PHILADELPHIA—Nationally syndicated host and biblical investing authority Dan Celia said today that as the week wraps up, the markets are moving forward—good news in light of somewhat stalled trade talks, geopolitical unrest and headlines about impending recession. Celia discusses these and other global and economic headlines on his daily, three-hour “Financial Issues” program, heard on more than 650 radio stations and several television networks nationwide. “China and the U.S will meet on trade next month, and the service sector is moving further into expansion,” Celia said. “Oil prices are also moving up, which is stabilizing energy stocks.
