Stock market was generally down for almost the entire Q1 2022. With the recent rally, is it the start of a real bull run or is it a dead cat bounce? Here are my views on the current stock market outlook as I tried to present both bull and bear cases objectively, and hopefully they can value add to your own research. However,please note they are not financial advices.
Bull case:
- Growth stocks have been hammered down, and are much cheaper in valuation
- Covid situation is better around the world
- Fed's latest interest rate hike is per expectatio
- When sellers dry up, the market will rebound
- Various mega cap stocks are showing bullish trend e.g. Nvidia, Microsoft, Apple and Tesla (can check out the video for simple TA)
Bear case
- Outcome of ongoing war is uncertain
- Supply chain issues
- Inflation
- Aggresive rate hikes
- Shrinking balance sheet
- S&P500 and a few mega cap stocks’ movement have been defying odds. Some of them went up in a parabolic manner, and it usually ends with a pullback
If you have some time to spare, hope you can check out this video that I have done up:
