🚨 US stocks' 7,000-point "hangover" is here! Tech flash crash, gold V-shaped reversal—who won this tug-of-war?
Yesterday, the S&P 500 just made a historic breakthrough to 7,000 points 🎉, but less than 24 hours later, the market staged a horror show of "peaking and crashing." Gold also rode the rollercoaster, falling first and then rebounding quickly!
So what exactly happened in these 24 hours?
⚡️ The panic trio—reasons for yesterday’s plunge
1️⃣ Microsoft’s earnings report blew up and backfired
Microsoft (MSFT) revenue exceeded $81.3 billion, but its stock still plummeted today.
Why? Azure cloud growth slowed, while AI investments surged 66% to $37.5 billion💸. Investors are starting to worry: with so much money burning, when will profits come?
2️⃣ Gold fell first, then rose
Gold prices first hit a historic high of $5,600, then briefly fell back to $5,140.
The reason is pragmatic: the stock market crash forced highly leveraged institutions to sell gold for cash to cover margins. But don’t panic—the pullback is just a short-term liquidity issue; geopolitical risks are the real driver💪.
3️⃣ Fed’s hawkish pause
Rates held at 3.50%–3.75%, with no clear timeline for cuts. Naturally, the market is nervous at the 7,000-point peak—this itself is a bearish signal.
🌟 The reversal is here—gold instantly recovers!
After the first wave of selling pressure passed, safe-haven funds quickly flowed back into gold. Combined with geopolitical tensions (Iran situation + tariff pressures), gold prices rebounded in a V-shape, showing strong safe-haven demand remains.
