But yeah, we only saw 3.4 billion shares change hands today, which marks the lowest volume trading day of the year, including other abbreviated sessions that we've seen so far.
I definitely think that that's another thing that people are worried about, especially because in recent weeks we've heard more discussion about whether the Fed is likely to slow down its pace of interest rate increases or not because of the volatility that we've been seeing in the markets and some of the weaker data points that we've been seeing across the economy recently.
And I think so far a lot of folks in the markets believe that the answer is no, that the Fed is still likely to raise rates as signaled back in its September meeting.
And that has, I think, introduced a little bit of nervousness again because there's a sense that the Fed, which under previous Fed chairs was seen as being more accommodative to the markets when they started tumbling, more opens the idea of slowing down.
a little bit.
I think a lot of folks think Jerome Powell is the opposite of that.
And so that sort of removes a support point that folks might have been counting on earlier in the year.
Yeah, and I think as usual, a lot of things could potentially go wrong.
That's what people are always worried about because I don't think many are expecting a quick resolution to this trade fight that we've been seeing because it's already been going on for several months at this point.
We've already seen tariffs put in place.
We've already seen more sort of restrictive policies in general exchanged between the two countries.
But I think what people are always worried about is a sudden escalation.
You know, some nasty words get exchanged, something that could spook markets that way.
So we'll definitely be keeping an eye on that.
That's right.
We saw Apple break below the $1 trillion market cap mark for the first time in a couple of months.
And that was really a significant point, I think, because Apple had been sort of one of the last of the FANG stocks to really tumble from its highs.
And some of the traders I'd been speaking to earlier in the month had even said, you know, we've seen Facebook go, we've seen Netflix go.
Once we see Apple go, that might really start some volatility in the markets.
In fact, we did see a little bit of that come to play.
