Latest Investments & Planning Insights
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.
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.
Labor Market Showing Its Flair
Fed rate cuts appear to be on hold. Global government bond markets are in retreat. And stocks have been jittery in the opening days of 2025. The trend for each of these hinges, to varying extents, on whether the U.S. job creating machine can continue humming in 2025. The December U.S. employment report gave us hope that it can.
