Hey kids! Did you hear about the stock market? It's like a giant game where people buy and sell parts of big companies. Lately, things have been a bit bumpy!
The stock market went down a little because everyone is worried about new taxes on things coming from other countries. President Trump is thinking about making these taxes even higher, which could cause problems.
Investors are also watching closely to see what the Federal Reserve (like a bank for banks) will do about rising prices.
- Taxes on things imported from other countries might go up.
- People are worried about a trade war and how it affects companies.
- The price of gold went up because people want a safe place for their money.
- Some big companies had good news, others not so much.
