I am a firm believer that the market doesn’t like uncertainty. That reality has been seen on more than one occasion in 2025, most notably post-Liberation Day. As discussed in last week’s post, uncertainty hasn’t disappeared—even after the pause in the trade war between the U.S. and China. One of the other investing tenets I believe in is that when things look the bleakest, the market embraces less bad news. And that reality has been evident recently, with the S&P 500 rallying more than 22 percent since the year-to-date low on April 7.
