The Rosedale Branch Fall 2009 Newsletter
Inside:
Market Outlook
Although the global economic news flow continues to improve, the equity market’s reaction was muted in August. Performances ranged from 4 % in the U.S. to 1.7% in Canada to –16% in China. Nonetheless, the S&P 500 is up 11.9% since the start of Q3. Scotia Capital believes the lack of momentum in August, and the potential for a pullback in September/October, have more to do with the current overbought situation and seasonality than overpriced equity markets. On that basis, our outlook over the longer term for the US markets remains positive. We expect equities and corporate bonds to outperform US treasuries over the next 12-18 months. The S&P 500’s fair value should hit 1,025 in December 2009 and 1,200 in December 1010.
