Markets

📈 Markets kick off the week with a bounce
U.S. stock futures climbed early Monday, with the S&P 500 up 1%, Nasdaq 100 rising 1.3%, and the Dow adding 0.8%, as investors eye another potential week of gains. But it’s not all sunshine, tariff tensions are heating up, with an April 2 deadline looming and Trump staying vague on the details.

Recession chatter is also growing louder, with JPMorgan’s Bruce Kasman putting the odds at 40%.

📆 What to know about the April 2 tariff day
April 2 is shaping up to be a major moment, as the White House prepares to roll out a new reciprocal tariff plan targeting countries seen as unfair to U.S. exporters. Trump’s calling it “the big one,” setting it apart from earlier one-off tariffs on steel, aluminum, and Chinese goods. But the bigger issue? No clear exit strategy, here’s what to know ahead of April 2nd.

❌ Big Investing Mistakes to Avoid
Some of the smartest investment advice isn’t about what to chase, it’s about what to avoid. Charles Ellis nailed this in his book Winning the Loser’s Game, arguing that success comes not from hitting home runs, but from avoiding big mistakes. With markets known to climb slowly and crash fast, learning what not to do might just be your best edge. Here are 3 easy mistakes to avoid.

👻 What Spooked the S&P 500? It Wasn’t the Trade War
Wall Street’s feeling jittery after the S&P 500's 10% drop, but the real fear is tougher to pin down. Trade policy chaos from the White House is the obvious culprit, with even usually silent CEOs starting to speak out. Less visible, but just as risky, is the market’s heavy reliance on the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants.

🥇 Gold Reaches Unprecedented Highs Amid Global Uncertainty
The Global Precious Metals Index inched up 2.69% this month, with gold charging toward record highs on tariff jitters and Fed rate cut hopes. Silver followed suit, boosted by both safe haven demand and industrial use, while platinum crept higher on supply worries.

INVESTING

Thinking About Market Timing?

Lately, more investors are nervously asking, “Should I move to cash?” It’s a fair question when markets get rocky, but as Mike Smith of Russell Investments points out, timing the market has always been tough, and this time is no different. Sure, cash feels safe, but it comes with a cost: limited upside and the risk of missing a rebound.

Before making any rash moves, take a breath and zoom out. How often do markets stay negative long-term? Not often. And if you pull the trigger on selling, ask yourself, what if you’re wrong?

Here’s the bottom line:

• Market timing is notoriously difficult.

• History shows portfolios tend to recover and grow over time.

• Having a thoughtful plan beats panic every time.

So before you jump to cash, have a conversation, not just with your portfolio, but with your emotions.
