by former President
Donald Trump. Frequent market downturns were witnessed, led by reports of impending
tariffs and weak jobs data, causing bonds to rise.
Performance of different stocks as related to Dow was noted, particularly stocks like Philip Morris International, McKesson, Target, Altria, Bristol-Myers, and others. The risk of a
trade war also impacted financial sentiment and overshadowed positive notes, such as the delay of automobile tariffs allowing for a surge in companies like Ford, GM, and Stellantis.
