Taking into account that GDP growth is modest, potential for further rise in the market capitalisation of the index appears as limited. 3

Based on our expectation of quite subdued GDP growth, the risk lies with households net worth value subsiding possibly including equities correction.

Consumption is the supportive factor for US GDP. ISM non- manufacturing (services) index has risen in July at a high (60.3) since Aggressive monetary easing policy of the Fed during the past years has played a vital role in supporting economy.

Sales positive surprises are 41.1% (as of 11/8) versus an average of around 49% Positive Surprises Earnings per share, Despite that 68% of companies are beating earnings estimates, it appears that on an aggregate index level (where index weights, weight rebalancings and the $ size of beating/missing estimate all do matter), S&P 500 index EPS forecast tends to be overestimated.

13 From a long term perspective, valuation looks stretched Looking at the cyclically adjusted Shiller s P/E ratio (CAPE) the index appears as overvalued from a long term perspective. According to Shiller s P/E estimate, cyclically adjusted P/E is at 26.7 versus the Shiller s P/E 100 years average of 16.7 (last 30 years Shiller s P/E average is calculated at 23.8).

18 S&P 500: technical outlook S&P 500 is trading (11/8: 2,084) above the 200-days moving average (2,073). However, on the daily chart, MACD is producing downwards divergence signal. Support is placed at 2,015 and at the area of 1,940 (Fibonacci retracement levels 38.2% & 61.8%: 1,821-2,135). Resistance is placed at the area of 2,135 (historic high of May 2015). Looking at the weekly chart, the index remains in range trading. The upper bound of the weekly Bollinger Bands is at the area of 2,136 and the lower bound at the area of
19 S&P 500: Close to peak for 2015 Our view is that S&P 500 is currently (11/8: 2.084) close to peak-point, which we locate at the area of This embodies an expected level of 2.6% government bond yield. We expect subdued EPS yearly growth for the full year 2015 of 1.5%. EPS yoy growth estimate is based on US GDP growth and headline CPI yoy change. The above would imply P/E ratio of 18.7 (which stands at 72% percentile of historic series). Stretched valuation can make the level of S&P 500 vulnerable to unexpected factor moves. In case, US-10year Treasury yield persistently rises to a level of 2.9% this can be associated with a drop for the index down to 1,880 points. Another risk is deflation. In case deflation (instead of disinflation) comes up, we expect a negative impact on EPS as corporations pricing power will likely be less. If inflation at -1% then this could imply a drop of -2.6% yoy in EPS. 19
