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

   

Markets and Economic Update for November 

  • The US Economy is doing well. Third quarter GDP came in at 3.5%, in line with expectations. It was the second consecutive quarter with 3.5+% growth – two solid quarters, and the best since 2014. David Lundgren breaks down the numbers even further, and talks about what contributed to the positive quarter. 
  • If the economy is so strong, why is there such volatility in the stock market? Greg Hodlewsky discusses what he sees happening in the market today, and where we are going from here. 
  • China is in the headlines every day, and if it’s not the main factor, it’s a major contributing factor to the stock market volatility. Paul Teten gives his thoughts on some of the reasons that US and China are having difficult negotiations, how it’s impacting the market, and what we can see in the upcoming months. 
  • Does the Fed look at the market volatility as a reason to pause? Jeff Tanguis talks about the bond market and the Fed, and how they may react to the environment we are operating in today. 
  • Finally, the result of the mid-term elections could have a major impact on the market and economy. Richard Chauvin talks about the expected outcome and what sort of market reaction could occur. Note: The Markets and Economic Update for November was recorded on the morning of November 6, 2018, prior to the outcome of the mid-term elections.

She Is...Looking Forward: New Orleans native Liz Hefler embraces new Hancock Whitney leadership role and continued community service

Liz Hefler reached a bit of a crossroads during her time as an economics major at the University of Virginia.

Like many of her classmates, Hefler strongly considered working in the investment sector after graduation. But, a less-than-ideal internship experience made her question that career path and wonder what was next.

“My parents wanted me to come back to New Orleans and encouraged me to pursue a career in traditional finance,” she recalled. “I followed that advice and started at Hancock Whitney right after I graduated. At the time, I thought I would eventually leave to work in a different industry. But, at Hancock Whitney, I was surrounded by a great group of mentors and teammates, plus clients who were entertaining and fun. Twenty years later, I’m still here and I still love it.”

The Dream of Financial Prosperity and How We Are Supporting Our Communities in Achieving It

As we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and reflect on his dream of a more equitable society, it is crucial to acknowledge the persistent challenges that the Black community faces, particularly in achieving financial wellness and building generational wealth. The racial wealth gap remains a stark reality, underscoring the need for concerted efforts to foster economic empowerment and uplift Black Americans across the country.
