Quick Take

"U.S. economy showed resilience in Q3 with trade tensions easing and fiscal stimulus from OBBBA legislation. Small caps led broad market gains as Fed cut rates 25bp with more cuts expected."

Executive Summary

The U.S. economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in Q3 2025 despite ongoing tariff volatility and late-cycle expansion concerns. Trade policy stabilized with bilateral agreements reached with key partners, though legal challenges persist and tariff costs are beginning to filter into consumer prices. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act provided front-loaded stimulus to both consumers and businesses, helping offset fiscal tightening from higher tariffs. The Federal Reserve cut rates by 25 basis points with expectations for 1-2 additional cuts before year-end. Markets posted broad gains with small caps leading the rally, driven by improving fundamentals, discounted valuations, and sensitivity to rate cuts. Corporate earnings are expected to broaden beyond mega-cap tech leaders while businesses accelerate capital spending, particularly in AI infrastructure. Key risks include persistent recession probability, inflation pressures from tariff pass-through, and mega-cap concentration concerns. Looking ahead, the combination of fiscal stimulus, monetary easing, and economic resilience supports a constructive outlook despite non-zero recession risks typical of late-stage expansions.
