Since the January high and subsequent 10% correction, the market has been in a relatively narrow trading range for roughly five months. However, earnings estimates continue to improve and the economy is reasonably strong. So, why the hesitation? In my opinion, it has to do with having a clear view of the future and what is fogging our lenses is the Federal Reserve policy and foreign trade negotiations. Markets don’t like uncertainty and until we get some resolution to these issues, especially the trade impasse, the market isn’t likely to make much headway.
