Uncertainty remains to be the buzz word in 2025 regarding the financial markets, explains Edward Jones Financial Advisor Ryan Painter:
“The whole story of 2025 in the markets has been uncertainty. Uncertainty around tariffs. Uncertainty around legislation will all the new tax proposals that could potentially be a big part of this beautiful bill, they could affect companies, as we as, interest rates. We don’t know what is going to happen with interest rates, we think they are going to go down, but they haven’t yet, and the Fed has continually sort of held their cards close to the chest, which I think is probably the right approach, but it is not always the most popular approach. You have sort of this three-legged stool of uncertainty right now with these things and at the moment there is not a resolution in sight. We think there will be, we just don’t know when.”
Painter states the best approach during these times of uncertainty is to always be saving.
