Equity Market Outlook 2Q 2025
While surging tariffs and a hard sell-off have sown uncertainty, we expect negotiations to bring some relief on initial tariff proposals, and that sharply slower growth seems more likely than a U.S. recession. We also believe stimulus in Europe and China may rejuvenate global industrial activity (albeit at a slower pace), and recommend styles, sectors and regions that are most geared to it.
