「Stock Market Guru」 Trump Malfunction: Verbal Boost Ignored by Market, US Stocks Fall for Five Consecutive Weeks Amid Wall Street Backlash

BlockBeats News, March 30. The Middle East conflict continues to escalate, policy uncertainty intensifies, and the U.S. stock market is under pressure. The S&P 500 index has recorded its fifth consecutive weekly decline, marking the longest losing streak since 2022. Despite U.S. President Trump's repeated signals to de-escalate the situation to stabilize market sentiment, investors' response has noticeably weakened.

Market analysis points out that as the conflict lingers unresolved and policies fluctuate, the "Trump Put" effect is fading. Investors are no longer simply trading based on policy statements and are even starting to take contrarian actions in the absence of substantial progress.

Meanwhile, oil prices remain high (WTI crude oil surpassing $100), exacerbating global "stagflation" concerns. Coupled with the uncertainty in the Middle East, market risk aversion is increasing. The VIX volatility index has risen above 31, significantly higher than the historical average.

Institutions generally believe that without substantial easing in the Middle East situation, especially the stabilization of the Strait of Hormuz, relying solely on policy rhetoric will be challenging to reverse the market's downward trend.
