Good Morning!

Investors have had an excellent first half of the year. The S&P 500 rose more than 14% during the first six months and the Nasdaq also managed to gain 13% after a strong catch up. Wall Street is also off to a good start in the second half of the year, in which the S&P 500 again set a new record on the price boards. The S&P 500 closed 0.52% higher at 4,319 and even appears to be starting to accelerate again. The Nasdaq stalled, closing just 0.13% higher at 14,522 points.The jobless claims figures showed that 364,000 applications were made for unemployment benefits last week, down 51,000 from a week earlier. It seems that the US labor market is continuing to recover. On Wednesday, the figures from payslip processor ADP also showed that more jobs have been created than analysts had expected.The US government will release official job numbers later today.  Economists expect non-farm payrolls to grow by 706,000 jobs in June and the unemployment rate to fall from 5.8% to 5.6%. If so, that's a big boost after the mediocre jobs report from May, when only 559,000 jobs were added.
