 It's the middle of the year, and there's a lot of middle ground for the economy and markets, according to financial journalist Jordan Goodman. This is what I call the Goldilocks economy. It's not too hot, not too cold, just right. Economic growth is continuing, but at a pretty slow pace. Inflation has been coming down, though we had a report this week that the Consumer Price Index was down to a 3% annual rate, down from 3.3%, which looks like it'll give the Federal Reserve a chance to cut interest rates probably in September.
