Markets are up so why is economic news still negative?
2020 has been a rollercoaster ride. In the first half of the year we had bush fires, a pandemic, social distancing, borders closing, job loses, and some business models decimated while others experienced tremendous growth. We’ve witnessed civil unrest in the US and geopolitical tensions between the West and China intensifying. In March, financial markets experienced one of the fastest pullbacks on record, but we’ve just seen an incredible rebound. There seems to be a disconnect between economic fundamentals and how the market is reacting at the moment.
So why has the market gone up, and will it continue? Lukasz de Pourbaix, CIO at Lonsec explains what has contributed to the rebound and the factors to consider when trying to understand how markets behave.
