The second quarter delivered a powerful reminder that markets often move well ahead of the prevailing narrative. While uncertainty remain elevated, equity markets rebounded sharply, corporate earnings exceeded expectations, and investor confidence gradually returned. The S&P 500 gained approximately 15% during the quarter, marking one of the strongest quarterly advances since 2020. Meanwhile, broadening market participation and continued economic resilience provided support beneath the surface of the rally.
As always, the lesson is not that markets are predictable. Rather, it is that patience continues to be rewarded.
