| | | | | 2020 U.S. Equity Outlook: Can the strong gains posted in 2019 continue? | | Healthy consumer confidence, low unemployment, stable inflation, rising corporate profits and, although slowing, a growing economy suggest 2020 will present another rewarding year — albeit a more modest one — for U.S. equities investors. | | The economy and equities markets do face a number of developing risks that likely will curb gains from 2019's unusually powerful performance, including global trade tensions and increased volatility. | | Overall, though, 2020 should bring further economic and stock market gains, with the longstanding bull market persisting and no recession likely in the near term. We estimate 5 percent to 7 percent total returns for U.S. equities, somewhat in line with anticipated modest earnings-per-share growth, as markets appear to be fairly valued, or close to it. | | Learn More | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
