| An Epic Comeback |
US equity markets erased their post-Liberation Day sell-off this week - notching their best winning streak in two decades - as investors parsed surprisingly solid corporate earnings and employment data. A critical slate of employment data this week showed that job growth remained relatively strong in April, despite the extreme market volatility and plunge in consumer and business sentiment. The PCE Index - the Federal Reserve's preferred gauge of inflation - cooled to the lowest-level in almost five years, swinging the market narrative from "stagflation" and back towards "soft landing." |

| Markets Gone Wild |
US equity markets fluctuated wildly in a tumultuous week - ultimately ending with the best weekly gains since November 2023 - after the White House announced a delay on the most "reciprocal" tariffs. Following several days of extreme volatility in which tremors of instability were felt across global markets, investors exhaled as the Administration's tariff messaging pivoted from "retribution" and "score-settling" to dealmaking. Government bond markets were in focus throughout the week as the 10-Year Treasury experienced significant and still-unexplained weakness, failing to act as typical "safe havens" during the market plunge. |

Real estate earnings season kicks into gear this week, and over the next month, we'll hear results from 175 equity REITs, 40 mortgage REITs, and dozens of housing industry companies. Following a year-end tumble that lingered into early 2025, REITs enter earnings season with a bit of upside momentum as Treasury Yields eased from the cusp of two-decade highs. Largely immune from trade/tariff and AI-related risk, REITs are coming back into favor after three years of historic underperformance, which has driven valuations to unusually "cheap" levels. |

U.S. equity markets sputtered in a choppy final week of 2024 as investors returned from the holidays with trepidation following the best two-year run for the S&P 500 since 1997-1998. The S&P 500 finished lower by 0.5% on the week, requiring a late-week rebound to pare steep declines following a historically ugly stretch of losses in the Christmas-to-New-Year period. Treasury yields posted a weekly decline for the first time in a month, pressured by a relatively weak slate of economic data, including soft PMI employment metrics and mortgage demand. |

After surging nearly 5% last week en route to fresh record highs, the S&P 500 dipped 2.1% on the week, with healthcare and technology stocks under particularly sharp pressure. |
