The stock market went down a bit yesterday! This is because people are worried about things like inflation (prices going up), President Trump's trade deals, and a possible government shutdown. It's like a puzzle with many pieces that affect how the stock market does.
- The S&P 500, a group of big companies, went down by 1.2%.
- The Nasdaq, where many tech companies are, went down by 1.8%.
- President Trump threatened new taxes on goods from Europe.
- There's a chance the government might shut down because politicians can't agree.
| Thing | Change |
|---|---|
| S&P 500 | Down 1.2% |
| Nasdaq | Down 1.8% |
| Dow Jones | Down 1% |
Even though some inflation numbers were better than expected, lots of uncertainty keeps investors nervous. It's hard to predict what will happen next!
