In her comments last week, Janet Yellen stated that the neutral rate for the fed funds rate is \u201ccurrently quite low,\u201d and rates would not have to rise much more to become neutral. In our view, a neutral fed funds rate is closer to 2% than the 3% currently implied by the fed funds futures market. If this is accurate, it would likely be good news for economic growth, corporate earnings and the stock market.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Global monetary policy is starting to normalize, but still supports stocks<\/strong>. The Bank of China raised rates by 25 basis points last week and other central banks are becoming less dovish. We think this is good news since it reflects improving global economic growth, while overall policy remains easy. Central banks are still promoting liquidity, which should support equities and other risk assets.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inflation remains surprisingly low<\/strong>. Although economic growth is improving and the Fed is normalizing, inflation has not increased similarly. Inflation should eventually react to tightening labor markets, but the process is taking a long time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>If the \u201cGoldilocks\u201d environment persists, we think equities can continue to make all-time highs<\/strong>. Low inflation, slow-but-positive economic growth, climbing earnings and a cautious Fed have contributed to record-high stock prices. We think these conditions should remain in place for at least the next 6 to 12 months.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Active fund manager performance has improved<\/strong>. According to Merrill Lynch, 54% of active large cap U.S. equity managers outperformed their benchmarks for the first half of the year and more than half also outperformed for the last four months. This is the longest such streak since Merrill Lynch began tracking this data in 2009, and it marks the first time a majority of managers outperformed for the first half of a year.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Global monetary policy supportive of stocks, low inflation and slow-but-stable earnings growth. Nothing much wrong here. Inflation is the one to watch though. A surge in wage rates as the labor market tightens would tighten monetary policy, with a domino effect on earnings and stock performance.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuveen.com\/Commentary\/BobDoll\/WeeklyCommentary.aspx?utm_source=SilverpopMailing&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=20170227_BobDoll_201702Template%20(20)&amp;spMailingID=11493572&amp;spUserID=MTc0NzU3MzI5NDIyS0&amp;spJobID=1201546812&amp;spReportId=MTIwMTU0NjgxMgS2\">Weekly Investment Commentary from Bob Doll | Nuveen<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. monetary policy should remain equity-market friendly.
