market commentary

This past week has been an eventful one on Wall Street, with markets reacting sharply to news surrounding new tariffs and global trade tensions. It’s completely natural to feel a bit rattled when headlines are negative and the numbers on your screen are flashing red, but I want to share some context and perspective that may help you navigate this moment with confidence.

Persistent headwinds continue to cloud the global markets and have created a very narrow trading range.  However; the markets have been resilient so far in 2023.  The S&P500 is up double digits YTD.

So far in 2022 the markets are posting mostly negative returns.  In addition, we are seeing increased volatility which is to be expected after such a strong run up in market prices over the past few calendar years.
