adminFriday’s big decline has JPMorgan traders telling clients to buy the dip, but not without protection. “We are of the view that investors should buy the dip as we maintain our Tactical Bullish view but think it prudent to exercise cautious in the very near-term,” they said in a note to clients. “Our bullish view is guided by (i) resilient macro data, (ii) positive earnings growth where expectations could increase materially if Banks do well this week; and (iii) the potential for de-escalation in the trade war not just US / China but US / EU, US / UK, and US / Canada.” President Donald Trump sent stocks tumbling on Friday after he threatened to hit Chinese imports with a “massive” tariff hike.
