Ken Fisher Provides His 2021 Mid-Year Stock Market Report

In his latest video, Fisher Investments’ founder and Co-Chief Investment Officer Ken Fisher recaps 2021’s first half for stock markets and shares his forecast for the remainder of the year. Financial markets have weathered an extraordinary period since the pandemic began, with global stocks staging a sharp, V-shaped recovery as economic activity resumed following institutional lockdowns.

Ken Fisher points to this sharp reversal as key to seeing what the rest of 2021 may hold for markets. While 2020’s downturn technically qualified as a bear market, it lacked the slow grind lower that typifies most historical bear markets. 2020’s lightning-fast bear market didn’t signal a traditional recession, but what Ken calls a “constriction,” caused by the lockdowns. Once the lockdowns were lifted, the global economy was free to resume its prior course.

Ken believes it’s a mistake to extrapolate 2021’s higher-than-normal economic growth into the future because he sees the current period not as a new cycle, but as a continuation of the pre-pandemic cycle. That means potentially slowing future economic growth isn’t necessarily a signal the economy is weakening, but that the economy is returning to its pre-COVID low-growth trend—a good sign for investors.
