The Bottom Line
Here comes the “Summer Rally” for North American equity markets! According to www.EquityClock.com history shows that the “summer rally” for the TSX Composite Index and the S&P 500 Index, on average, starts on June 27th and last until at least July 17th. Frequently, the summer rally extends until mid-September.
What about this year? Chances are higher than average that a summer rally will happen this summer thanks to release of corporate reports that show strong second quarter earnings gains.
· Corporate earnings by S&P 500 companies are accelerating. Consensus calls for a 23.1% year-over-year increase by S&P 500 companies in the second quarter followed by a 26.7% increase in the third quarter.
· Corporate earnings by TSX 60 companies are accelerating in major sectors thanks to higher commodity prices (energy, base metals, precious metals, forest products, fertilizers) and thanks to improving interest rate spreads (banks, insurance companies).
