Quick Take

"Markets recovered from April tariff-driven selloffs to hit all-time highs by quarter-end."

Executive Summary

Miller Wealth Management's second quarter letter explains how markets recovered from dramatic April selloffs caused by global tariff wars to hit all-time highs by June 30th. The recovery was driven by easing trade tensions and strong corporate earnings. The manager identifies six key drivers supporting current market performance despite ongoing geopolitical concerns: the AI boom with major companies investing billions in automation and productivity, an energy boom driven by technological innovation and global demand, medical advances attracting major investments, sustained consumer spending on travel and home improvement, increased NATO defense spending as European countries compensate for reduced U.S. support in Ukraine, and tight labor markets driving higher prices and profits. Looking ahead, the manager will monitor Federal Reserve policy balancing inflation and slowdown risks with 2-3 rate cuts projected, tariff negotiations as the 60-day pause expires July 6th, and impacts from new federal legislation. The letter emphasizes relying on time-tested investment principles regardless of market environment.
