'Extreme volatility is behind us': Why some Wall Street experts suggest investors take a summer break

Stocks have bounced sharply off their spring lows following Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcements, and some Wall Street pros say the worst may be over, setting the stage for a relatively calm summer session. "The volatility is going to continue. ... But I think the extreme volatility is behind us," Solidarity Capital CEO Jeff McClean told Yahoo Finance in an interview on Wednesday. Between range-bound price action, a lack of clear direction from the Fed, and headline fatigue out of Washington, investors might be better off stepping away, according to McClean — at least until clearer signals emerge. "This summer, volatility is going to be a bit more muted as people check out of the daily news that's been triggering a lot of the tariff-related noise," he said. Since hitting its April low, the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC) has climbed roughly 20%, led by a swift rebound in beaten-down sectors like Communication Services (XLC), Consumer Discretionary (XLY), and Technology (XLK). Will McGough, deputy chief investment officer at Prime Capital Financial, echoed the view that markets may stay quiet through the summer, noting even long-term Treasury yields, a top concern in recent weeks, have remained mostly range-bound between 4% and 5%, despite ongoing noise out of Washington. "My recommendation right now is to enjoy the summer," he said. "There's not really anything that's going to get us excited about that range being broken substantially to the upside or downside," he added, noting the lack of significant, near-term catalysts likely to move markets meaningfully. Of course, plenty of events could keep investors busy in the coming months, from the Fed's Jackson Hole symposium in August and a crucial tariff deadline in early July to upcoming Fed meetings shaping rate-cut expectations and the progress of Trump's "big, beautiful bill" through the Senate. But so far, traditional market drivers like earnings, economic data, and Fed policy are taking a back seat to politics. "It's a fascinating market environment," McGough said. "D.C. is driving a lot of trickle-down effects through the stock market and with the fundamentals of stocks through trade policy."

He described the current correction as "manufactured," largely shaped by President Trump's trade decisions. Still, the broader backdrop remains promising. "I do think the second quarter is going to surprise on the upside yet again," Andrew Slimmon, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley, told Yahoo Finance on Thursday, citing strong earnings expectations and a stable economy. "I wouldn't be surprised if markets [return to] an all-time high." Slimmon cautioned, however, that the current setup isn't as favorable as it was in early April, when stocks were coming off steep losses and volatility was high. Back then, even modest good news sparked strong, V-shaped rebounds. But after a 20% rally in the benchmark index and a quieter VIX (^VIX), markets may be more vulnerable to negative surprises — a key reminder that while summer could remain calm, investors' breaks might still be cut short.

Trump and Musk aides have spoken amid pause in hostilities

The shaky detente in the social media strife between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk is holding following a call between representatives for both sides Friday, according to two White House officials. 'He's stopped posting, but that doesn't mean he's happy,' one of the officials said about Trump's Truth Social hiatus with Musk. 'The future of their relationship is totally uncertain,' added the official, who was granted anonymity to speak freely. Both men have paused their war of words that included Musk suggesting the president be impeached and Trump threatening to cut off federal contracts for the billionaire's companies. But neither wanted to, according to the two officials familiar with the reaction of both men. A spokesperson for Musk did not return a message seeking comment. Trump was particularly peeved by Musk insinuating the president was tied to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, claiming Trump was 'in the Epstein files.' It's long been public that Trump and other prominent figures are referenced in documents released in court cases surrounding Epstein, though Trump has not been accused of any wrongdoing linked to Epstein. But Musk's boast that Trump couldn't have won without his support, including over a quarter-billion dollars in political contributions – is what really set the president spinning, the two officials continued. 'Such ingratitude,' Musk wrote on X after taking credit from Trump's victory in November. The feud came as the president and Republican leaders tried to shoulder through a major package of domestic policy legislation, which could be the biggest legislative achievement of Trump's second term. Musk criticized the so-called megabill for having a 'MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK.' When reached for comment, press secretary Karoline Leavitt told POLITICO, 'As President Trump has said himself, he is moving forward focused on passing the One Big Beautiful Bill.' The relationship began to sour before the dueling social media posts erupted last week. Trump was upset about what he saw as Musk overselling DOGE's inability to make massive cuts in the federal bureaucracy. Then the White House pulled the nomination for Jared Isaacman, the billionaire's pick to lead NASA, which was one of the final tethers in a tenuous alliance. White House personnel director Sergio Gor, who was behind that move, has had a long-simmering tension with the billionaire, according to both White House officials. Musk refused to work with Gor after a March Cabinet meeting where the president told his agency heads they were in charge of their departments — not Musk, who was in the room. That meeting happened after the Tesla founder set off a series of mass firings and warnings to government workers that in turn triggered lawsuits and criticism from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. While most lawmakers and Republican operatives agree that Trump ultimately has the upper hand should their feud reignite, there's never been an adversary quite like Musk: the world's richest man with an online megaphone to rival the presidential bully pulpit.
