Market Sentiment Shift – What’s Happening?
The market mood turned bearish on Friday, with traders pulling back from risky assets like stocks and moving towards safe-haven assets like Gold (XAUUSD) and US Treasuries. Despite the US30 (Dow Jones) hovering close to all-time highs, many investors started selling profitable positions and shifting into safer sectors like utilities and consumer staples.
Volatility spiked, signaling fear in the market:
The VIX (fear index) jumped to 18.21%.Massive demand for portfolio protection through options (especially puts).
With more progression towards the peace talks, traders will move from the safe haven assets...
Hey there, As an algo creator and trader, all these are good news because it represents volatility and more market movements.Do not expect a peaceful market because Donald Trump is in office this year. Wishing all of you the best.
