Despite September weakness in the technology sector that has dragged the broader market lower, we expect leadership to continue given supportive underlying fundamental and technical conditions.

Central bank policies remain focused on economic recovery, with an eye on COVID-19 developments.

Markets have been on a wild ride in September so far, with a strong first two days of the month followed by one of the sharpest 10% corrections ever for the NASDAQ.

Many investors, ourselves included, find it difficult to understand why stocks have done so well lately in such a challenging economic environment and COVID-19 still an ongoing threat.
