This Week's Market Perspective
We're seeing patterns that don't fit traditional models. Interest rate movements usually drive predictable responses, but 2025 is proving that global interconnectedness has changed the game fundamentally.
What concerns me isn't the volatility – that's normal. It's the speed of sentiment shifts. Social media and algorithmic trading are compressing reaction times from days to minutes. This creates opportunities for nimble investors but requires completely different risk management approaches.
My advice? Focus on fundamentals but stay flexible with timing. The companies with strong balance sheets will weather this uncertainty, regardless of short-term price movements.
