  <title>IWP - Market Update - July 2025</title>
  <description>Link to IWP's July 2025 Update (PDF) https://tinyurl.run/PHjq3Z With geopolitical tensions easing, where are the markets turning their attention now? Our July Market and Economic Update breaks down the key shifts we're seeing. &amp;amp;nbsp; This month's key points: &amp;amp;nbsp; A Calmer Global Outlook: Easing geopolitical tensions and a stable ceasefire between Israel and Iran have provided a supportive backdrop for markets. This sentiment has helped drive global equities higher, with the S&amp;amp;amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100 approaching their all-time highs. &amp;amp;nbsp; Shift to Domestic Policy: As global risks subside, market focus is pivoting to US domestic policy. Federal Reserve Chair Powell's recent comments have reinforced expectations for interest rate cuts later this year. &amp;amp;nbsp; Policy in Focus: In Washington, President Trump is advancing the US tax and spending bill, which is expected to remove or weaken the &amp;quot;revenge tax&amp;quot; on non-US investors—a welcome development for the market. Progress on trade negotiations ahead of a July 9 deadline has also improved sentiment. &amp;amp;nbsp; Overall, the reduction in geopolitical risk premiums has led to lower oil prices and low market volatility. While the outlook is positive, rising US inflation remains a key factor that could potentially delay policy easing. &amp;amp;nbsp; Should you prefer this in video form, please head to  https://youtu.be/CnpIMJnWqUI?si=wbnMXKP67xOfY9xZ </description>
