Tensions Ease Ahead Of Critical Week
US equity markets resumed their recovery this week from the "liberation day" plunge after the White House negotiated trade deals with several nations and indicated plans to ease China tariffs. Trimming its drawdown to around 10% from its mid-February highs, the S&P 500 rallied 4.6% this week - erasing an early-week dip with four-straight days of gains. After posting significant outperformance last week, real estate equities were among the laggards this week despite a solid start to REIT earnings season and a much-needed retreat in benchmark rates.

Forget Gold, Buy Dividends - 3 Great Places To Buy Income
Gold is experiencing a strong rally, with rising demand due to economic uncertainty and market volatility. However, despite its appeal as a safe haven, I prefer dividend stocks over gold. Gold has a long history of preserving wealth, but it lacks the consistent returns and cash flow that dividend stocks provide. I believe high-quality dividend stocks are better investments. Real estate, energy, and utilities offer the highest yields, and I particularly favor midstream energy companies and safe net lease REITs. These stocks offer steady income and growth potential.

Bargain Yields: 3 Rock-Solid Dividends From 2 REITs And An MLP
Markets are volatile, driven by uncertainty. Fake news, tariffs and recession fears fuel swings. Even experts can't call the bottom, so I focus on durable yield. Dividends offer stability when prices crash. Research shows that cash flow eases panic. Safe payouts let me sleep at night while markets figure things out. I prefer high-quality stocks. They may not soar overnight, but steady income beats guessing games. In chaos, dividends are my anchor.
