Marko Kolanovic, who two weeks ago tempered his bullish stance on stocks because of worsening geopolitical tensions, says now is the time to move back in.[NEW YORK] Marko Kolanovic, who two weeks ago tempered his bullish stance on stocks because of worsening geopolitical tensions, says now is the time to move back in.

A drop such as Thursday's should be bought, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co's quant guru. His reasoning is that it occurred in the absence of a further deterioration in US-China relations. Mr Kolanovic considers the three principal risks to US stocks to be that relationship, the Covid-19 pandemic and domestic social unrest.

A potential source of equity demand may be hedge funds, which have generally refrained from joining the equity rally, Mr Kolanovic predicts. Trend-following traders are likely to start raising equity exposure this summer, with volatility sitting at current levels, based on the firm's model. Then stock pickers will follow, buying the dips"opportunistically," he says.

"With the recent market pullback, we are again more comfortable with taking a positive view," Mr Kolanovic wrote in a note to clients."Positioning in equities did not increase significantly and China risks appear to be abating." Stocks rose Friday as the S&P 500 recovered some of Thursday's 5.9 per cent drop, which was the worst since March. Equities sold off earlier this week with signs of a second wave of coronavirus infections emerging in some states. Mr Kolanovic brushed aside the threat of a second wave in terms of a need for broad economic shutdowns, calling it"unlikely" given the knowledge about the virus already obtained during the outbreak.
