The MSCI measure of world stocks is up 13% for November so far, while the S&P 500 has climbed 11% to all-time peaks. “However, we are now in a seasonally strong time of year and investors are yet to fully discount the potential for a very strong recovery next year in growth and profits as stimulus combines with vaccines.”
