Key quotes

In Japan, the Topix could decline just 2% over the next 12 months, while the MSCI Emerging Markets index is now forecast to decline by 7% vs. 19% previously.”
“A summer surge in US coronavirus cases, given the unpredictability of the pandemic and the effect on consumer market psychology, the path of coronavirus infections will remain a risk-factor to any outlook.”
“The updated equity returns reflect improvements in target price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples and another six months of a strong earnings recovery. ‘High multiples on trough earnings is fairly common,’ says Wilson, whose team expects earnings to rebound 20% in 2021.”
