The stock market closed with record highs for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq following a chaotic quarter influenced by tariffs and economic uncertainty. Initially, the market faced turmoil after President Trump announced tariffs, but it gradually recovered as investors focused on positive news such as tax cuts and a trade deal with China. Despite these highs, concerns remain about small-cap stocks and ongoing geopolitical issues. Overall, the rebound reflects a shift in investor sentiment towards potential economic incentives rather than negative economic surprises.
As markets reach new all-time highs-even with economic surprises at an 11-month low and geopolitical and tariff-related uncertainties lingering-equity investors appear to have entered another 'bad news is good news' phase.
Since then, though, the market has steadily climbed and climbed, as investors shake off concerns about the policies and focus on the news they want to see, like potential tax cuts.
