Weekly Edge
At the end of the trading week, the team at NewEdge Wealth publishes its commentary on the week that was, as well as some insights into what it means for clients looking ahead.
Heartbreaker
It’s never fun to write about disappointment on Valentine’s Day, but Pat Benatar would agree that this week’s inflation data was more “love taker” than “dream maker”.
Surprise Surprise
It would be wonderful to live in the cozy world of only-happy Surprise Surprise, but the reality in 2025 is likely to be far more balanced between potential positive and negative surprises coming out of DC.
With or Without You
While Tech stocks came close to making a 10% correction last week, many of the sectors that lagged last year (yes, even international stocks) were among the leaders. With growth, led by personal consumption and a strong labor market, still solid heading into 2025, investors may be remembering the lead single from U2’s 1987 classic, The Joshua Tree, as they ask whether they can live “With or Without” the AI trade.
The Reason
Overall, we do not see economic growth giving the Fed The Reason to cut rates in the near term, with the U.S. economy exhibiting much more resilience to short term interest rates this cycle. But given the wild cards of President Trump’s second term and the funding challenges of the Treasury, we expect to see continued jawboning around a desired path forward for Fed policy, even if growth remains resilient.
Wealth Strategy
A successful wealth strategy process benefits from a team of advisors, collectively focused on the goals specific to your family. Below are some of the insights and strategies the team at NewEdge has published on what it means to have a wealth strategy, rather than a simple financial plan.
