Summary of the trading week using the most popular posts from the X platform

In this series, you can find financial markets posts with the highest number of interactions from my X platform feed over the most recent week. I am aware that not everybody uses X regularly, so I thought it could provide some value to your analysis, and investment process. These posts are also surrounded by commentary and explanations of complicated topics.

The S&P 500 recorded the worst week in three months. Tariff headlines, US economic uncertainty, rising bond yields globally, particularly in Germany and Japan, were behind the last week’s volatility.

On Friday, however, they saw a sharp reversal (similar to last week), and the S&P 500 managed to finish above its 200-day moving average. Meanwhile, Gold and Silver continue to outperform.
