With summer in full swing, we hope you are beating the heat. This month’s update covers:

June Economic Update from Candor Asset Advisors. The chart highlights:
* Strong – employment, corporate earnings growth, retail sales growth, elevated inflation
* Solid – GDP growth, fed funds rates, S&P 500 YTD returns
* Weak – consumer sentiment, housing sales, yield curve 

13 surprising ways GLP-1s may benefit the body, according to science from The Washington Post. I like the way the authors highlight where there is strong, medium, and low evidence supporting GLP-1 health benefit claims.

Earnings, not valuations, are fueling the US stock market from The Financial Times. The author does a good job explaining what has driven the gains in US stocks this year.

Now may be a good time to catch up. If so, my scheduling link follows.
