Q2 2021 Review & Outlook with the Matco Investment Team

There are many theories about how the terms bull market and bear market came to be, but the most popular explanation is how each animal attacks. A bull attacks by lowering its head and using its horns to lift “up” its opponents, while a bear attacks by raising its front legs and using its paws to swipe “down” at its opponents. Thus, when the market is trending “up,” it’s termed a bull market and when the market is trending “down,” it’s termed a bear market; a bear market is confirmed when a market declines by 20% or more.
The first two quarters of 2021 have been very positive for investment markets around the world. Economic data continues to surprise on the upside.
