Q2 2019 Market Highlights
Economy and Market
At a Glance: Equity markets were broadly higher last quarter despite the ongoing trade tensions and disappointing economic data. The S&P 500 returned 4.3% during the quarter and 18.5% for the year. The market rally was driven mostly by the prospect of a Fed rate cut next month. While equity markets celebrated the chance of easy monetary policy, the bond market exhibited pessimism. The yield curve has been inverted for over a quarter, indicating a higher probability of recession.
Economy: Recent economic data have been mixed. On the positive side, Q1 GDP grew at a solid rate of 3.1%, unemployment remains at a historic low of 3.6%, and core inflation is right on target.

Fed Speak: The US Federal Reserve held rates steady in June at a target range of 2.25-2.5%. Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated that the case for accommodative policy increased as the global economy slowed. Traders are pricing in a 100% chance of at least a 25 bps cut in July, with a 36% chance of a 50 bps cut. Powell also emphasized the Fed's independence even as President Trump reportedly considered demoting the Chair for the Fed's inaction this year.
Domestic Equity
Market Cap and Style: Markets were up across the board this quarter, with many of the trends in Q1 persisting into Q2. Growth equities added to their lead over value by nearly 1% on the quarter and 5% for the year. Mid-Cap Growth was the best performing style, up 5% QTD and 26% YTD. Small-Cap and Value equities have lagged so far this year, with Micro-Cap rising ................
