Brad McMillan, Commonwealth’s CIO, recaps the market and economic news for August. It was a very good month for the markets.

Consumer confidence looks to have bottomed, and wage growth has ticked up again, supporting spending growth. We’re in a much better place than we were a month ago, but are there risks ahead? Stay tuned to find out. Follow Brad at blog.commonwealth.com/independent-market-observer.
