CEOs are expressing increasing confidence and displaying resilience as they navigate a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape, according to the latest EY CEO Outlook, with ongoing volatility acting as a catalyst to rethink supply chains, business models, markets and investment priorities. The research, which involved more than 1200 CEOs globally, including 40 senior CEOs here in Ireland, found that while global economic sentiment remains muted, with almost six in ten (57%) of global CEOs expecting geopolitical and economic uncertainty to last well beyond a year, Irish CEOs are notably more confident in their own performance. Six in ten (60%) Irish CEOs expect profitability over the next year, while sentiment in relation to revenue growth is also positive. This confidence stems from a pragmatic but proactive approach to strategy, with leaders increasingly prioritising AI and automation, business model transformation and capability-building through M&A. Particularly notable is the focus from Irish CEOs on regionalisation, with 77% saying that producing and sourcing closer to home has become a long-term strategy. Seven in ten (70%) CEOs have placed regionalisation at the core of their strategy, across operations, supply chains, research and technology. While Irish CEOs remain confident, the survey also provides some cautionary signals, as they are facing a complex mix of financial and operational pressures. Notably, nearly eight in ten (78%) cited optimism around input costs, up from 48% in May. However, the cost of energy was cited as an area of particular concern, with 50% of leaders saying it is directly affecting operational performance. Regulatory complexity is another challenge, with a third citing competing regulations as a barrier to change. Talent constraints are another key area of concern, with confidence in the ability to attract and retain talent declining sharply from 55% in the previous research to just 35%. The drop is most pronounced in high-demand sectors, particularly those requiring digital and technical skills. Globally, most CEOs anticipate that prolonged uncertainty will persist, with 57% of CEOs expecting uncertainty to last beyond a year. Despite this, the survey's CEO Confidence Index - which measures sentiment across strategy, operations, and investment- stands at 83, up seven points since May. Helena O'Dwyer, Partner and Head of Strategy at EY-Parthenon Ireland, said: "Our latest CEO survey finds that, in spite of the ongoing global geopolitical and economic headwinds, CEOs are expressing confidence in their organisation's future and their ability to lead through uncertainty. Following a period earlier this year when many firms adopted a 'wait and see' approach, we are now seeing a shift toward action. Nearly six in ten Irish CEOs say they plan to increase investment in portfolio transformation and strategic M&A over the next 12 months. What stands out from our conversations with clients is a clear focus on divesting assets that are no longer delivering value, simplifying operations, and sharpening core capabilities. As geopolitical change reshapes global trade flows, regionalisation is emerging as a cornerstone of strategy. Interestingly, CEOs view this shift to regionalisation and localisation not as a temporary adjustment, but as a long-term strategic move, with leaders reconfiguring supply chains and operations to stay closer to customers and reduce global exposure." Building for performance and resilience Irish CEOs are backing their confidence with action. Beyond those accelerating transformations (58% are planning to reshape their business this year), a further 40% plan to maintain current investment levels, signalling a sustained commitment to reshaping business portfolios. Funding strategies are measured; many are turning to debt or divesting non-core assets, while internal growth continues to be a key driver. Mergers, acquisitions and partnerships remain central to CEO strategy, with 98% ...

Markets sold off, then rallied back to even after the Fed announced its first rate move in nine months. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq are showing early signs of rounded tops, but both are likely to set fresh all-time highs today. Volatility continues to compress, hitting new lows — but that calm may not last. Tomorrow brings one of the largest options expirations ever, setting the stage for heightened volatility as quarter-end re-balancing also comes into play. The dollar rallied on the Fed's cut, while the Magnificent 7 saw mixed performance, with some under-performing as money rotated into defensive names. Today could bring the opposite rotation, back into offensive growth stocks. Bottom line: risk management is key. Taking profits where possible makes sense in this environment, with no need for major portfolio shifts until the next wave of volatility hits.

Griffin Warner and Lonte Smith talk CFB betting for Week 4. Early Reflections (0:32 – 4:26) Griffin celebrated the “first 2-0 of the season.” Lonte added, “Great weekend for us going 2-0… all the big games delivered.” Griffin recalled missing Tennessee-Georgia moments at an Arkansas watch party, while Lonte defended his Southern Miss pick, saying they “dominated this game” over App State. Market Volatility (4:27 – 6:40) Griffin called college line swings “chaos compared to the NFL or MLB.” Lonte noted CLV matters only “55% on three-plus moves.” Utah vs. Texas Tech (6:40 – 11:07) Utah's “60% rush success rate” and Morton's road issues (“80 grade at home, under 60 away”) led Lonte to lean Utah/under, projecting “23-20.” Griffin agreed: Utah -3. Michigan vs. Nebraska (11:43 – 14:33) Underwood's 114 yards, 2 TDs boost Michigan vs. Nebraska's weak run defense (“outside top 120 EPA”). Lonte leaned Huskers as home dogs; Griffin backed that angle. Auburn vs. Oklahoma (16:09 – 19:13) Auburn's defense “first in rush success rate allowed.” Lonte called for “23-20 or 20-17,” taking Auburn +6.5 and under. Griffin agreed, eyeing +7. Illinois vs. Indiana (20:21 – 25:02) Illinois' veteran team and Duke road win contrasted with Indiana QB Mendoza, who “struggles against blitz and man coverage.” Lonte liked Illinois +4.5/over. Best Bets (26:03 – 31:12) Lonte: UConn -21 (UConn “top 15 in success rate” vs. Ball State's defense “outside top 110”). Griffin: Utah -3 (trust in home edge, QB splits). Takeaway Defense, weak schedules, and market inefficiencies drove every angle. Player stats (Underwood's rushing, UConn's efficiency) and team metrics (Auburn's #1 defense) shaped sharp Week 4 picks.

