In a new episode of the Conversations with Commerce Trust podcast, Chief Investment Officer and host David Hagee is joined by Scott Colbert, Chief Economist and Director of Fixed Income Management; and KC Mathews, Chief Market Strategist; to discuss insights on the economic and market landscape as we head into the new year, as well as opportunities for investors for 2025. 

Topics include: 

·         The likelihood of moderating economic growth in 2025 due to sustained higher interest rates and less federal stimulus. 

·         The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy will play a crucial role in shaping the year ahead, as well as possible changes in tariffs and immigration policies under a second Trump administration.

·         Equities are poised to continue their positive trajectory, as broader market participation is a projected theme for domestic equities in 2025. 


·         Within fixed income securities, compelling yields remain in place for investment-grade bonds, offering investors portfolio diversification opportunities.
