Watch our webinar below: 2025 Midyear Outlook: Pragmatic Optimism, Measured Expectations.
This webinar covers market insights on what we can expect from the economy, stocks, bonds, and more through year end.
Get timely insights to help you plan confidently for the rest of the year. This webinar offers an in-depth look at market trends, economic expectations, and key factors shaping the investment landscape through year-end.
We started 2025 on a strong note, while knowing that no market environment is permanent and that change can happen quickly. This year, change has brought more volatility.
Policy decisions have played a big role in market trends. Uncertainty around trade policy affected the stock market in the first half of the year and is expected to continue shaping it in the second half.
LPL Research expects slower economic growth, a weaker job market, and slightly higher inflation in the second half of the year as the effects of trade policy appear. This will make the Federal Reserve’s job more difficult as it works to balance inflation and employment. As a result, interest rates will likely stay higher for longer.
We’ll help you make sense of what’s ahead and what it could mean for your financial decisions.
