Shifting expectations—that’s been the name of the game affecting U.S. stocks for the first half of 2017, according to Alan Robinson of RBC Wealth Management.

There has been no new government spending, no inflation (or reflation), and U.S. economic growth didn’t surge past 2 percent—not quite what was expected at the start of 2017.
