Market Overview
Welcome back to The Wealth Catchers' watchlist. The month of May was a bright one for investors as we saw the market overall close out convincingly in the green. We saw a lot of "buy the dip" activity that pushed all the indices higher, with the NASDAQ leading the charge, being up 7.92%. Even the small caps rallied as we saw the Russell 2000 close out up 4.58% on the month. The market reacted positively to the pause on tariffs with China and the EU. Granted these pauses are only for 90 days, so we still have some great uncertainty in the market. It also may be seen as investors are not taking these tariff announcements as seriously as many think they should. The term TACO trade (Trump Always Chickens Out) has many investors pouncing on stocks once Trump announces a tariff that causes a selloff. The belief is, based on his previous actions, that he will not see it through and stocks will rally again once he announces a pause or a deal. So far it seems to be paying off for investors. As investors, we need to try to ensure we are in a position to take advantage of opportunities when they arise. As we saw with April, the market gave us great deals, and we saw a majority of those pay off. Always be on the lookout for deals on quality names and pay attention to the environment we are in. We are currently in an uncertain environment for the entire market, which will give us broad deals from time to time. Be aware of your indicators, such as the Fear and Greed Index, that will give you insight into market sentiment. Don't let the pundits and talking heads shake you out of your positions. Approach your investments with a long-term horizon and understand your risk tolerance.
Crypto & Digital Assets
Keep in mind international trade is still very much in play, as we still see ex-US stocks outperform the U.S. market. Also be mindful of what names are negatively impacted by this uncertainty around trade policy and also the ongoing wars we are still dealing with and how they may still impact markets. And please do not forget about Bitcoin. We saw this asset hit a new all-time high of $112,000 after we saw it fall below $80,000 in April. From April to the end of May, Bitcoin rose a little over 25%. The crypto market cap is currently at $3.3 trillion.
