Is the current equity market recovery sustainable?

We offer you a succinct and non-exhaustive review of the market elements that could potentially influence equity markets in the coming weeks and months.

Supportive factors:

Confirmation of a rapid economic recovery (V shape scenario)
Energy and oil prices maintained at current low levels
Interest rates universe maintained at current low levels
Post-crash equity overvaluation reduction
Market discrimination at sector and stock level during the correction phase which implies a limited downward from current level
Central banks:
- Increasing liquidity
- Corporate Debt buyback program

Risk factors:

Revival of the sino-american economic war, unpredictability of the US President’s initiative
Covid-19 second wave
Economic recession underestimation
Continued declining earnings revisions
Market risk premium complacency
Joe Biden’s victory in the US Presidential Election
Uncontrolled indebtedness slippage (increasing risk of country bankruptcy)
Potential country nationalization (Europe)
Economic nationalism strengthening
Brexit

In view of the above mentioned elements, the potential for a further sharp fall seems limited. That said, it is difficult to be enthusiastic about market at the moment when listing all the risks.
