2024 Mid-Year Review

Marc To Markets

The first half of the year was largely very productive for investors. Stocks reached new highs while bonds held steady with yields as high as we have seen in over a decade. I’ll cover the following topics and more:

• The performance of stock and bonds markets year-to-date;
• The outlook for inflation, the fed, and interest rates;
• What is driving the stock market higher and how to think about it going forward;
• Is AI a game changer for investing;
• How the election might impact the economy and markets.
