The first three months of the new year proved to be an extension of 2023 – large technology stocks leading the way with some sizzle provided by companies tied to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and bouts of interest rate volatility keeping markets on edge. Economic data continued to surpass consensus expectations with some experts now suggesting that the US economy might sail past a hard or even a soft landing without a pause – a prospect on no one’s radar until recently.
It’s a new year! Though not as newsworthy as geopolitics, the presidential election, or the eclipse, the sunset of many favorable tax provisions upon the close of 2025 is a topic worthy of your review now.

It is understandable that investors started the year in a downbeat mood, given the miserable stock and bond returns of 2022. Many doubted that the Federal Reserve could orchestrate a “soft landing” – conquering inflation without beating up the economy.
