Market Commentary

Latest News

March 18, 2026 – College basketball March Madness begins this week, and betting markets are off and running. Investors are in the midst of their own market fixation as winners from last year are struggling to put points on the board this year. Major stock market averages rebounded cautiously this week as investors gauge the potential impact on growth and inflation from the Midde East conflict. Stock market futures are indicated lower this morning as we await a Federal Reserve decision and forward-looking commentary.
March 11, 2026 – While escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are fueling short-term volatility, it is critical to rely on a strategically balanced and diversified portfolio to weather these immediate storms. Furthermore, as the AI revolution triggers a generational repricing of technology, this disciplined allocation ensures your wealth is protected from vulnerable “asset-light” software companies and positioned to capture growth in tangible, “asset-heavy” physical industries.
March 4, 2026 – Major stock market averages stumbled this week as the Middle East conflict rattled investors. However, markets recovered from yesterday’s morning lows, and the S&P 500 is down less than 1% year to date. This comes after the S&P 500 has been trading near all-time highs recently and after three strong years of market returns. Four of eleven S&P 500 sectors are down this year, although 7 sectors are in positive territory and five sectors are up 10% or more. The effects of this Black Swan event remain to be seen, depending upon the extent and duration of the conflict and its impact on energy supplies, economic growth and inflation. Stock market futures are indicated positive this morning.
February 25, 2026 – While artificial intelligence is driving real business capabilities, the massive infrastructure costs and uncertain long-term profitability have triggered wild fluctuations in stocks tied to AI themes. Rather than reacting to these daily market swings, ignore the volatility and keep your focus on identifying the true long-term winners as they begin to demonstrate tangible financial success.
February 18, 2026 – As the Winter Olympics wind down over the next week, several medals have been won by merely staying on course. Sometimes just finishing the race, even backwards, can advance an Olympic contender to the next level of competition. Staying on course, keeping an eye on risk, and making adjustments along the way are just as important in an investment strategy.
February 11, 2026 – Much like Sunday’s snoozefest of a Super Bowl, the market is trapped in a defensive struggle characterized by flat retail sales and deepening fears of AI disruption in software. As the Fed signals a continued pause on rate cuts, it is time to take a page from the consumer’s playbook and use this volatility to scoop up high-quality companies at discount prices.
February 4, 2026 – Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Groundhog Day this week, forecasting 6 more weeks of winter. Phil’s accuracy is only about 30% over the past decade and about 39% dating back to 1887, but it rivals more sophisticated models. This week the technology sector caught a chill, although other sectors of the stock market are starting to thaw out.
January 28, 2026 – Supported by the upcoming “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBBA) fiscal stimulus and broadening earnings growth, the first half of 2026 offers a favorable market backdrop even as Big Tech faces intense scrutiny regarding tangible AI returns. However, we anticipate conditions will become more challenging later in the year, as the accumulation of lofty consensus earnings expectations and potential macroeconomic friction creates a riskier environment for investors.
January 21, 2026 – The “Sea of Tranquility” on Earth’s Moon was the site of the historic Apollo 11 landing in July of 1969, marking humanity’s first steps on another celestial body. The area was named for its seemingly calm, dark plains and potentially smooth landing potential. We started out the new year in a relatively tranquil phase for markets, but that has faded for now as new tariff threats have emerged. Hopefully, this is resolvable and short-lived, but bond yields around the world are backing up leading to a pullback in equity markets.
January 14, 2026 – Following a strong, three-year bull market, we view the start of 2026 as a pivotal shift where sticky inflation, mixed earnings, and rising geopolitical tensions are replacing the era of easy, momentum-driven gains. While the near-term economy remains resilient, the market will need to see confirmation in upcoming earnings releases to continue its march higher.
