Here we are, at the midpoint of 2024. If we had to provide one word that defines the first
half, it would be resilience. That resilience has continued to fuel the trends we saw in late
2023 – economic growth mixed with stubborn, but decelerating inflation. It’s tempting
to say the growth trajectory will continue, but we believe the economy will soften in the
second half, which will naturally have domino effects across the investing arena.
From the markets and upcoming U.S. election to the conflicts overseas and everything
tied to these things, it’s a lot to make sense of. That’s exactly why LPL Research created
this report. Full of insights and potential action steps, it’s specifically geared for you – so
