Investors, it’s time to power up! This quarter, we are taking a trip down memory lane to look back at classic video games like Tetris and Pac-Man to explain our views on the economy and financial markets.
Driven in part by artificial intelligence, large cap tech stocks continue to grow. However, like in a video game, the higher the level, the greater the upcoming challenge! Meanwhile the US Federal Reserve is balancing fighting inflation with limiting a potential slowdown in economic activity. Presidential contenders Biden and Trump are hurling campaign rhetoric at each other ahead of the 2024 election, and oil prices are bouncing between the forces of supply and demand.
Whether you are in a fantasy gaming world or the real-life investment world, you need to be prepared and ready for any challenges that come your way. In our latest Quarterly Coordinates webinar, we go to The Next Level Up!

- Fed moves as they look set to cut interest rates as they appear to have ‘blocked’ inflation
- If the tech-related sectors can ‘score’ again this year

Summer break is over and it’s time for a reset. Heading into the fall, the biggest economic questions are: Will the resilient US economy stumble into a recession and how high will the Fed take interest rates? The answer to these questions will have profound impacts on both the bond and equity markets. Second quarter earnings may have come in better than expected, but the real story was in the trends that are unfolding and corporate guidance. And as politicians come back to work after their summer recess, there are rumblings of government funding disagreements that may lead to another spending showdown at the end of September. To top it off, the 2024 election season is officially underway. Guest speakers: Eugenio J. Alemán, Ph.D., Chief Economist; Tracey Manzi, Senior Investment Strategist; Ed Mills, Managing Director, Washington Policy Analyst and Matt Barry, Investment Strategy Analyst.
