#美国贸易赤字状况 US stocks start the year cold, with tech stocks leading the "surrender"

Today, January 8th, Beijing time, the three major indices did not give the New Year’s market a face—opening lower across the board. The Nasdaq led the decline, dropping 75.26 points, down 0.32% to 23,509.02. The S&P 500 was also not optimistic, falling 10.55 points (0.15%) to 6,910.4. The Dow Jones was relatively resilient, slipping only 45.59 points (0.09%) to 48,950.49.

The declines don’t seem large, but all three indices opening lower simultaneously is worth pondering. The market was狂欢 for the past two months, and now suddenly hitting the brakes—there must be a reason. Especially with the Nasdaq leading the decline, indicating that the hottest sector—tech stocks—is now making investors shiver. A bunch of high-valuation assets suddenly don’t look so attractive anymore.

Interest rate outlooks are still uncertain, economic data keeps updating, and fund managers are re-evaluating their holdings. Today’s lower open is a signal that investors are gradually adjusting their expectations. Is this a fleeting correction or the prelude to bigger volatility? We need to keep an eye on trading volume and upcoming trends to find out.

The most important lesson at the start of the year isn’t chasing gains, but learning to cut losses. Don’t wait until risks explode before regretting. $BTC $ETH $BNB
