Weekly Market Outlook April 22, 2018

“As an investor my job is to figure out what will happen rather than what should happen.” – David Einhorn

Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – The numerical season is imminent, and so far there has been a positive picture. The S&P 500 recovers, but does not test the investors’ complacency. There is still a good chance that the market will move again towards the recent lows. Nevertheless, it does not seem to be the start of a new bear market. On the other hand, it is advisable to take to heart the words of former ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet: “The situation now is more alarming than before the crisis.”

At the stock exchanges, a lot of quarterly earnings will be published in the coming week, while the European Central Bank will also meet on interest rates.
