📊 Market Recap – Tuesday, 15 April 2025
Global equity markets experienced modest declines on Tuesday as investors grappled with ongoing tariff uncertainties and mixed economic signals.
U.S. Indices:
S&P 500: fell 0.2% to 5,396.63
Dow Jones Industrial Average: declined 0.4% to 40,368.96
Nasdaq Composite: slipped less than 0.1% to 16,823.17
The subdued market activity followed weeks of volatility driven by President Donald Trump's ongoing trade war.
🪙 Gold Nears Record Highs Amid Economic Uncertainty
Gold prices continued their ascent, with spot gold reaching $3,230.18 per ounce on Tuesday, approaching the record high of $3,245.42 set on Monday. The surge is attributed to increased demand for safe-haven assets amid ongoing economic uncertainties.
💵 U.S. Dollar Shows Tentative Recovery
The U.S. dollar index exhibited signs of stabilisation on Tuesday, rising against the euro and yen after a sharp selloff. However, investors remain cautious due to ongoing trade tensions and potential impacts on the global economy.
🛢️ Oil Prices Remain Volatile Amid Demand Concerns
Oil prices experienced fluctuations, with Brent crude futures trading around $65 per barrel after earlier hitting their lowest levels in more than four years. The volatility is driven by escalating trade tensions and the decision of OPEC+ producers to increase oil production.
🇬🇧 UK Economic Indicators Reflect Mixed Signals
In the UK, wage growth remains robust at 5.9%, despite a decline of 78,000 payrolled jobs in March. The Bank of England is anticipated to continue gradual interest rate cuts in response to these mixed signals and global trade uncertainties.
