Our Q3 2026 Market Update is here — and today is one of the most important days of the financial quarter. 📊
The June inflation report releases this morning, and it will likely shape Federal Reserve policy for the rest of the year. While markets await the results, we wanted to share our team's perspective on where things stand — and what we're doing about it.
Q2 2026 was a remarkable quarter for investors. The S&P 500 rose over 15%, the Nasdaq surged more than 21%, and the April ceasefire that ended the Strait of Hormuz disruption fueled a powerful spring rally. But as we enter Q3, the environment has shifted — inflation is running at 4.2%, a September rate hike looks increasingly likely, and geopolitical uncertainty has returned.
Our Q3 Quarterly Market Perspectives cover everything you need to know:
✅ Where equity markets go from here
✅ What the Fed's hawkish pivot means for your portfolio
✅ How we're positioning for inflation and rising rates
✅ Key dates and events to watch through September
We're here to be the steady hand when markets get noisy. 📩 If you have questions about your portfolio or want to connect with your Rawlings advisor, don't hesitate to reach out.
