### Market Overview: Q3 2025 Recap
Equity markets rebounded strongly in the third quarter of 2025, recovering from the tariff-driven volatility seen in April. Markets closed well above mid-year levels, reflecting renewed investor confidence.
As we approach the final stretch of the year, investors continue to navigate persistent geopolitical tensions, policy uncertainty, and inflation risks that could influence market dynamics going forward.
### Market Drivers
The rally was primarily fueled by strong performance in technology and artificial intelligence-related stocks. Additionally, a shift toward easing monetary policy helped lift markets higher.
However, certain portfolio decisions impacted returns. Notably, an overweight position in Union Pacific Corp. detracted from performance, as did the decision not to hold shares in Apple Inc. and NVIDIA Corp., two of the quarter’s best-performing stocks.
### Economic and Corporate Outlook
Solid economic data combined with strong corporate earnings have reinforced the attractiveness of U.S. assets. The prospect of easing monetary policies adds further support, helping to offset concerns related to inflation and geopolitical risks.
### A Time-Tested Approach to U.S. Blue-Chips
