MARKET OUTLOOK
The one-sided market that we’ve enjoyed since Donald Trump’s victory has likely ended, as fears of inflation, rising rates, Trump protectionism and ballooning deficits begin to percolate.
I believe volatility will continue to be higher. That said, markets will ultimately climb the wall of worry and grind higher as earnings growth overpowers the negatives for now.
While the ride may be bumpier, it’s still not time to get off.
