Global markets experienced a downturn today as concerns over rising inflation rates and potential interest rate hikes weighed on investor sentiment. The US Federal Reserve’s recent signal of a possible rate increase to combat inflation has led to widespread unease among investors. Additionally, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has also contributed to market volatility. Major stock indexes in the US, EU, and UK all saw significant losses, with tech and energy sectors being hit particularly hard. Analysts are advising caution and diversification in investment portfolios in the face of continuing uncertainty in the global economy.
