Recently, positive news for the stock market has accumulated. But what can you think of them? And should you invest now? Analysts say yes — for example with these three promising stocks.
There is no shortage of positive news. Contrary to the general gloom that seems to lie over the world, they have even been piling up in the economy recently.
Consider Thursday’s statement by Vice Chair of the US Federal Reserve, Lael Brainard. the Currency watchdog hintedthat the latest economic data speak for a soft landing of the economy. “Inflation has eased in recent months against a backdrop of moderate growth,” she said. The exchanges then limited their previous losses. In view of the abating wave of inflation, the financial markets are expecting the Fed to lower the key interest rate at the beginning of February increases by only a quarter of a percentage point.
There were also positive reports from China. A representative of the National Health Commission said on Thursday that the peak of the wave of seriously ill people Corona patients was exceeded. In doing so, he raised hopes that the economy would recover in the near future. And the stock exchanges thanked him visibly.
Positive also from Europe. The German federal government, for example, no longer expects a recession this year, as announced on Wednesday in its annual economic report. And the stock market professionals are also looking at the German economy far more optimistically at the beginning of the year than they have been in the past and are shedding their fear of recession, as was shown on Tuesday. This is the first time since February 2022 CALL-Barometer for assessing the economy in positive territory again in the next six months.
It’s also a fact that the stock exchanges got off to a strong start in the new year. It was the best start for the German Dax in 20 years. With that he let them US-Leitindizes and the global well behind. Incidentally, this also has to do with the dubious advantage that he is less technology heavybut is more industrial and raw material-heavy.
Be that as it may, the factors listed that support the markets are hope factors. It is therefore worth remembering what Andreas Bruckern from the research department of the Bank of America recently said, “The frenzy that markets are in will eventually go away because it will be impossible to hide the underlying weakness in demand.”
Of course, the counter-movement to last year’s sale is still going on. And that can last a while. So where could you invest now?
