Weekly Roundup 8/18/23

Our PureVest Weekly Roundup looked at the latest quarterly earnings and outlooks for Walmart & Target. Walmart had a solid report, generating over 50% of its revenues from groceries. Economists lifted their U.S. GDP forecasts by more than triple. Treasury yields rose to a 14-month high, and mortgage rates are closing in on a 21-year high; Is a stronger-than-expected economy driving this? As the market continued its recent pull-back, Bitcoin dropped over 10% for the week; again proving it’s nothing more than a risk asset. Be sure to check out an article on Financial Planning. You can find our PureVest Financial Plan Fact Finder below, a great tool to help you start your planning. Enjoy the light reading, and have a great weekend!
