25 May 2016 – What’s driving this market?
What’s driving this market higher, one has to wonder? The market fundamental certainly does not support it but is the excessive liquidity from the QE’s especially in Europe contributing to it? This is the second day that the market posted solid gains on no news and after the end of a not-so-good earnings season. Also, there is a potential for a rate hike in June or the coming months which is hardly bullish for the equity market. Yes, we are in a presidential election year and that is typically good for the market and oil is making new high and touching US$50 per barrel. Is the market anticipating a better economy ahead?
