Financial markets experienced several bouts of jarring price movements last week, with the CBOE VIX Index climbing above 50 at one point and the S&P 500 Index flirting with a bear market (i.e., a decline of 20% or more from its February peak). The on-again, off-again tariff policy coming out of the White House, as well as unexpected price movements across the bond market, were behind some of the biggest price swings across asset prices in decades. Most economic releases during the week, including updates on consumer inflation, were seen by investors as stale and out-of-date, given evolving tariff dynamics.
