Kitco News, Released on 4/4/25
Is a full-blown bear market starting—and how should investors position amid rising tariffs, collapsing stocks, and surging volatility? Chris Vermeulen, Chief Market Strategist at TheTechnicalTraders.com, joins Kitco News anchor Jeremy Szafron to break down what the charts are signaling during one of the most turbulent moments for markets since 2020. As global markets plunge and the S&P 500 hits critical support levels, Vermeulen says the technical outlook has flipped bearish and that a “washout low” could arrive as soon as Monday. With the VIX spiking, gold pulling back under $3,100, and the Fed holding off on rate cuts despite trade-driven inflation, Vermeulen explains how he’s positioning and why cash is king—for now.
