Just as Buzz Lightyear confidently proclaimed: “To infinity and beyond,” so the U.S. equity markets ran with that directive at the start of the second quarter of 2026. On April 15th, the S&P 500 closed above 7,000 points for the first time, and the index has notched 23 all-time highs since the start of the year.
As the quarter concluded, major headlines, including those concerning financial markets, focused on the Middle East conflict. On February 28th, President Trump launched Operation Epic Fury, a joint U.S.-Israel military incursion targeting Iranian nuclear and missile infrastructure as well as key officials.
In his 1932 novel Brave New World, Aldous Huxley, the English writer and philosopher, wrote that, “…human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.” As we close out 2025, we express gratitude for our clients and the opportunities that have contributed to success and growth during our first full year as Wealth Oklahoma.
