The bond market had a relatively stable first week under President Trump, but traders are watching for any shifts in monetary policy from the Federal Reserve.

However, the market is still pricing in the possibility of higher interest rates in the future due to concerns about inflation and Trump's economic policies.

Despite contrary headwinds, the bull market continues to drive stocks to record highs. Long-term interest rates, Fed rate cut expectations, a strengthening US dollar, and elevated valuations are challenges, but earnings growth remains strong. Key economic data remains positive, including card spending, consumer sentiment, home sales, and wage gains. Surveys suggest cooling growth, but hard economic data remains robust. Analysts expect the US stock market to outperform the economy due to positive operating leverage. Investors should remain aware of risks but focus on the long-term outlook, which remains favorable.
