Brace for Impact
First Week with Walter Todd

Brace for Impact

March 31, 2025

Uncertainty is on a bull run as volatility increases and ever-present tariff concerns loom. In April’s First Week video, Walter shares his insight on where that volatility is coming from and what upcoming events are likely to impact the market, from special elections in Florida to a potential Fed Rate cut in June.

In this month’s video:

  • Investor Concerns: Market volatility is up as major companies such as Nike and FedEx report cautious consumer spending. 
  • Key Events: Today, special elections in Florida could indicate voter sentiment and the upcoming payroll report on Friday is crucial for economic outlook.
  • The Takeaway? A balanced portfolio is key, as fixed-income and defensive sectors have been performing well. While future trends are depended on economic data, policy decisions, and investor confidence, there is potential for a short-term bounce.
