Weekly Market Outlook March 20, 2016

Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – The formation of a top is an extremely complex process, where investors are continually put on the wrong track. The problem we observe is that the downward force in the S&P 500 developed stronger than the upward force since the end of 2015. In 2007, 2008 and 2011, we saw similar developments. For the long term, we remain positive, however, cautious for the short term. We note that the projection of the net profit over Q1 2016 for the S&P 500 is the lowest since Q4 2012, which is not only caused by the energy sector.

Next week, investors face a shortened trading week in which the highlight is on Tuesday; worldwide many macro data will be published then.
