Quick Take

"Regency Wealth sees market volatility from tariff announcements as disconnected from underlying economic resilience. While consumer sentiment surveys show pessimism with 7% inflation expectations, actual PCE inflation is 2.1% near Fed targets."

Executive Summary

Regency Wealth maintains a moderately optimistic outlook despite significant market volatility triggered by Trump's reciprocal tariff announcements that caused the S&P 500 to drop over 12% in four trading days. The firm emphasizes the critical distinction between soft survey data showing consumer sentiment at multi-year lows and hard economic data demonstrating underlying resilience. While consumer inflation expectations hover above 7%, actual PCE inflation printed at 2.1% year-over-year, near the Fed's target. S&P 500 companies continued growing revenues at 5% and earnings at 13% year-over-year. The Fed is expected to cut rates once in 2025, down from previous expectations of 2-3 cuts, as policymakers assess trade policy implications. International markets gained investor interest with MSCI EAFE returning 12.07% for the quarter. Credit conditions remain healthy with declining delinquencies at major banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America. The firm advocates for prudent diversification while maintaining conviction that hard data supports a resilient economic foundation despite headline-driven anxiety.
