👋 Hey, Olivia! 

Wall Street is teetering on the edge of a bear market, with President Trump’s sweeping tariffs sending shockwaves through global markets. Major indexes are now flirting with a 20% drop from recent highs, spurred by fears that rising import costs, inflation, and retaliatory tariffs will drag the U.S. and global economies into a prolonged downturn. Investors are bracing for more volatility, and history shows that bear markets like this can be steep—but also present some of the best long-term buying opportunities.
