Dear Investor,

The capital markets experienced mixed performance during this week driven by trade policy uncertainty following President Donald Trump’s tariff announcements, including a 35% tariff on Canadian goods and threats of 15-20% blanket tariffs on most trading partners. U.S. markets saw a pullback on Friday after hitting record highs earlier in the week, with investor sentiment weighed down by tariff-related concerns. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new highs on Thursday, buoyed by strong earnings from companies like Delta Air Lines and Nvidia’s historic $4 trillion market cap milestone. European markets declined, while Asian markets showed mixed results amid trade tensions and regional economic data. Bitcoin surged to a new all-time high above $118,000, supported by corporate adoption and pro-crypto legislation.
