Quick Take

"Markets surged in Q2 2025 with S&P 500 up 10.57% and Nasdaq gaining 17.75%, led by Technology's 22.64% advance. Initial trade policy volatility gave way to strong performance after tariff pause announcement."

Executive Summary

Markets rose strongly in Q2 2025 with the S&P 500 gaining 10.57% and Nasdaq climbing 17.75% despite initial volatility from new U.S. trade policy implementation. The quarter began with market declines following tariff announcements, but a 90-day pause on specific tariffs triggered the S&P 500's largest one-day gain in 17 years at 9.5%. Technology led sector performance with 22.64% gains, while Industrials and Communication Services also outperformed. International markets performed well with MSCI EAFE rising 10.58%. Economic indicators showed mixed signals including GDP contraction of 0.5% annualized in Q1, modest job growth, and declining consumer spending and industrial production. However, inflation moderated with CPI rising only 0.1% monthly in May. The Federal Reserve held rates steady while signaling two potential cuts by year-end. Key risks include ongoing trade policy uncertainty and expected inflation pressures, while catalysts include pending economic reports and potential Fed rate cuts.
