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.
The Show Must Go On
Our last Weekly Edge addressed the potential that we could see improving economic data in the wake of the U.S. election, reflected by more optimistic consumer and business survey responses. Since then, we’ve seen that effect materialize in some places (consumer expectations) but not others (services business sentiment).
Hard and Soft
While markets have been shaky over the past two weeks, the positive trends remain broadly similar to those in the final two months of 2016. Stocks could muster another lurch higher if business sentiment begins to reflect a more bullish outlook for 2025, perhaps due to a combination of lower expected tax rates or less stringent regulation.
My Friends Over You: International Equities into 2025
Given this backdrop of a stronger USD, tariff uncertainty, and weaker earnings, we see reason for U.S. investors to continue to broadly pick my friends (domestic stocks) over you (non-U.S. stocks).
Do You Remember the First Time?
The price action across equities, fixed income, and currency markets had many investors “remembering the first time” that Trump was elected in 2016, with the assumption that a similar playbook can be applied to today’s market.
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.
