Economic Uncertainty: The combination of slow economic growth and persistent inflation has created uncertainty for investors, reflected in the broad market index's performance throughout August, which initially rose but later declined.
Stagflation Concerns: Rising inflation expectations and fears of stagflation—characterized by slow growth, high unemployment, and rising prices—are causing anxiety among investors, particularly regarding potential overconfidence in the market.
