Weekly Market Outlook July 19, 2015

Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – Relief about the absence of a Grexit did the financial markets good. Although the markets rebounded, we note that the recovery is “thin”. Crucial for a sustainable continuation of the bull market is a broad market participation, backed by solid business results.

Should this fail to happen then, the foundation is fragile. However, as long as the 10-year rate does not rise above 3%, the equity sector still appears to be attractive. The S&P 500 is currently trading 16.5 times forward estimates of its companies, which is slightly above the average of 15.

The coming week will be only about the company’s figures, which could cause the necessary volatility in individual stocks.
