RADNOR, PA — Lincoln Financial Group (NYSE: LNC) has released its third quarter edition of Market Intel Exchange, an in-depth chartbook and report offering investors a data-driven look at current market and economic trends. Developed by Lincoln’s in-house research team in collaboration with leading asset managers, the Q3 report provides timely insights aimed at helping investors navigate a challenging but opportunity-rich environment.
The new edition focuses on balancing potential economic headwinds and tailwinds, with a close eye on evolving policy shifts in Washington, D.C. Following a late-2024 rally sparked by optimism around new policy directions, investor sentiment has shifted into a more measured stance in 2025. According to Lincoln’s analysis, markets are weighing a mix of opportunities and risks, including persistent trade tensions, federal deficit challenges, and broader policy uncertainty.
A central topic this quarter is tax policy, particularly in relation to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. While expanded tax cuts for individuals and businesses have generally buoyed investor sentiment, concerns remain over the potential for an increasing federal deficit. Such worries could introduce new pressures on interest rates and spark caution among market participants.
Interestingly, the report points to a historical pattern where periods of heightened policy uncertainty have been followed by stronger-than-average U.S. stock returns. This “upside of uncertainty” underscores the importance of maintaining a disciplined, long-term perspective rather than reacting impulsively to short-term headlines.
“As we enter the back half of 2025, the tone from investors is one of cautious optimism,” said Jayson Bronchetti, Chief Investment Officer at Lincoln Financial. “Markets and the broader economy have shown an encouraging level of resilience despite a complex mix of uncertainty stemming from trade and tariff concerns, interest rates, global conflicts, and more. At Lincoln, we are committed to delivering timely, actionable insights that help financial professionals guide their clients toward their long-term financial goals.”
Overall, the Q3 Market Intel Exchange positions itself as a vital tool for investors seeking clarity in a volatile environment. By offering comprehensive analysis backed by rigorous data, Lincoln aims to equip advisors and their clients with strategies to stay focused and capitalize on emerging opportunities despite market noise.
