MARKET OUTLOOK
We believe we are in the middle stages of a secular bull market in the U.S. dollar (it’s now been four years since I first started mentioning this on BNN). This will ignite rates of return of all U.S. assets including equities, real estate, etc.
According to Model Price metrics, we believe the S&P 500 has a fair value of 2,993 — that’s 21 per cent higher than this index is trading at today — and 12 months from June 1, fair value will be 3,442, assuming current earnings estimates.
