August Market Recap
The bull market took a break in August.
Following five straight months of gains for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ, equities dipped last month as inflation numbers bobbed higher, bond yields increased, and markets digested some discouraging economic trends abroad.
July Market Recap
Just when it felt like things couldn’t get any better for the stock market, July delivered even more to feel good about.
June Market Recap
Those who have doubted the legitimacy of this stock market rally may be starting to doubt themselves. Either that, or they have already become believers.
May Market Recap
he stock market story reads considerably different in May depending on which benchmark you are looking at. One (the NASDAQ) catapulted significantly higher. One (the Dow) sank considerably lower. And one (the S&P 500) stayed flat. No word as to which index Goldilocks found most comfortable.
April Market Recap
April was relatively light on big financial headlines, at least compared to a month earlier, which led to a lot of sideways grinding for the major stock indices.
March Market Recap
How much impact does “desire” have on a particular outcome?
February Market Recap
None of us need to be reminded of high inflation or the laundry list of challenges that come with it. While the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) has fallen to 7.1%, the cost-of-living for Americans is still increasing at the fastest pace since the early 1980s. Inflation and high interest rates are undoubtedly real problems, but they do have some silver linings.
