Q: Greetings,
I am honestly perplexed by the current performance of the S&P 500. I don't understand why the valuations are near all time highs. From my point of view the uncertainty with tariffs (now settling on with alot of baseline tariffs), the revision in the jobs report, the firing of people who report info the president doesn't like, and the pressure mounting on the federal reserve make the current price levels not make sense to me. Is it because the market is pricing in higher inflation or expects the tariffs to help the US economy? I understand the market is complex but would it be possible for you to shed some light so I can better understand why the market is as high as it is?
Thanks in advance,
Aidan
