Stocks and bonds both suffer! The S&P drops 2%, the largest decline since the beginning of the year, and the VIX soars to 20, reaching a six-month high.

【Crypto World】The global trade tensions combined with bond market turbulence have dealt a heavy blow to the US stock market. The S&P 500 index fell by 2.05%, wiping out all gains since the beginning of the year; tech stocks fared even worse, with the Nasdaq 100 index dropping 2.08%. Market panic is palpable—the VIX volatility index surged sharply, once breaking through the 20 mark, reaching the highest level since November . The sell-off of Japanese government bonds pushed up US bond yields, while escalating China-Europe trade frictions heightened investor anxiety. Under these dual pressures, risk assets are left with nowhere to hide.

Here we go again. This wave of decline is really painful, but to be honest, I'm just waiting to buy the dip.

Almost 2%. Is this the rhythm of a market crash?

Here it comes again, this wave of decline feels endless --- Tech stocks are getting hammered again, I really can't hold on anymore --- VIX breaking 20, so what? I've seen crazier days --- I'm tired of hearing "stock and bond double kill," can we change it up --- Japan is passing the buck, and we end up bearing the brunt --- Oh no, why can't trade frictions just stop --- This year's market, we really have to see it through to the end of the year to consider it a win --- It feels like all risk assets are waiting to die, so boring

Here we go again, always the same pattern. When the bond market jitters, the US stock market suffers along, and tech stocks are always the stepping stones... Wait, the VIX broke 20? We need to see how the crypto market reacts... The combo punch of trade war + debt crisis, this year is destined to be turbulent. Alright, the signal to buy the dip has appeared again, haha... Japan selling US Treasuries? Are they trying to force the Federal Reserve to take action...
