Afterwards, we'll look at the overall state of the stock market with Julia Coronado from MacroPolicy Perspectives, and then we'll discuss how Russia's economy is doing ahead of Trump's planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Today’s podcast is sponsored by Carbonite (Carbonite.com) and Michigan Economic Development Corporation (planetm.michiganbusiness.org).
