Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Despite tariff-driven market volatility and consumer sentiment at multi-year lows, hard economic data shows resilience with actual inflation at 2.1% versus survey expectations above 7%. S&P 500 companies continue growing earnings at 13% with upside guidance emerging."

Executive Summary

Regency Wealth maintains a prudently optimistic outlook despite significant market volatility triggered by Trump's reciprocal tariff announcements, which caused the S&P 500 to drop over 12% in four trading days. The managers emphasize the disconnect between soft survey data showing consumer sentiment at multi-year lows and hard economic data demonstrating resilience, with actual PCE inflation at 2.1% versus survey expectations above 7%. S&P 500 companies continued growing revenues at 5% and earnings at 13% year-over-year, with several issuing upside guidance for the second quarter. The Fed is expected to cut rates once in 2025, down from their previous base case of 2-3 cuts, as policymakers assess trade policy implications. International markets gained investor interest with MSCI EAFE returning 12.07% for the quarter. Key risks include trade war escalation and questions about US safe-haven asset status, while catalysts include potential earnings beats and business margin resilience as producer prices rise slower than consumer prices.
