The Soft(ish) Landing Meets a September to Remember
"Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence."
- Vince Lombardi
A busy September is set to feature interest rate cuts, more AI scrutiny, and political debates. While incoming data has been mixed, it is not collapsing, and the global cutting cycle should help reinforce a slow, but non-recessionary backdrop. While we continue to see far more volatility in asset prices than the underlying earnings and economic estimates, odds favor the busy September will continue that trend. How should investors navigate the tricky backdrop? Are there any new catalysts or concerns? As always, we defer to our technical, fundamental, and macro disciplines to assess the risks and guide our outlook.
