BMT ECONOMIC & MARKET QUARTERLY, SUMMER 2018:Global Economic Growth Divergence
The Summer issue of BMT Wealth Management’s Economic & Market Quarterly analyzes economic growth in the United States, economic conditions internationally, and the recent performance of domestic equities (comparing the S&P 500 to international indices) and the fixed income markets. It also offers our outlook for the economy and financial markets going forward. Economic growth is showing no visible signs of abating in the United States. This is in spite of all the negative headlines surrounding tariff impositions and the threats of a global trade war between some of America’s largest trading partners. In fact, a case could be made that U.S. economic growth is accelerating, which is almost unfathomable, given that it has been roughly nine years since the end of the last recession.
