Market Thoughts- December 2016


Brad McMillan, Commonwealth’s CIO, discusses the market reaction to November’s election upset. Everyone thought markets would sell off after a Trump victory, and they did for a few hours before rallying strongly. Although the reaction around the world has been less favorable, U.S. fundamentals are sound, and with the uncertainty of the election behind us, the economy and markets are free to do even better. Nothing’s guaranteed, but as headwinds turn to tailwinds, we may see even more acceleration.
