Market Update – April 24, 2025

The markets are cautiously optimistic this week. Major indices are ticking upward as volatility cools—S&P 500 and Nasdaq both notching modest gains. The VIX has dropped below 30, often seen as a bullish signal for equities. Historically, this has meant strong 6-12 month returns.

Still, it’s not all smooth sailing. The IMF trimmed global growth forecasts due to ongoing trade tensions, and U.S. businesses are keeping a wary eye on tariff policies despite some recent easing.

Investors: stay diversified, stay patient. Volatility creates opportunity for those prepared.

Tariffs Are Making Headlines — Don’t Let Them Shake Your Investment Strategy

Trade tensions and tariffs can create short-term volatility, but long-term investing is about staying focused on your goals — not the headlines.

A well-constructed portfolio is built to navigate uncertainty. Now is a great time to review your allocations, rebalance if needed, and make sure your investments are aligned with your risk tolerance and long-term plan.

Markets change — your strategy should be ready.

If you’re looking for guidance during uncertain times, we’re here to help.
