Good MorningThe equity markets went on a wild ride on Tuesday after a shocking Retail Sales report. The May Retail Sales report shows consumer spending jumped 17.7% from the prior month as business and shoppers get back to business. Analysts had been expecting the figure to be positive but this figure is more than double the expectation. For those betting on a strong post-pandemic recovery, this is good news.
The risk now is to the upside. All future data-points are likely to show improvement from the previous release, if not come in well above estimates. Investors should remain cautious during the melt-up because what goes up must come down. Sooner or later the market will become over-valued enough to spark the next round of selling. If that coincides with the second wave of COVID the selling could rival what we saw in March.
