Fund Commentary - 07/31/2025

MARKET
July was characterized by stronger-than-expected macroeconomic data, reinforcing a higher-for-longer rates narrative in fixed-income markets. Central banks expressed a more cautious tone, with the European Central Bank (ECB) signaling a pause in easing and the Federal Reserve continuing to highlight resilience in the labor market and consumer spending.

OUTLOOK
We expect uncertainty to remain elevated in the second half of the year. While final tariff rates are yet to be decided, effective rates are expected to be higher than what the global economy has experienced in recent decades, and the consequences of higher tariffs are still unclear. Investors have also become more concerned about fiscal policies, growing deficits, and debt sustainability. Despite the rise in uncertainty, economic data from major regions has continued to show resilience.
