Is it the End of the Expansion?

All good things must come to an end, and some analysts are now calling time on the longest bull market in U.S. history. After 11 years of continuous expansion, this corporate earnings season may flag the beginning of a contraction in equity markets, with corporate earnings predicted to dip precipitously. For most analysts the single biggest factor explaining the bull market’s end is the trade war, and it will require a truce in the conflict to put the market back on track. Insights via @CMEGroup
