The summer months are so far delivering a lot of news for investors, and a lot of stress. Why not head to the beaches? J.P. Morgan’s quant superstar says...
After a May equity selloff, investors should be enjoying the June bounce. But that’s as we navigate trade headlines, i.e. President Donald Trump’s tweets or what’s in his head that day, and remain on the lookout for signs the Federal Reserve will cave on interest rate cuts.
Hang in there, says our call of the day, from J.P. Morgan’s global head of quantitative and derivatives strategy, Marko Kolanovic, who says we could get a bigger bounce from all the damage trade-war tensions have wrought on stocks. He notes the recent threat of Mexico tariffs that came and went fast. He thinks a U.S.-China trade deal — logical going into an election year — could reverse about half of the market damage seen so far.
