Titan Wealth Weekly Market Update - Monday 7th April

Welcome to this week’s Titan International market review for the week ending 6th April 2025. 

US equities endured their sharpest weekly decline since the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, with the S&P 500 hurtling towards bear market territory.

Tensions were ratcheted up on April 2nd, as President Donald Trump unveiled a sweeping and unexpectedly aggressive set of reciprocal tariffs. 

Despite the heightened volatility, Friday brought a surprisingly strong US jobs report. 

For the week, US equities shed more than 9%, with the technology sector faring even worse — down over 10% — and now firmly in bear market territory, having fallen more than 20% year-to-date. 

Safe-haven demand drove US 10-year Treasury yields down to around 4%, with long-duration investment-grade bonds rallying to deliver weekly returns of approximately 3%. 

While further volatility appears likely as markets digest the implications of the tariff regime, investors would do well to remain calm.
