During the week of May 12 – May 16, 2025, technology stocks experienced significant positive appreciation, driven in part by relaxed export restrictions and deal-making initiatives by President Trump (see Table 1).
Top-Performing Asset Classes:
The biggest loser for the week was gold, which experienced a decline after a period of record-setting gains. The outlook for gold is uncertain. Factors such as rising inflation, substantial and increasing government debt, and potential further credit rating downgrades could support higher gold prices in the future. Conversely, if the economy improves, tax revenues increase, and inflation remains under control, gold may continue to decline.
Worst-Performing Asset Classes:
Conclusion:
Asset class performance can be highly volatile and unpredictable from one week to the next. Just because gold has increased by 20% year-to-date does not guarantee continued gains in the coming weeks.
