As a result, we favor investments that can do well in an environment of stable to falling long-term interest rates. These investments include long-term taxable municipal bonds, low volatility equities and defensive equity sectors, such as health care and REITS. Each of these investments can do well as economic growth cools.
THE CASH INDICATOR
The Cash Indicator (CI) has slipped well below its historical average. This suggests that there is plenty of liquidity in the global markets and volatility is tame. Still, we expect the CI to rise, along with equity market volatility, as economic growth slows. Without signs of recession or a huge spike in the CI, market dips should be a buying opportunity.
