market jitters
Investor panic signs
Market jitters describes nervous anxiety among investors, typically triggered by uncertainty about economic conditions, political events, or corporate news.
The phrase captures the twitchy, reactive quality of financial markets when confidence wavers: Market jitters sent stocks tumbling after the Fed's announcement.
Unlike a crash or correction, jitters suggest unease that may or may not lead to significant movement.
