David Kotok, Chief Investment Officer/Co-Founder, Cumberland Advisors, joined Bryan Curtis and Rishaad Salamat on Daybreak Asia. He says the fundamental issue for markets is still trade, he goes on to say whatever the outcome of the midterm elections, we will then have clarity for the next two years.
"Just lifting the uncertainty, I believe, will give the market room to recover. So, in our shop, we still see new highs by the end of the decade. We don't see a recession. We do see a slowdown because of the trade war. We're already seeing it. We do see a little more inflation for the same reason. Although a strong dollar helps dampen that as long as the currency stays that way. And we think markets are going to head higher after we get through this rocky period."
