2020 has thus far been a year filled with economic, social and emotional turbulence and hardship. Fear and uncertainty regarding the forward path of Covid-19 has left numerous corporate income statements devoid of much needed revenue after a decade of indulging on cheap debt, which altered the financial health of many companies. Moreover, bankruptcy filings of companies with liabilities of at least $50 million are on pace to be the most since the recession that followed the financial crisis back in 2008. But the situation would have been much worse had the Fed not instituted an enormous open-ended bond purchasing program, along with numerous liquidity facilities targeted at corporate bonds among other asset classes.

Investment Outlook | Second Quarter 2020: Eyes Wide Shut
A severe recession. Massive unemployment. A global pandemic infecting 13 million people. Populist uprisings in search of social justice. Trade disputes growing. Geopolitical tensions on the rise.
Companies abandon earnings guidance. Traders speculate in bankrupt companies. Oil producers commence a price war.
Not, seemingly, the ideal set-up for a major market rally. Especially one following immediately on the heels of a rapid, deep market plunge. Indeed, market participants had to shut their eyes to multiple concerns, to avert their eyes from a plethora of challenges threatening domestic and international political and economic stability.
