Good MorningEquities markets continue to melt-up and, despite a seeming disconnection from reality, will probably keep rising over the coming days if not weeks. The #1 driver for equity prices is earnings and the trend for 2nd quarter results is that earnings and outlook are better than expected. Because of this, investors can expect the market to continue repricing at least through the end of the reporting cycle.
Another driver of the market melt-up is hope for another round of economic stimulus. House Democrats and Senate Republicans are deadlocked in the debate over the details and but a deal is expected soon. When its announced, the deal could be the catalyst to drive the S&P 500 to new highs. The risk for investors today is that negotiators will fail to reach consensus and spark another correction in the equity markets.
