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.

En 2022, les marchés obligataires et boursiers ont connu des difficultés en raison de la guerre en Ukraine et du combat des banques centrales contre l’inflation. Cependant, le dernier trimestre de l’année a apporté un certain soulagement.

Le constat est clair, le premier semestre 2022 n’a pas été rémunérateur pour les investisseurs. Entre l’inflation, la hausse des taux et le contexte géopolitique tendu, seules les matières premières affichent un rendement positif depuis le début de l’année. Dans cet environnement, l’univers des cryptomonnaies n’a pas fait exception.
