Your Monthly CURator

Hello Marianna,

I hope that you’ve had a wonderful Summer so far, making the most of your time with family, friends and the beautiful sunshine.

As we navigate through these warm months, I’ve noted that many of you are embracing the spirit of adventure. Exploring local gems in your hometown, traveling all over the U.S., and touring Europe (among other incredible destinations)! I’d love to hear about your adventures, so please give us a call to reminisce or send photos our way!

In early June, I was fortunate enough to visit Half Moon Bay, California, and a few of my favorite local spots in the PA/NJ area. rea. My time in California was full of picturesque views, time with Commonwealth friends, advisors and management team, AND a winery or two. 😉

Below I share some of my tips for easier traveling. I hope this newsletter brings you joy and inspiration for future adventures of your own!

Until next time,

Marianna

Insights From Our CIO: Market Thoughts

August 2023

Brad McMillan, Commonwealth’s CIO, recaps July’s market and economic news. U.S. indices were up by low single digits in July, with the Nasdaq doing best as tech stocks continued to rally. International markets also did well, but fixed income was weaker. This market performance reflected the underlying economy. Strong job creation pushed consumer confidence up significantly, supporting income and spending growth. Inflation continued its decline, although the Fed raised rates again as expected. Will this improvement continue? Stay tuned to find out. Follow Brad at blog.commonwealth.com/independent-market-observer.
