Greg Newman, Senior Wealth Advisor & Portfolio Manager, Newman Group, ScotiaMcLeod
Focus: North American equities
Top Picks: South Bow, Meta, AtkinsRéalis
MARKET OUTLOOK:
Stocks are largely driven by three factors – expected earnings, expected interest rates and valuations.
While the earnings picture looks very bright, valuations are not cheap and the outlook for interest rates is uncertain largely due to oil prices.
How long oil stays high and where it goes from here will be key for the future direction of this market.
As such having an asset allocation and being diversified is even more important than usual.
