Polish Equities Monthly: December 2019

2020 equity strategy

At a critical junction

The US equity market is, in our view, at a crossroads at the moment. Whereas some of the economic leading indicators (UST curve, industrial production, ISM manufacturing PMI, US corporate profit margins), historically doing decent job in signaling stock market peaks, explicitly imply risk of looming change in the cyclical trend in US equities, the other key ones (ISM non-manufacturing PMI, trend in initial jobless claims, trend in Conference Board Leading Economic Indicator for the US), doing equally well in pre-emptive signaling of stock market turning points, are at the moment at critical junctures (following negative tendencies ytd) – next few months should clear out whether they improve (refuting recession woes and stock market’s turning south) or further deteriorate (sending recession & bear market warning signals). Hence, whereas year ago (in the midst of December’18 panic sell-off) we firmly argued that the S&P500 ought to set its new all-time highs still in this cycle (an assertion that, with the benefit of hindsight, proved right), at present our conviction on further significant extension of current up-cycle in US equities is vague.
