Hey kids, did you know that the stock market, where people buy and sell parts of big companies, can go up and down a lot? It's like a rollercoaster! Recently, there's been some uncertainty because of new taxes on imported goods and what the Federal Reserve (like a bank for banks) might do with interest rates. This affects how much things cost and how much money people invest.
- President Trump is talking about new taxes on things like cars and computer chips.
- The Federal Reserve is thinking about changing interest rates, which could affect the stock market.
- Some big companies like Walmart are getting ready to share their financial results, which will give us a better idea of how the economy is doing.
