Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 9th March 2025. 

Global financial markets faced significant volatility during the week, as escalating trade tensions and mixed economic data weighed heavily on investor sentiment.

U.S. equities experienced notable declines across major indices with the S&P 500 falling 3.1%, marking its sharpest weekly decline since September 2024.

Investors grappled with uncertainty stemming from President Donald Trump's announcement of increased tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China.

On the economic front, the U.S. added 151,000 jobs in February, slightly below expectations, while the unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1% from 4% in January.

European stocks climbed on Thursday after the European Central Bank approved a rate cut for its sixth policy meeting in a row, taking the central bank rate to 2.5%. 

Despite these moves European markets displayed mixed performances over the week.

Asian markets experienced gains, with Japanese equities rising by 1% and Chinese equities also up 1.4%.
