Subject: Your Weekly Market Snapshot: 6th - 10th October 2025

Assalamu’alaikum & hello traders,


How’s your week going? I hope it’s been treating you well.


Some of you might’ve closed the week with solid wins — Alhamdulillah. Others might’ve had a few bumps or lessons along the way. And that’s completely okay. Every week in the market teaches us something new. Just showing up, staying disciplined, and putting in the work is already a step forward. Trading isn’t only about reading charts or chasing numbers — it’s about building patience, resilience, and emotional strength.


📊 Friday Market Wrap – Weekly Recap

Here’s what moved the markets this week:


Minutes Chart:

📉 A Rough Week on Wall Street

It’s been a rollercoaster. The U.S. federal government shutdown has stretched into its second week, and the lack of progress is starting to weigh on sentiment. Until Friday, investors seemed to brush it off — but things changed fast. Markets tumbled after former President Trump hinted at higher tariffs on China, especially around rare earth metals.


The Dow dropped 1.9%, the S&P 500 fell 2.7%, and the Nasdaq slid 3.6% — their biggest declines in months. The mix of political gridlock, trade tensions, and economic uncertainty sent investors toward safe havens like gold, while the VIX (fear index) spiked higher.


Daily charts:

Still, analysts say October’s volatility might open up buying opportunities for long-term investors, especially with optimism around growth and earnings heading into 2026.

💬 Your Turn

What’s your take? Are we seeing the start of a deeper correction — or just a setup for the next rally? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.


🌱 Gentle Reminder

Trading is a journey, not a sprint. Some weeks build your confidence, others test your patience. Keep refining your strategy, manage your risks wisely, and stay grounded through it all.


⚠️ Disclaimer

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


That’s it for this week’s wrap-up. Take the weekend to rest, recharge, and reconnect with the people who matter most. Inn Shaa Allah, I’ll catch you next Friday with more updates.


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


Assalamu'alaikum and Peace out!


Cheers & Regards,
