Weekly Market Outlook September 9, 2018

“Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria” – Sir John Templeton

Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – In the meantime, the expected consolidation is taking shape, but it is no reason for sharply declining stock prices. This consolidation is motivated by pure sentiment around trade wars, currency shifts, and technical chatter. The underlying economy is still running correctly. The investment environment for shares is excellent. We would not be surprised to see the S&P 500 increase significant when these negative sentiments have disappeared. A continuation of the bull market until mid-2020 is plausible, even if the valuations are in some respects extreme.

In the coming week, it will be about the central bankers. The ECB is expected to leave its interest rates unchanged.
