Another Wild Week on Wall Street

Growth expectations have been revised down 

Trade policy concerns have suggested the potential for rising prices and slowing growth. The U.S. economy’s strong starting place could keep it from sliding into recession, but we are expecting near-term volatility to persist. 

Diversification has been working 

Bonds and alternatives have offset the U.S. equity market pullback. High quality bonds may continue to help insulate against growth shocks, but aggressive market expectations for Fed cuts suggest building in additional forms of diversification.

Staying invested through market volatility

History suggests that staying invested through market volatility can pay dividends. After all, stock prices have already fallen alongside growth expectations. While markets could have further to fall, we are optimistic about longer-term prospects.
