Market Volatility: Key Insights and Trends from Last Week

Last week offered another turbulent session in the markets.

Market Trends and Government Interventions

Initially, stocks continued their downward trend in the early part of the week. However, on Wednesday, President Trump announced a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs for all U.S. trading partners except China. This announcement triggered a significant market rally: the S&P 500 surged 9.5%, the Dow gained 7.9%, and the NASDAQ jumped 12.2%.

This rally marked the best single day for the market since 2008. Unfortunately, the excitement was short-lived due to the escalating trade war with China, leading to a downturn in stocks again on Thursday.

Expect this volatility to persist in the coming week. It’s important to note that markets will be closed for the Good Friday holiday, yet many developments warrant our attention.

Insights from Dr. Ed Yardeni

To help navigate these complexities, we are joined by economist Dr. Ed Yardeni in this week’s Market Buzz. In our exclusive interview, he tackles pressing questions regarding the economy, such as why “bond vigilantes” have been successful, the likelihood of an agreement between China and the U.S., and whether China will devalue its currency. This is an insightful discussion you won’t want to miss!

Leveraging AI Amidst Market Uncertainty

Given the ongoing market volatility, an agile investment strategy is essential.

This is where our partners at TradeSmith can assist. They recently launched an upgraded AI trading tool that you shouldn’t overlook. Their analytical engine employs a custom algorithm to identify stocks likely to rise sharply or fall significantly over the next 21 days.

For instance, on March 12—weeks before a downturn in the tech sector—this tool predicted that Palantir Technologies (PLTR) would decrease by 6.79% within the following 19 trading days. By the end of the forecasting period on April 8, PLTR had indeed dropped by 7.57%.

This accuracy isn’t just a coincidence; in the past two years, the prediction model has successfully forecasted PLTR’s price direction 75% of the time, hitting the exact price target within the 19-day window 89.84% of the time.

Imagine applying this level of analysis not only to Palantir but to thousands of stocks, including those you already own. The implications of this advancement are substantial, especially in a volatile market.

On Wednesday, April 16, at 8 p.m. Eastern, TradeSmith CEO Keith Kaplan will provide crucial details about this powerful tool during an event titled The AI Predictive Power Event.
