It also affects the behavior of the balance portfolio, the backbone of wealth management, as it is based on the normal functioning of markets. We might be out of equilibrium for a while, until trade negotiations show a path to the desired rebalancing. Until then, we’ll be out of sync, with negative implications for traditional portfolio construction.
