Quick Take

"Q2 2025 saw remarkable market recovery with S&P 500 up 11% despite early tariff fears. Technology led gains as AI companies beat expectations, while tariff implementation delays and trade negotiations provided relief."

Executive Summary

The second quarter of 2025 demonstrated remarkable market resilience following a challenging start marked by tariff fears and DeepSeek concerns that drove recession expectations higher in April. The S&P 500 recovered to finish up nearly 11% for the quarter, with technology and communication services leading performance as AI-related companies like Nvidia and Microsoft beat earnings expectations by wide margins. Key catalysts included Trump's decision to dial back initial tariff threats with a 90-day implementation delay, trade deal progress with the UK, and temporary China-US tariff relief. The labor market continued adding jobs at 150,000 per month despite uncertainty, while inflation remained tame at 2.4% year-over-year. International markets also performed well, with non-US developed and emerging markets up 11.8% and 12.0% respectively, aided by dollar weakness. Infrastructure benefited from AI and data center spending needs. Looking forward, the market faces key risks including potential Treasury yield spikes from fiscal expansion, tariff-driven inflation, and earnings sustainability, while bulls point to continued economic resilience and Fed rate cut expectations.
