ETF Strategies to Gain From US Market Optimism

Despite the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, S&P 500 profits will likely set a record in 2021, staging the fastest-ever recovery since at least the 1980s, according to a Monday note from DataTrek Research. Based on data from FactSet, Wall Street is expecting the S&P 500 to earn $168.38 per share in 2021, which would represent 3.9% growth over 2019's all-time high of $163.02 per share.

Two reasons why the S&P 500 will see its fastest-ever earnings recovery, DataTrek says

The ongoing equity bull market will remain intact over the next year, says Morgan Stanley. The firm expects the S&P 500 to rally to 3,900 by December 2021, implying an 8% climb from current levels. Morgan Stanley also says stock-picking will play an increasingly important role in separating winning investors from the rest. With interest rates set to rise as the economy recovers in 2021, investors who can find hidden gems in the market will be best positioned to outperform, the team wrote.

The S&P 500 will climb 8% in 2021 — and investors picking unloved stocks will profit the most, Morgan Stanley says

Stocks are once again set to start the week on the front foot, despite COVID-19 cases continuing to rise.
