7 tips for managing your investments in a volatile market
Briefly

Recent weeks have seen significant market volatility, driven primarily by the current administration's tariff wars rather than traditional market crashes or global events. This situation is unique, as past market downturns had recognizable patterns and recovery timelines. Historically, crashes have occurred every 7-10 years with average recoveries of 1.4 years. Unlike these familiar cycles, the tariff-induced instability introduces uncertainty. Investors are advised to remain cautious and avoid panic, as the nature of the current volatility is unprecedented and not based on typical economic trends.
This market instability stems from tariffs rather than a classic market crash, making it feel notably different in terms of reactions and recovery expectations.
While past downturns followed predictable patterns leading to recovery, current tariff-driven volatility presents unique challenges and uncertainty for investors.
