After a tough month for stocks in May, June’s performance was a welcome change with the S&P 500 up almost 7% for the month (YCharts).

After closing higher in each of the first four months of the year May brought volatility as the S&P 500 closed the month down about 6.5% amid fresh trade concerns.  Bonds also flashed a warning sign as the yield on the 10-year US Treasury dropped to around 2.14% at the end of the month, the lowest levels since September, 2017.
