“During the first six months of 2022, the S&P 500 dropped 20.6%, marking its worst first-half performance since 1970” while “the Dow had its largest first-half drop since 1962” and “the Nasdaq… had its largest percentage drop in its history.” This has left “a lot of investors worried, and understandably so. But while things might seem bleak right now, the reality is that investors really shouldn’t panic.”

“India has crossed two bleak landmarks in its battle against the coronavirus. The country has now reached over 400,000 infections, making it the fourth-worst-hit country in the world, overtaking Britain, Spain, and Italy. But it’s also lifted its 76-day lockdown.” In order “to stave off economic disaster,” the country is now “walking head-on into a pandemic at its peak.”
