Welcome to the Markets and Economic Update, provided by the Hancock Whitney Asset Management team as an informational resource for clients and individuals who are interested in hearing our perspectives on current economic issues.

   

Markets and Economic Update

 

July’s call begins with a discussion regarding the recent spike in COVID-19 cases, as well as a review of recent hospitalization and fatality trends. The possibility of further lock downs and the possible economic impacts of such were also discussed and how more widespread mask use could be a possible solution opposed to broad lock downs.

The commentary then shifts to job improvement and what this means for 2Q GDP and growth going forward.

Our dialogue then examines recent stock market performance and the perceived disconnect between the market and economic data, and why the market seems unaffected by the recent news.

Finally, we end with an update on fixed income markets.

Retire smart: Am I prepared?

A generation or two ago, the perception of retirement changed from a relatively short period of physical decline to “golden years” that offer opportunities for a new and exciting life. With Americans living longer, these golden years may now last 30 years or longer. Will you be prepared?

Retirement requires careful financial planning and preparation to lead to the “golden years” you envision. For all of us, preparing for retirement requires making the most of our working years, establishing financial priorities, preparing for the unexpected, reviewing and updating a financial plan along the way, and getting the right advice from a trusted advisor.
