Weekly Market Outlook May 25, 2014

Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – The empty saying “Sell in May” can be better changed into “Buy in May.” Last Friday, the S&P 500 closed with little volume, just above the psychological barrier of 1,900 points. It is necessary to stay above this high level for a while in order to justify the investor’s confidence.

This coming week, tightening of this new “all-time high” cannot be excluded because of the hope in measures taken by central bankers, particularly in Europe and Japan, in mid-June. This Monday, the stock markets in the U.S. and the UK will be closed, and on Thursday, various European stock markets, such as the Swiss, will keep their doors closed. Just like the past week, it promises to be a quiet week with little volume, which could result in significant stock price changes in individual stocks.
