Bob Doll, Chief Equity Strategist at Nuveen Asset Management, comments on the recent economic slowdown and what it could me for equities. “U.S. equities rebounded last week as the S&P 500 increased by nearly 1.8%, despite continued weak economic data. We believe recent data is not yet weak enough to change forecasts. The relative stability of data and forecasts - supported by stimulative monetary policies, an improving U.S. housing market and fading political polarization in the U.S. and Europe - sends a message of reasonably low volatility and manageable downside risks.” [+] Read More

Bob Doll, Chief Equity Strategist at money manager Nuveen Asset Management, examines the recent weakness in commodities and continues his ongoing question of ‘what can be sustained?’ "U.S. equities declined last week as the S&P 500 fell by more than 2.0%, which came on the heels of a new all-time high the prior week.1 Led by gold, commodities experienced volatility and declined over the past two weeks. Other detractors included disappointing first quarter Chinese economic numbers and somewhat softer U.S. releases."

Discussing many timely topics, money manager Calamos Investments’ latest commentary predicts a market correction in the near future, asks when QE3 will end and reviews the potential of emerging market economies. "Against the backdrop of accommodative monetary policy, the global economy continued its recovery, although at a decidedly uneven pace. Equity markets advanced on the whole (Figure 1). Once again, the news was most encouraging in the United States. Fourth quarter U.S. corporate earnings came in strong, with more than two-thirds of firms beating expectations. Sequestration worries contributed to volatility, particularly in the early portion of the quarter, but passage of a new continuing resolution prevented a shutdown in Washington. Both the Dow and the S&P 500 Index reached new heights, surpassing levels not seen since October 2007."

"What can be sustained?" is the big question asked by Nuveen Asset Management’s Chief Equity Strategist Bob Doll. "U.S. equities struggled last week as the S&P 500 was down approximately 1%. The weak jobs report released on Friday seems to indicate that the U.S. remains mired in a muddle-through economy. After a couple of months where signs were more positive, recent data is disappointing. Although the first quarter was relatively strong, we anticipate that the first and second quarters will average out to the 2% to 2.5% real growth we have been forecasting, with nominal growth under 5%."
