The Choppy Markets: Nvidia Earnings and Jackson Hole Meet a New Era of Volatility The stock market's recent volatility reflects an increasingly unstable economic landscape, not just in terms of numbers but also as a symptom of deeper uncertainty.
Last week, both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 posted their first weekly decline in four weeks, yet they remain up by more than 12% year to date.
This volatility is not solely driven by investors' pre earnings jitters or the upcoming Jackson Hole economic symposium. It's a reflection of our era's unprecedented uncertainty.
