Markets have been shaken by a sharp selloff, with the S&P 500 down around 15% and the Nasdaq nearly 20% year-to-date. Much of the recent volatility is being driven by escalating trade tensions and a new round of tariffs that took effect on April 9.
In this episode, Kevin Kroskey, CFP®, and Tyler Emrick, CFA®, CFP®, unpack what’s driving the recent market moves — from global supply chain disruptions to shifting investor sentiment and international dynamics.
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
📉 Why the market hates uncertainty—and how that’s showing up now
⚖️ Risk vs. uncertainty: what’s the difference and why it matters
🔁 How “Runway” helps retirees avoid emotional investment decisions
🧰 Strategies we’re using: rebalancing, dry powder, diversification
🧠 What to do (and not do) when tempted to time the market
