Year To Date Performances:

1. The Russell 2000 became the first major U.S. stock index to enter a bear market, dropping over 20% from its November 2024 peak amid a broad sell-off fueled by President Trump’s aggressive tariff policies. Small caps, once expected to benefit from deregulation, have been squeezed by rising costs and high interest payments on floating-rate debt. Analysts predict further struggles in the near term, though potential Fed rate cuts later in the year could offer relief. Meanwhile, large-cap indices like the S&P 500 remain in correction territory but have yet to follow small caps into a full bear market.

2. Trump’s sweeping 46% tariffs on Vietnam rattled markets, hammering companies reliant on Vietnamese manufacturing, including Nike (-12%), Wayfair (-28%), and American Eagle (-16%). Vietnam, a key alternative to China for production, accounted for nearly a third of U.S. footwear and 26.5% of furniture imports in 2023. Analysts warn the tariffs could drive up prices for consumers already wary of inflation. Companies are scrambling to relocate supply chains, but uncertainty looms as trade tensions escalate, leaving manufacturers questioning where to turn next.

3. U.S. Treasury yields plunged as investors fled risk assets after President Trump unveiled sweeping tariffs. The 10-year yield fell 15 basis points to 4.04%, its lowest since October, while the 2-year yield dropped 19 basis points to 3.71%. Analysts warn the tariffs could slow U.S. growth to below 1% in 2025, prompting expectations of Fed rate cuts totaling 75-100 basis points by year-end.

4. Headlines

   1. Despite declining mortgage rates, US housing costs remain near an all-time high due to tariffs.

   2. Family offices are moving money out of the US in record amounts due to fear about the country's economic future.
