Markets tumbled again on Monday after President Donald Trump said he wouldn't rule out an upcoming recession in the U.S., sending skittish investors into another sell-off fueled by whiplash over tariffs and overall economic uncertainty.
US stocks have been tipped to make a slight rebound on Tuesday, following what was the worst season in over three years for the tech-powered Nasdaq. On the futures market, the S&P 500 was anticipating a 0.5% rise, with Nasdaq futures up 0.6% and Dow Jones futures up 0.4%.
You may not have noticed -- it's not getting a lot of attention -- but the last few days, the tech-heavy Nasdaq stock exchange has been in kind of a funk.
Fears about a potential recession and a tariff war between the U.S. and its trade partners are causing significant volatility in the stock market. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has taken the brunt of the drop, falling 13.4% since its recent highs in December and 9.5% since the beginning of 2025.
Financial technology company Upstart (UPST -11.71%) has taken investors on quite a bumpy ride over the past year or so. After falling dramatically in the post-pandemic years, Upstart's stock price more than quadrupled from its 52-week low after three consecutive strong earnings reports.
Panicked yet? It would be a little surprising if you weren't at least a bit.

The Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -4.00%) index is home to almost every company listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, many of which operate in the technology space. The highest-profile businesses in that group have largely been leaders in artificial intelligence (AI), and their stocks have produced some of the best returns over the past couple of years.

In 2024, technology stocks involved in artificial intelligence (AI) led the Nasdaq-100 index higher, while healthcare stocks struggled due in part to concerns about how Robert F. Kennedy's nomination for Health and Human Services Secretary might impact the industry.
Investors haven't had many chances to consider buying shares of the artificial intelligence (AI) leader Nvidia (NVDA -5.07%) on a big dip over the last several years. But now is one of those times.
The Nasdaq stock market has officially entered correction territory, with the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -4.00%) down by about 14% from its recent high as I write this. While the recent volatility can certainly be scary, it can also create buying opportunities for patient long-term investors.
