Market Outlook Spring 2025

HOWE & RUSLING MACROECONOMIC COMMITTEE

In our outlook for 2025, we wrote about the following factors that we thought would impact investment returns this year: Artificial Intelligence Investments and Commercialization of AI Applications, Labor Market Conditions, Inflation, and Fiscal and Monetary Policy. We provide our latest thoughts on each of these topics in this update, after a quarter characterized by a lot of market-moving news and a corresponding increase in stock market volatility.
