NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / July 2, 2018 / Major U.S. markets finished higher on Friday, but finished the week lower due to ongoing global trade concerns.

"We now find ourselves in what can reasonably be called a successful, growing economy. We are back to what we like to think of as normal. As we look into the second half of 2018, I believe that the economy will continue to grow, with healthy employment conditions, rising interest rates, and the reasonable prospect of rising markets. I expect growth to accelerate from first-quarter levels to levels closer to what prevailed in the 1990s and 2000s - in other words, normal," said Brad McMillan, chief investment officer at Commonwealth Financial Network.
