Upon Friday close, there is now a standoff between bulls and bears.
Pro: - Revert to dovish monetary policy - Lack of alternative assets to be invested in - Share buybacks are still propping up the market - Trend is very strong - Stock market manipulation is supported by banks and governments by any means.
Neutral: - Institutional investors have shied away from this rally so far. - Completion of trade deal is priced into the market.
Contra - Abysmal economic news - Debt bubble (car and student loans) is close to burst - Central banks are unable to fight the increasing risk of stagflation or to stimulate economic growth. - Stocks in general are highly priced. - Trump's governance is facing more and more controversies (e.g. bragging about China trade deal weakens USA position in negotiations).
