Year To Date Performances:

1. Global markets tumbled last week as U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada, despite offering temporary relief to some Canadian and Mexican goods. Wall Street saw sharp sell-offs, with the Nasdaq entering correction territory, while European and Asian markets also struggled. Analysts warn that market volatility is likely to persist, citing Trump’s unpredictable policy shifts and broader economic uncertainty. Concerns over a potential trade war and retaliatory tariffs from affected countries add to investor unease. While U.S. stock futures showed some stability, Bank of America noted that investors feel "overwhelmed" by the rapid pace of economic and policy shifts.

2. U.S. job growth remained stable but weaker than expected in February, with nonfarm payrolls rising by 151,000—below the 170,000 forecast but an improvement over January's revised 125,000. The unemployment rate ticked up to 4.1%, while the labor force participation rate fell to its lowest level since early 2023. Federal employment dropped by 10,000 as Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continued job cuts, with broader impacts expected in coming months. Wage growth held steady at 0.3% month-over-month but softened slightly year-over-year. Market reactions were mixed, with stocks rising but concerns persisting over Trump-era policy turbulence.

3. Amid backlash over sweeping federal job cuts, President Trump has moved to limit Elon Musk’s authority over staffing decisions, directing Cabinet secretaries to make final calls on workforce reductions rather than Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). While praising Musk’s efforts to curb waste, Trump emphasized a “scalpel” approach over mass layoffs, seeking to reassure anxious voters and Republican lawmakers facing mounting criticism. Musk, who has pushed for aggressive agency downsizing, met privately with congressional Republicans to ease concerns over potential political fallout, as GOP lawmakers demand more transparency into DOGE’s cost-cutting initiatives.

4. Headlines

   1. Walgreens will go private in a $10B deal with private equity firm Sycamore.

   2. Trump has removed collective bargaining rights for 50,000+ TSA officers.
