This week, global stock markets experienced a sharp decline, rattling investors and raising concerns about the economic outlook. The sell-off was triggered by a combination of escalating trade tensions, fears of a global slowdown, and uncertainty surrounding monetary policy.

Market Recap: A Tumultuous Week for Stocks

On April 3, the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged nearly 4000 points, marking one of its worst sessions in recent years. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also posted steep losses. This market turmoil erased trillions in market capitalization, with major tech and industrial stocks leading the decline.

In the energy sector, Australian markets saw a dramatic downturn as panic selling sent stocks like Woodside Energy and Santos plummeting by nearly 9%. Investors fled riskier assets in favor of safer havens, such as gold and government bonds.
