Market Insights: March 2025

The U.S. stock market had a negative month, with major indices posting losses:

• S&P 500: -5.75%
• Dow Jones Industrial Average: -4.20%
• Nasdaq Composite: -8.21%

The crypto currency sector has also registered negative performances, with Bitcoin’s price dropping by 2.17% and Ethereum’s price dropping by 18.53%.

What Drove This Performance?

In March 2025, both the U.S. stock market and cryptocurrencies experienced notable declines.​

U.S. Stock Market Decline

1. Trade Policy Uncertainty: President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico created significant market volatility. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posted their worst quarterly performances since 2022.

2. Stagflation Concerns: The combination of rising inflation and slowing economic growth led to fears of stagflation. Goldman Sachs raised the probability of a U.S. recession to 35% and projected more interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.

3. Technology Sector Weakness: Tech stocks, including Tesla and Nvidia, suffered heavy losses due to concerns over trade policies and potential supply chain disruptions.

Cryptocurrency Market:

• Bitcoin traded between $80,000 and $90,000, entering a consolidation phase after peaking above $108,000 earlier this year.

Portfolio Snapshot

Current Asset Allocation:

• 27% Stocks
• 43% ETFs
• 13% Crypto
• 17% Cash

My risk score remained stable at 6 (medium) throughout February. I have not closed any position during the recent decline, but I have added a substantial amount of funds in Bonds to protect the portfolio from high volatility.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next for April 2025?

In April 2025, the U.S. stock market faces heightened volatility due to key events:

1. Tariffs Announcements: President Trump’s tariffs set for April 2 could impact global supply chains, raising recession concerns.

2. Federal Reserve Meeting: The Fed’s FOMC meeting on April 27-28 will be crucial for any signals on interest rate changes in response to inflation.

3. Key Economic Data: Important reports like CPI (April 10), Retail Sales (April 16), and GDP (April 30) will guide market sentiment.

My strategy remains the same: monitor the markets daily, make strategic adjustments, and maximize returns while keeping a medium-risk profile.

Recommendations for Copiers

If you’re considering copying my portfolio, here’s how to make the most of it:

1. Invest a minimum of $2,000: This ensures proper diversification and mirrors my portfolio effectively.
2. Focus on the long term: Keep the copy open for an extended period to benefit from compounding and market recoveries.
3. Starting smaller? Begin with a lower amount and add funds later to build your investment.

Now is still an excellent time to start copying my portfolio or to add more funds if you’re already a copier.

Goals for 2025

1. Outperform the S&P 500: Aim for another year of market-leading performance.
2. Maintain a medium risk score: Balance risk and reward effectively.
3. Achieve Champion Popular Investor status: Grow and strengthen our investment community.
