Weekly Newsletter – 9th May , 2025

Markets had a relatively calm week. The tone was somewhat optimistic as the Fed acted in line with expectations and there were indications of progress on trade negotiations. The UK was first off the block on May 8th, and was followed yesterday by the all-important agreement with China to keep tariffs at 30% for the next 90 days. Markets have responded very positively and have jumped almost across the board. We recommend clients use this opportunity to lock in some profits and rebalance their portfolios.
