With Donald Trump still engaged in a trade war with China and tariff hikes for the rest of the world on hold for the next 90 days, turbulent market conditions are here to stay. Here's where six professionals would invest right now.
Under the mattress right now lol
With Donald Trump’s renewed tariff escalations on China and a 90-day pause elsewhere, we’ve entered a highly fragile phase of global market dynamics — one where sentiment is driving volatility more than fundamentals. In times like these, those who lead portfolios — not just manage them — understand that reacting to every market movement isn’t strategy; it’s noise. A bullish pivot into equities might capture a short-term bounce, but sophisticated capital rarely chases headlines. Instead, the focus turns to capital preservation, income stability, and measured opportunity. We're now seeing institutional flows lean into government-backed, fixed-income instruments — not as a retreat, but as a realignment. Real yield with low risk is no longer the undercard — it’s the main event. In a market with no true safeguard against policy-driven disruption, controlling what you can — security, transparency, and consistency — becomes paramount. It’s not about betting on what’s next. It’s about positioning with purpose.
