2020 Midyear Outlook

At the midpoint of 2020, we’re mindful that it’s been an extremely challenging year across the world. We’re in the midst of a pandemic that continues to impact all of us, our communities and our economies.

Together, we’re looking ahead for new ways to face these challenges and how we can prepare now for better times. We’ve been impressed by what we’ve seen so far: The resiliency and accelerated innovation among large and small U.S. businesses; efforts by our national, state, and local governments to support our communities; and most of all, the dedication and unprecedented cooperation among our front-line health professionals, medical researchers, and everyday people to guide us through this health crisis.

LPL Research’s Midyear Outlook 2020 provides our updated views of the pillars for investing — the economy, bonds and stocks. As the headlines change daily, look to these pillars, or trail markers, and the Midyear Outlook 2020 to help provide perspective on facing these challenges now and preparing to move forward together.
