Commerce Trust Look at the Markets
Third Quarter 2025
Visual insights into economic and market trends
The administration’s priorities have remained focused around trade tariffs, immigration, and policy. In the second quarter we saw a V-shaped market reaction to the tariff announcements in U.S. equity markets, leading to a downturn and equally dramatic upturn as some of the tariff announcements moderated. In the third quarter, we are keeping track of the dollar’s weakness and its impact on equities.
