U.S. Market Volatility and Global Opportunities

In a rare market pattern, stocks, bonds and the dollar have all moved lower together, signaling deeper concerns about confidence in U.S. economic leadership.

In the latest episode of The Wealth Enterprise BriefingMichael Zeuner and Sam Sudame of WE Family Offices discuss how rising tariffs, questions around the Federal Reserve’s independence and broader policy uncertainty are reshaping global investor sentiment.

Key discussion points include:

  • Why simultaneous declines across major U.S. assets are a sign of eroding confidence, not just temporary volatility
  • How overexposure to U.S. assets may heighten vulnerabilities for long-term investors
  • Why reforms in Japan and broader shifts in global markets deserve renewed attention

Michael and Sam emphasize the importance of maintaining diversification across asset classes and geographies, and discuss why a disciplined approach is critical to positioning portfolios for the shifts taking place in today’s macroeconomic environment.

As always, if you have any questions or would like to discuss how these developments may impact your family’s wealth enterprise, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
