Trump Does WHAT to the Stock Market?! You Won't Believe It!

My Reaction? POGGERS!

Okay okay settle down chat! I know you're all here for the gaming and the ASMR but your girl has gotta keep up with the world ya know? And Wednesday? Wednesday was WILD. The stock market went absolutely bonkers after Trump announced he was putting a pause on some of those crazy tariffs. Apparently the S&P 500 skyrocketed! Like actually went super saiyan. We're talking a 9.52% increase which for you non finance PogChamps is HUGE. I nearly choked on my boba when I saw the numbers.

Dow Goes Brrrr!

The Dow Jones also went on a rampage climbing almost 3,000 points. It was like watching a rocket launch – except instead of Elon Musk it was… well you know. And the Nasdaq? Don't even get me started. It jumped 12.16%! It's the biggest one day jump since… *checks notes* …January 2001! Which let's be real was basically the Stone Age. I was probably still playing Neopets back then. Before the glow up you know?

Experts Be Like: 'This is the PIVOTAL Moment!'

Apparently this whole thing was a big deal. I read a quote from some fancy finance person named Gina Bolvin who said "This is the pivotal moment we've been waiting for." Pivotal! Like a pivotal scene in an anime! So dramatic. But hey I'm here for it. Anything that brings a little clarity to this whole financial mess is a win in my book. But is it really all sunshine and roses? Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

From Bear Market to... What IS That?!

So apparently before this crazy rally the market was in a bit of a funk. A four day funk to be exact. The S&P 500 took a 12% nosedive which is… not ideal. It was like when I lose a game of Fortnite because I got distracted by chat. The Dow lost over 4,500 points and the Nasdaq was down even more. It was looking grim chat. Real grim. But then Trump happened. Gotta love the drama!

Hold Up Wait a Minute!

Before you start throwing all your allowance money into stocks let's pump the brakes for a second. Experts are saying it's too early to celebrate. I know I know bummer right? Apparently even though Trump paused the tariffs he's still planning to "reorient global trade." Whatever that means. Someone get me a translator! And some more boba.

Don't Get Cocky Kid

Basically we're not out of the woods yet. The trade negotiations are still going to be a rollercoaster with lots of "positive and negative headlines." I have to say I am stressed. So what's the lesson here PogChamps? Stay informed don't panic sell and maybe diversify your investments into… you know… limited edition Funko Pops? Just kidding… mostly. But seriously keep your eye on the ball. Or you know the stock ticker. And as always stay hydrated!
