Submitted by Ralicki Wealth Management & Trust Services on May 11th, 2017

It is still thumbs up on the jobs front, with the nation’s employment rolls increasing by a better-than-expected 235,000 in February. That put the average monthly gain at 209,000 for the past quarter and at 196,000 for the latest 12 months.

It is all coming together on the economic front, following an underwhelming 2016. True, the economy did strengthen in the second half of last year. But much of that pickup stemmed from a surge in exports in the third quarter, which was to be reversed in the final period. Now, the upturn is more uniform and likely sustainable.

ECONOMIC AND STOCK MARKET COMMENTARY

The nation’s economy is clearly holding its own as we move through the early weeks of 2017. In fact, in certain respects, things look better now than they did three months ago.

11 Straight Dow Wins

Submitted by Ralicki Wealth Management & Trust Services on February 27th, 2017

Wow! The Dow Industrials made a "Tom Brady" move late yesterday.

What a difference a year makes. For example, 12 months ago, the economy was under pressure from softening oil and commodity markets and consequent declines in business capital investment.

A couple of weeks ago, a March 15 Fed rate hike was "dead in the water." But 2 strong inflation reports, plus a strong equity market, has put a March increase back on the table. Although the doves still have the upper hand now, the hawks are making a run.
