So the measure of XLY/XLP (things you want versus things you need) ETFs broke down horribly through a trend line. It's 100% possible that this snaps back up soon, but this isn't a great look right now.

The market was not prepared for the level of tariffs announced yesterday. As a reminder, the market does have circuit breakers for rapid downward movements.

After a 7% or 13% drop, the market is halted for 15 minutes for a cool down. As soon as it hits 20%, trading is closed for the remainder of the day.

It happened during the COVID crash but I haven't seen it since. Buckle up.

Since President Trump's return to office, foreign leaders have flocked to the White House, announcing historic investments and restoring America's dominance on the world stage."
