WHAT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW ~

Here we go again, let’s dig in. As the market faces new challenges with this administration threatening a continued pressure on our allies, China and the E.U. Thankfully, last week's market action displayed resiliency and robust is still among us in the trading arena. Our concerns rely on if our economy can continue to withstand the threats of a recession. Thus, we are constantly doing a balancing act with our portfolios. 

However, the first week in June may be a turning point for the market. Political tariff dances aside, big names reported earnings and one being a top player in AI posted tremendous gains. This in turn pulled the market up with a stronghold on related stocks. As investors look on, we are all hoping for this news to continue to boost the market with other top names following in its path. 

Despite the unsettling headlines around fresh tariff threats, the stock market has shown remarkable resilience. These kinds of geopolitical tensions, particularly when driven by shifting rhetoric from the White House, are not new to seasoned investors. History tells us that while markets may react with short-term volatility, they often recover as the broader economic fundamentals reassert themselves.

What’s encouraging is that this latest round of tariff-related noise, while causing brief market jitters, hasn’t derailed the underlying growth trajectory. In fact, past episodes of trade tensions have trained markets to discount transient shocks and focus more on earnings, innovation, and consumer spending trends — all of which remain on solid footing.

How to Maintain a Healthy Mindset and Portfolio:

1. Zoom Out. Daily headlines can feel overwhelming, but remember that investing is a long-term game. Looking at the market in weeks or years — rather than days — helps you tune out the noise and stay grounded in your financial goals.
2. Diversify Intentionally. A well-diversified portfolio, balanced across asset classes and geographies, is your best defense against policy volatility. When tariffs rattle one sector, others may benefit or stay neutral.
3. Stick to a Strategy. Emotional decisions are often costly. Revisit your investment strategy and make sure it’s aligned with your risk tolerance, time horizon, and objectives. If it is — stay the course.
4. See Volatility as Opportunity. Market pullbacks, especially those driven by political posturing rather than economic fundamentals, can create opportunities to buy quality assets at a discount.
5. Control What You Can. You can’t control the headlines, but you can control how you react. Focus on things like savings rate, asset allocation, and rebalancing — and let the markets do what they do best: adapt and grow over time.

In times like these, calmness is a competitive advantage. Market ups and downs are part of the journey — but with a steady hand and a long view, you're already ahead of the curve.
