Investing: Outlook for 2020
Speaker: Patrick Fearon-Hernandez, CFA - Confluence Investment Management LLC, St. Louis, MO

Looking at the economy in 2020, our base case calls for modest growth and continued low inflation.  Our base case does not include a recession in 2020, but it does recognize that risks are increasing.

In the financial markets, our forecast calls for a modest positive return for equities, especially "growth" stocks.  We also expect a flattish performance from bonds and a weaker dollar.  We believe commodities will struggle in the face of continued slow economic growth around the world.

The primary risks to our forecasts include:

1.  Recession
2.  The U.S. elections
3.  A "melt up" in stocks as  a result of ample liquidity, accommodative monetary policy, and fairly valued stocks.
