06/11/25 - US Markets Wrap: Tariffs, Tech and Turbulence: Markets Find Their FootingU.S. equities bounced back midweek as investors cheered signs that the Supreme Court may be open to reining in former President Trump’s sweeping tariffs. Hopes of a rollback boosted trade-exposed sectors while chipmakers like AMD led a rebound in the AI complex after a bout of valuation jitters. However, with the government shutdown now the longest in U.S. history and key federal programs grinding to a halt, the question is whether this market resilience can last. Alex Morris, CEO of F/m Investments, discusses how investors are navigating a mix of legal drama, policy paralysis, and signs of a still-stubborn labor market.
