Market Update

The markets have been sliding lower over the past few weeks, as an anticipated ‘Santa Rally’ never materialized, and instead hawkish commentary from the Federal Reserve sent stocks falling into year-end and the early parts of the year. There has been a lot of ‘noise’ in the stock market recently, as a slight change in tune by the Federal Reserve mixed with both a robust labour market and uncertainty around Trump’s inauguration has forced equities lower. There are a lot of important events on the horizon, with US inflation tomorrow morning, earnings season beginning this week, and the inauguration next Monday. Uncertainty is high, but we are beginning to see underlying early signs in the market that are encouraging. If there is one thing that the market does not like, it is uncertainty, and we see these clouds clearing up very soon. With that said, we wanted to use this market update as an opportunity to go over some of our ‘core principles of investing’ at 5i Research.
