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.
It’s Not Unusual
Can you make grown men and women (and equities) weep tears of joy by implementing the highest tariff rates since the 1930s Smoot-Hawley? The answer is yes, you can, as long as it is preceded by the threat of incredibly high, onerous tariffs.
Will Congress Abide The Big Tax Bill?
“Slightly lower taxes for some, similar taxes for others” doesn’t sound like an exciting policy platform. But any time we’re talking about a major U.S. tax and spending bill, the stakes are high.
Say You’ll Be There
The question going forward is what this self-inflicted tariff uncertainty will morph into as time goes on. Will tariffs prove to be a mere inconvenience to U.S. consumers and corporations, with these entities being able to absorb and navigate the impacts without a significant hit to the economy?
Eye of the Hurricane?
The U.S. economy sustained a significant shock on Liberation Day, one that has already shown up clearly in consumer and business survey data. We now brace for the impact on corporate earnings and real economic activity, assuming the tariffs are not withdrawn in the interim.
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.

April Market Volatility Update
We came into 2025 expecting a pickup in market volatility. It has not taken long for those expectations to be met, and then some. As we feared it would, the combination of optimistic businesses and consumers with equity and credit markets priced for perfection proved to be combustible when policy uncertainty was added to the mix.
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.
