One year ago, despite lockdowns, skyrocketing unemployment, and major market volatility, my team at Keen Wealth was cautiously optimistic. We believed that most of the economic disruption our country was facing was a temporary and necessary response to battling COVID-19. And we believed that once vaccine development started progressing and the country started reopening, jobs would come back, the economy would roar to life, and the markets would respond in kind. So far, 2021 has exceeded our expectations. But the latest jobs report and other key economic indicators show that we still have a ways to go before we’ve fully recovered from the pandemic. On today’s episode, Keen Wealth’s Chief Investment Officer, Matt Wilson, discusses the data he presented in his most recent Market Update Webinar, as well as factors that could potentially slow down our economic momentum.
