Market observers are largely bullish on the equities market going into next year. For instance, BlackRock chairman and CEO Larry Fink stated that there’s a high probabiliy of stocks continue to strengthen as low inflation from falling oil prices will keep the Federal Reserve from pushing off rate changes.
“The best point for equity markets historically … is when you have rising earnings, low inflation and low but rising interest rates. That’s the sweet spot for equities,” Darrell Cronk, president of the newly formed Wells Fargo Investment Institute, said on CNBC. “Equity investors should enjoy where they sit right now.”
