Q1 2025 Quarterly Market Commentary
The stock market declined in the first quarter after two consecutive years of gains exceeding 20%. The year started off strongly, with the S&P 500 reaching a new all-time high in mid-February. However, sentiment shifted late in February amid rising policy uncertainty in Washington, and the S&P 500 ended the quarter down. Days after the quarter ended, President Trump announced tariff measures that caught investors off guard, leading to additional market declines. There are many moving pieces, and much uncertainty in the markets, and we will share our perspective in this commentary. We will also address the increase in market volatility and emphasize the importance of maintaining your investment strategy.

Bailey Financial Group Fourth Quarter 2024 Market Commentary
There was no shortage of market-moving events during a very active fourth quarter. The stock market opened the quarter with a slow start in October, but the outcome of the presidential election triggered a broad rally in November. The rally faded as the year ended, although the S&P 500 was only a few percentage points below its all-time high. The bond market was equally active in the fourth quarter, with the Federal Reserve cutting rates by another 0.50%, bringing the sum of rate cuts in 2024 to 1.0%.
