Your daily horoscope: May 9, 2025

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY A change of direction is a must this year as you have reached the end of your current journey and need a new challenge. Make a break with the past and make it one that cannot be reversed. Move forward fast and don’t look back. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Someone you meet on your travels will catch your eye and maybe your heart as well. If it’s true that opposites attract you could find yourself getting close to someone whose charms are very different to your own – and remarkably the relationship will work. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): Someone you think of as a friend will say something today that annoys you intensely.

Market Jitters: Futures Slide Ahead of Trump's Tariff Announcement

                                                    

The U.S. stock market is experiencing turbulence as investors brace for President Trump's highly anticipated tariff reveal, dubbed "Liberation Day." Futures tied to major indices, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq, have dropped significantly. This decline reflects growing concerns over the potential economic impact of reciprocal tariffs on U.S. trading partners.

While the S&P 500 rebounded slightly on Monday, it closed March near its lowest levels in three years, marking a challenging first quarter. Analysts speculate that the new tariffs could push the effective U.S. tariff rate to its highest level since the 1940s, further straining an economy already grappling with slowing growth and persistent inflation.

The uncertainty surrounding the scope and nature of the tariffs has left markets in limbo, with investors anxiously awaiting clarity. Will the tariffs be blanket measures affecting all trading partners, or will they be tailored to specific countries? This question remains unanswered, fueling market volatility.

As the countdown continues, the labor market's resilience will also be under scrutiny, with key economic data releases scheduled later this week. Investors hope for signs of stability amid the growing unease.

The stock market's reaction underscores the delicate balance between policy decisions and economic confidence. All eyes are now on Wednesday's announcement, which could set the tone for the months ahead.
