Brexit Vote, the Fed, Slowing Growth, Trump and Clinton . . . Oh My Says the Stock Market!
Currently, we are dealing with a market that is seesawing around as it attempts to come to grips with slowing growth expectations, even though oil prices have continued to inch higher. But even more uncertainty is on the horizon. Looking ahead, there are a growing number of unknowns in the market, ranging from:
- The Brexit vote
- Prospects of the Fed boosting rates in June
- Aggressive growth expectations in the back half of 2016
- And the chaos of the 2016 presidential election
Taken alone, any one of these uncertainties is enough to jostle the market around. When combined, they have enough boom to take the wind out of the sails of the recent market rally. As the stock market remains choppy, with mounting uncertainties to be had, we continue to follow our thematic strategy, adding positions prudently only when the time is right.
