Between March 23 and March 30, U.S. equity markets steadied as investors assessed the recent decline and cautiously re-engaged with risk assets.
Equity markets found some stability as the intensity of recent selling diminished and select buyers returned to oversold positions. Major indexes traded with a more balanced tone, and volatility measures pulled back modestly from elevated levels. While the recovery was tentative, improved breadth in certain sectors suggested that the most acute phase of the drawdown may have been absorbed.
As March drew to a close, investors remained attentive to the evolving trade landscape and any macro signals that could influence the path forward. Positioning stayed cautious overall, though the stabilization in price action offered a degree of near-term relief. Markets closed the quarter on a guarded note, with participants focused on whether conditions would improve meaningfully as the new quarter began.
