Subject: Your Weekly Market Snapshot: 13th - 17th October 2025

Assalamu’alaikum & hello traders,

How’s your week been so far? I hope it’s been kind to you — whether it’s filled with wins or lessons in disguise.

Some of you might’ve wrapped up the week with solid profits — Alhamdulillah! For others, maybe the markets tested your patience a little. But that’s the beauty of trading, isn’t it? Every week brings its own lessons. What matters most is that you showed up, stayed disciplined, and kept learning. Because trading isn’t just about charts and price action — it’s about mastering your emotions, building consistency, and growing as a person.

📊 Friday Market Wrap – Weekly Recap

Here’s a quick look at what moved the markets this week:

Minutes Chart:

📈 Volatility creeps back in.

After six straight months of gains, the S&P 500 rally finally hit some turbulence. Trade tensions between the U.S. and China, the ongoing government shutdown, and fresh worries about small regional banks have all added pressure to market sentiment. Small-cap financials took a hit after several banks reported losses from bad loans — sparking wider concern about the private credit market.

Daily charts:

The spike in the VIX (volatility index) and a rush toward safe-haven assets show that investors are getting a bit more cautious. Still, many analysts see these challenges as temporary. Potential Fed rate cuts, strong corporate earnings, and supportive fiscal policies could keep the broader outlook for 2026 positive.

For now, staying diversified and using market dips to rebalance your portfolio might be the smarter move — focus on long-term quality, not short-term noise.

💬 Your Turn

What do you think — are we seeing the start of a bigger correction, or just a healthy pullback before the next rally? Share your thoughts in the comments. I’d love to hear how you’re reading the market right now.

🌱 Gentle Reminder

Trading is a marathon, not a sprint. Some weeks lift you up, others humble you — and both are part of the journey. Keep sharpening your skills, protect your capital, and stay emotionally steady no matter what the charts say.

⚠️ Disclaimer

This isn’t financial advice — just personal reflections and insights. Always do your own research or consult a professional before making investment decisions.

That’s all for this week’s wrap-up. Take the weekend to rest, recharge, and reconnect with those who bring you peace. In shaa Allah, I’ll see you again next Friday with more updates.

Stay patient, stay focused, and may your weekend be full of barakah. 🌙✨

Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!

Cheers & Regards,

Syazwan Bakar
