Monday was not a day for the faint of heart or weak of portfolio. U.S. President Donald Trump announced tariffs would remain on simmer just a little longerโfrom July 9 to August 1, giving everyone extra time to argue about them on cable news. The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow all responded by breaking out in hives, dropping 0.85%, 0.91%, and 1.02% respectively. Woe betide the investor with optimism! Meanwhile, in the magical fairyland of digital currencies, bitcoin leapt up to $109,000, then promptly remembered gravity and plopped itself back down to $108,000. Flatlined, but with style. ๐ช
