Client Newsletter – Quarter Ending June 30, 2014
The second quarter of 2014 saw a return to market increases after a rough first quarter of the year. In fact, the government revised the first quarter GDP to a minus 2.9% from the positive 1% previously reported. The start of Obamacare and severe winter weather were the reasons most cited for the negative growth. Additionally, the Russian acquisition of Crimea and revolutions in the Middle East were events unsettling to the markets.
