HIGHLIGHTS

U.S. equities remain under pressure, with long-term technical indicators in a sell signal and valuations that RiskBridge believes may still be stretched.

Bonds have outperformed stocks year-to-date, but RiskBridge notes that if yields rise again, downside risk could return to fixed income markets.

GDP expectations have dropped sharply—RiskBridge now estimates U.S. growth at 0.8% for 2025, with a projected 50% probability of recession.

Inflation cooled in March, but tariffs and trade dynamics could still drive a secondary wave of pricing pressure later this year.

The U.S. dollar is flashing a long-term sell signal, signaling what RiskBridge views as a meaningful shift in global capital positioning.

Markets are pricing in five Fed rate cuts by year-end, but RiskBridge remains skeptical, citing conflicting macro forces that could limit policy flexibility.
