Market Insights
Below, you’ll find the market commentary published by the team at NewEdge Wealth, including our Weekly Edge, published at the end of each trading week, our Yearly Outlooks, and additional insights throughout the year.
Leveraging Uncertainty to Provide Stability
With uncertainty on the rise and market sentiment faltering, investors may be starting to second-guess their portfolio risk to avoid future haymakers that equity markets may throw. Portfolio strategies that provide investors with a degree of downside protection against equity loss and defined return outcomes can be a powerful tool to keep otherwise fearful investors aligned with (their financial) plan.
Goodbye, Sunshine
The Street has started coming around to our view of more challenged equity market returns and lower GDP growth for the year, singing “Goodbye, Sunshine” to bright S&P 500 targets and cutting estimates for the full year. The median YE 2025 forecast for the S&P 500 has been trimmed from 6,600 in mid-February to 6,430 today (Bloomberg).
Call It
Spring has barely sprung, but our expectations for wide and choppy ranges in both interest rates and stock prices in 2025 have already been met…and then some. What markets do on a day-to-day basis – and what new policy announcements may drive them – has begun to feel like a coin toss.
Fear Inoculum
Individual fear is an inevitable emotion when markets are lurching lower and headlines are filled with talk of recession, but as the above analysis shows, when aggregate fear spikes and becomes the consensus emotion, it usually behooves investors to find that “long overdue immunity” to their own individual fears and embrace contrarian optimism.
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.
