Introduction

This video explains the causes of a stock market crash in 2025. It refutes the common assumption that the crash is solely due to tariffs imposed on Canada, Mexico, and China, arguing that the underlying cause is a rapid shift in investor sentiment from bullish to extremely fearful.

Key Takeaways

• The stock market lost $5 trillion since February 19, 2025.
• Tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China (announced in November 2024) are not the primary cause of the crash.
• The market reached all-time highs even after the tariffs were announced and implemented.
• The crash is primarily attributed to a sudden change in investor sentiment, shifting from extremely bullish to extremely fearful within days.
• The volatility index (VIX) increased by 70% in one month, indicating further market volatility.
• An article published in December 2024 predicted a 0% chance of a US recession in 2025, while acknowledging a 90% chance of tariffs.
