The View from 5th Avenue

The View at Two – 16 April 2020

Eye of the Tiger… Stocks have refused to give up today. Despite two selloffs --the first after 22m Americans reportedly filed for unemployment (erasing all jobs created since The Great Recession), and the second after Gov Cuomo announced an extended lockdown until at least May 15th  , the S&P continues its desperate fight for green. Retailers and Healthcare are providing some of the muscle, but lest we forget Netflix (+3.5%) and Amazon (AMZN +4%), who continue to take over the world with new highs again today. Another stock of note -- Morgan Stanley (-0.4%) bucking the bank trend (JPM -4%, GS -2.2%). The company saw good underlying performance and has limited its ongoing exposure to credit risk, allowing it to outperform its counterparts. It will be interesting to watch the rest of today play out – Energy  and Banks dragging the clawing S&P.
