Investor Update

The S&P 500 moved largely sideways in July, ending the month 0.1% below June’s close. The broader market trend remains supported by continued economic growth, inflation, and relatively strong leading indicators. Our concerns about market caution in the second half of 2026 remain relevant, particularly given softer economic expectations for 2027. However, resilient leading indicators suggest that any potential weakness may be delayed, potentially into early next year.
