Three Charts That Have Our Attention

If you are curious about what’s going on in the market or economy, we’d like to share some charts / graphics that we think are insightful.

Tariff Implications. The U.S. trade deficit varies with key trading partners, showing significant imbalances with China, the EU, and Mexico, particularly in machinery, transport equipment, and manufactured goods. Amid trade tensions, investors should prioritize diversification, as trade disruptions could lead to sector-specific volatility.


Staying Fully Invested Is Crucial. Investors who remain fully invested in the S&P 500 have achieved an 8.2% annualized return. Missing even the best single day or few days can wipe out gains and cause potential losses. Best practice? Take your emotion out of market swings and stay focused on the long-term.



WFH Trends. Work-from-home levels have stabilized around 30% since 2023, confirming it as a permanent feature of the labor market. This suggests that hybrid and remote work structures are here to stay, with implications for real estate, urban economies, and labor force dynamics, despite recent return-to-office mandates from several large companies.
