FXStreet notes that S&P 500 is up 19% from 19 March. The rally has undoubtedly been helped by a flattening out of the curve of new corona cases globally and previously unheard-of measures from authorities to ease the default risk burden further, per Nordea.
“Profit estimates have, not surprisingly, continued to get downgraded and S&P 500 is now expected to have -12% EPS growth in 2020 according to Bloomberg. The downgrade process is far from over, in our view.”
“Macro indicators point to a risk of a 30 to 60% drop in earnings for 2020.”
“The current S&P 500 forward P/E of 19.5 is in all likelihood a major understatement of the actual P/E ratio. The equity market is far from recessionary cheap.”
U.S. stock-index futures rose on Friday after the U.S. President Donald Trump laid out plans to reopen the country's economy and media reported that Gilead Sciences' drug showed some effectiveness in treating the coronavirus.
