Dog Stocks of 2019 to Return 20%+ in 2020: 5 Picks
Read MoreHide Full Article
U.S. stock indexes have not only notched record highs in their last trading session but are also poised to maintain their winning streak heading into 2020. The broader S&P 500 index, in fact, is expected to climb an additional 9% by the end of 2020, per Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research. The optimism largely stems from the preliminary U.S.-China trade truce over import duties.
President Trump recently said that he had a “very good talk” with China’s Xi Jinping and that a formal signing of a partial U.S.-China trade deal has been arranged. China has agreed to increase import of commodities in 2020 and 2021 by almost $200 billion, which includes nearly $40 billion of U.S. agricultural products.
China has also agreed to protect American intellectual property rights and has assured not to manipulate its currency. What’s more, China has called off additional tariffs on U.S. goods. The United States, in the meanwhile, has agreed not to impose extra tariffs on nearly $160 billion of Chinese consumer electronics and toys that were supposed to take effect from Dec 15.
To top it, the U.S. economy is entering 2020 in a pretty good shape. The U.S. GDP in the third quarter of 2019 came in at 2.1%, more than analysts’ expectations and has squashed expectations of an imminent recession.
What’s more, consumer spending that accounts for almost two-third of U.S. economic activity is showing signs of improvement. Per the Commerce Department, consumer outlays increased 0.4% in November, its strongest gain since July. Government data showed that there were significant purchases of automobiles and trucks last month, while spending on healthcare was pretty high. All these indicate that households have enough spending capabilities to keep the economy expanding at steady pace in the near term.
Upbeat reports on domestic manufacturing and home building have infused optimism about the current state of the economy. Last month, factory output bounced back after General Motor Company’s strike ended, per the Federal Reserve. Industrial production increased at a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.1% in November compared to the prior month. That marked the biggest month-over-month increase since October 2017.
Another reading on the U.S. housing sector saw construction of new homes jump in November, a tell-tale sign of continued momentum in the housing sector. Per the Commerce Department, housing starts, a measure of home building, increased 3.2% last month from October to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.365 million. Building permits show that future home construction increased 1.4% in November compared to the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.482 million.
Last but not the least, Wall Street’s positive sentiment remains supported by progress on international trade matters. After all, the House of Representatives saw both the Democrats and Republicans united in passing an updated version of the 25-year-old NAFTA that many economists believe will eventually prove favorable for the U.S. economy.
Bargain Hunters: Here’re 5 Profitable Stocks for 2020
