October 2025 Market & Economic Update: A Shortened Review Amid a Government Shutdown
This month’s Market & Economic Update looks a little different. With the government still shut down, the flow of official economic data has temporarily paused — meaning many of the indicators we normally review haven’t been updated.
In this shortened report, Jim Kruzan, CFP®, CRPC®, shares what we can see clearly: how the markets ended October, why valuations remain elevated, and how the “Magnificent Seven” continue to influence overall returns.
Once the government reopens and the numbers catch up, we’ll revisit the broader economic picture in a future update.
