The Half-Way Point
Boodle Blog - June 2026 The Half-Way Point
Hello everyone, and welcome to the June, 2026 edition of the Boodle blog! If this is your first time here, we welcome you, and if you are a returning member we thank you for placing your trust in our company. At Boodle we believe that the person best qualified to manage your business is you, and we supply you with the financial knowledge & tools that will help make you a successful investor.
Once again, there are a lot of bases to cover, and we will touch on the most pertinent information that will help you understand and make sense of the market and the economy, which will help you to make sound investment decisions.
July first marks the half way point in the market and we will lay out the stats for the 3 major indexes that we follow on our site.
The DOW was the only winning index in June and it gained 3 percent for the month,while the S&P 500 and the NASDAQ posted losses of 1.14% and 3.07% respectively. For the year, through June 30 the DOW added 8.63% and the S&P 500 gained 9.09%. The NASDAQ is winning the year with a 12% gain since January 2nd of this year. Boodle believes these gains are significant and they help to validate that the Bulls are still in control of Wallstreet, regardless of what the media and naysayers may tell you.
If possible, Boodle will let you know when these conditions change and how you should protect the gains that have accumulated in your portfolios.
The economy continues to demonstrate resiliency and strength which helps support our bullish, forward looking stance. We believe that the war between the US and Iran is slowly being resolved and we have seen a slight decrease in gas and some food prices. The ADP June jobs report showed gains of 98,000 a slight decrease from the forecasted number.
June also saw a new Fed Chairman, Kevin Warsh sworn in to lead that institution. Sadly, we saw the passing of former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan who, in our opinion, was the best Chair that the country has had in the past 30 years. The new Chair Kevin Warsh took his first opportunity as Chair to keep interest rates steady. We think for now, this is a prudent move from the Fed.
With these gains so far in 2026 we believe that 2026 could end with double-digit gains in all 3 indexes. The NASDAQ is already there, and the DOW and S&P 500 are currently within striking distance of double-digits.
Boodle believes that you should continue your dollar-cost-average strategy into the market, and maintain your disciplined approach to investing. These strategies will sustain your gains and also reading a financial book on investing is a well-rounded approach for you during these summer months.
Keep your expenses low and your strategy on track and continue to financial educate yourself on financial markets and the behavior of money. Your financial education will serve you well in both Bull & Bear markets. As we kick off the final 6 months of 2026, continue to follow Boodle for all the financial knowledge that you will need to become a successful money manager. We will see you back here in August, until then enjoy the month of July!
