Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
Global markets experienced a sharp selloff wiping out trillions in value across stocks, crypto, and gold. The S&P 500 lost over $1.8 trillion in a single session, AI stocks shed over $1 trillion, Bitcoin dropped to ~$59,000, and gold saw its worst weekly decline in months. The primary trigger identified is the latest U.S. jobs report showing 172,000 jobs added, which paradoxically turned into bad news for markets as strong economic data raised concerns about prolonged higher interest rates.
