Stock Market update -Jun 30

The market pulled back a bit this week, ahead of the G20 and potential good news on China trade. All asset classes seem to be moving up -stocks, bonds, gold, oil. We closed out the first half of the year with strong gains in stocks, though this is following one of the worst 2nd half periods last year, so nothing really gained!
