As the threat of recession has waned, as illustrated by the lower betting odds of recession, stocks have rallied to new highs.

At the early April stock lows, the massive US tariffs announced on Liberation Day sent the betting odds of recession soaring to 65%. As the tariff threat eased and some progress was made on trade agreements, stocks have recovered sharply. The resiliency of the labor market and an expected economic boost from the tax cuts in the "Big Beautiful Bill" helped push the probability of an economic downturn closer to the lows of the year.
