It was a wild month for stock as they were battered in the first week of the month after 'Liberation Day' and fell to the lows on April 7. From there it was a choppy path back, culminating in a seven-day rally.

How much optimism about a trade deal is built in? We will have to wait and see.

On the month:

  • S&P 500 -0.8%
  • Nasdaq +0.8%
  • DJIA -3.2%
