If you listen to the media, virtually the entire focus is on how much more equities can decline. That's typical when things reach an extreme and is a contrary indicator. Many people, globally speaking, have put money into money markets which are yielding more than the inflation rate in many countries. As short-term interest rates continue to be cut, these money markets will pay progressively lower returns, which will soon be less than the inflation rate.

With a negative real rate of return, investors will initially seek out equities, and eventually also commodities, as viable alternatives to money markets and bonds.

We are much closer to a bottom, intermediate term, than you think.
