Is The US Stock Market On The Verge Of Collapse?

Synopsis

The Fed's decision to pause rate hike has set off a big rebound in the US market that returned 13% in the first quarter of 2019 for the S&P 500 index. Do the markets need a catalyst for it to go higher? Or could the Fed flip-flop and go back to hiking rates?

The yield curve has caused panic in the market but it is an overrated signal. The last two corrections were caused by jumps in bond yields. With lower bond yields, what do we look out for that can cause the market to decline? We have negative earnings growth in 1Q but the US market still rallied higher. S&P 500 stands just 1% from its record high!

Join our seminar on 25 May as Paul shares his insights on these confusing signals from the US market. Nicholas will also show you how you can make use of Paul's insights with the products offered by UOB Kay Hian.