Stocks head into today's session on edge as the risk lies to the downside if the Fed disappoints. Adding to the mix, a record options expiration Friday could bring heightened volatility for the rest of the week. Money flows continue to chase equities, but the biggest rallies have come from the most-shorted stocks. International and emerging markets are also showing strong momentum, with many trading well above their moving averages. Still, a widening gap persists between S&P equal-weight and market-cap indexes, as AI-driven tech remains the primary driver of gains. Meanwhile, bond yields keep sliding as markets price in rate cuts, but that message may be signaling deeper economic concerns. Are stocks right to keep rallying, or is the bond market flashing the real warning?

Market Volatility and Inflation Insights: A Mid-Week Market Recap In this episode of Dividend Cafe, Brian Szytel reports from West Palm Beach, Florida, with a mid-week market update recorded on Wednesday, September 10. The recap highlights mixed performance across markets as a result of the latest Producer Price Index (PPI) numbers, which showed a surprising decline of 0.1% against the expected 0.3% increase. The DOW fell by 0.5%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq registered minor gains and flat performance, respectively. The segment also delves into the significant decrease in year-over-year inflation rates and previews upcoming key economic data, including the Consumer Price Index (CPI) and initial jobless claims. Additionally, the script addresses concerns regarding high market valuations and the prudent approach to market exposure. Brian also references historical market behavior to caution against rash decisions based on short-term indicators. 00:00 Introduction and Market Overview 00:56 Producer Price Index and Market Reactions 02:13 Upcoming Economic Indicators 02:25 Labor Market Insights 03:07 Valuations and Market Strategies 05:52 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com
Key Takeaways: The options yield curve is a powerful tool: It offers a way to earn high returns in today's markets, providing a modern alternative to old interest-rate-based strategies. Sell options on liquid assets: Selling options on assets like Bitcoin or the S&P 500 can be like running a renewable energy plant—using market ups and downs to create steady income. Read market emotions and patterns: Knowing how emotions, seasonal trends, and the volatility risk premium work can help you time your investments better.

Is the 60/40 portfolio living up to its reputation of resilience this year? The merit of a classic portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds has been a matter of debate in recent years. A diversified 60/40 strategy failed to protect investors in 2022's broad market crash—in fact, an all-stock portfolio would have held up better. However, a historical deep dive from Morningstar concluded that the tried-and-true approach lessened the pain in almost all of the worst market crashes in 150 years better than an all-stock portfolio. Morningstar Inc Portfolio Strategist Amy Arnott discusses the 60/40 portfolio's ups and downs and its performance in 2025.On this episode:What is a 60/40 portfolio, and why is it popular? We often hear claims that the 60/40 portfolio is “dead” or obsolete. Why does it get criticized so much? Some of that criticism flared up in 2022. Why was the performance so bad for the 60/40 portfolio that year? Volatility has rocked the markets in 2025. How has the classic investment strategy done so far this year? Are there any asset classes that have performed better so far in 2025? Why? And which ones have struggled? Interest rates are sitting above 4%, but market watchers are anticipating the Federal Reserve will cut rates in September. What could that mean for the fixed-income part of the 60/40 portfolio? How do you think the 60/40 portfolio will perform over the next few years? Should people still rely on the 60/40 portfolio, or is another strategy better like the 70/30 or 50/30/20, which can be a mix of stocks, bonds, and alternatives? The tried-and-true strategy has proved its worth. So, what's the final takeaway for current retirees, future retirees, or anyone seeking less risk?Read about topics from this episode.

Have you ever caught yourself just waiting for the next economic downturn, a family milestone, or the "right moment" to act? Just wait for the market to crash. Just wait until your kids hit middle school, or high school—or college—and then just wait for the real challenges to begin. I hear it constantly in the financial world and in conversations with fellow parents. And I've come to realize this phrase—"just wait"—is one of the sneakiest ways we let anxiety and fear rob us of the joy in front of us. I'm diving into why "just waiting" is often a trap—whether it's about what the markets might do or what life could throw our way. Instead of waiting for the next shoe to drop, what if we shifted our mindset to "just do it"? What if we focused on investing in our families, finances, and relationships right now? If you're tired of feeling stuck in the cycle of worry and anticipation, this episode is for you. Let's talk about how to stop waiting and start living.

Investors are piling into global gold ETFs for a safe haven from uncertainty. Demand surged in the first half of 2025, according to a new report from the World Gold Council.
