Market Comment OFFSHORE MARKETS The mighty bull market turned 9 on Friday, 9 March, meaning it has now entered its tenth year! It is apparently the second longest in history. At this stage there is no apparent reason for it to end. Global growth remains good, while inflation remains muted - and therefore interest rates remain very low. In fact, despite the much better US jobs report on Friday (313,000 jobs created versus 205,000 expected), US wage increases fell back to year-on-year from in January. Remember that scared investors had sent bond yields soaring, triggering the -10% stock market correction.
Garza raised her S&P 500 Index earnings forecast to 156 from 152 for 2018, thereby placing a fair value for the index at 2,808 (using an 18x fair PE ratio).
