Commentary
April 2020
After the severe shock in March, markets rebounded strongly in April. COVID-19 continued to spread globally, but some countries saw daily new infection rates start to fall and are now planning to gradually reopen their economies. Governments and central banks introduced very significant stimulus measures to reduce the damage caused by the economic shutdown, restoring some positive sentiment to markets.
Volatility declined from extreme levels. Developed stock markets outperformed emerging markets and growth stocks outperformed value. The S&P 500 index returned 12.8% and has recovered close to 60% of its prior decline.
Massive global fiscal and monetary responses fuelled a strong market rebound in April despite macroeconomic data that showed the huge economic cost of the COVID-19 shutdowns.
Analysts revised down 2020 earnings estimates, which are now expected to decline by over 15% in the US and Europe. Dividends may also suffer cuts as companies prioritise balance sheet protection over profit distribution.
Despite April’s market rebound, considerable uncertainty remains over the trajectory of global growth over the coming quarters. A lot will depend on the extent to which economies can successfully reopen. For this reason, the investment managers remain prudent and expect further volatility. However, they acknowledge that the unprecedented policy response – particularly the willingness of central banks to intervene in credit markets – has shifted the balance of risks.
