Despite facing continuous obstacles, the financial markets show resilience with a consistent upward trajectory, much of it propelled by the desire for insight into trade regulations and monetary policy decisions by the Federal Reserve. There is an expectation for the tariff stalemate to be prolonged, which would indeed be a sigh of relief for corporations and consumers, underpinning the bullish sentiment presently seen in the market.
Although clarity in trade policy is indeed a good sign, we cannot shadow the fact that tariffs still impose an overbearing strain on both expansion and earnings. Other than that, let us not underestimate the sensitivity of consumer confidence which can rock the financial boat. Therefore, the best we can hope for in such circumstances is a mid-cycle deceleration leading to a soft landing. Market yields, although projected to remain in the positive zone, would still be below average considering the economic difficulties that lie ahead.
It almost feels as if, with each passing day, we are in search of new justifications for why the key market indicators are holding steady and even advancing in the face of the numerous challenges they face. We are navigating through a sea of a trade feud, tariff anxiety, worries about debt and deficit, not to mention fluctuating interest rates.
