This is the third week of what we call a ‘market rotation’ which is very positive looking ahead. In a crisis the market always prices in a ‘worst case scenario’ then moves on to assess the most likely economic conditions 6-18 months out. From there – (unless it appears the world as we know it cannot be imagined), and the projection is tolerable for economic growth, the market goes on to climb the ‘wall of worry’ it formerly constructed from the worst case already priced in. Rotation moves from the market leaders – whatever they may be, to the lagers whatever they may be, as it heals the deepest wounds..
Have a great weekend!
