The Main Market Event: Strength, Surprises, and the Road Ahead

As we reflect on the 250th anniversary of the United States, we’re celebrating institutions that feel distinctly American – innovative, resilient and constantly evolving. One unlikely example: WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment. Like professional wrestling, investing is a blend of structure and surprise. Storylines develop, momentum shifts and roles are defined – but the final outcome is never fully known. Today’s market backdrop carries that same tension between expectations and reality: Is the economy truly "rock"-solid? Will inflation prove "immoveable"? Can equities maintain the endurance of a champion? And have bonds staged a comeback worthy of the main event? In this environment, it’s not just about knowing the storyline… it’s about anticipating the next plot twist. Chief Investment Officer Larry Adam stepped into the ring to break down the economy and financial markets entering the second half of 2026. The live event was recorded on Monday, July 13, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
