22 May 2015 US Equity Insights Risk of a near term 5%+ dip is high We believe the probability of a 5%+ dip is high this summer and our tactical call remains Down given the S&P now at an even higher PE than a year ago, heightened uncertainty in 10yr yields, weak earnings growth and continued soft economic data. We haven't had a 5%+ dip this year. Historically 5%+ dips are common and happen at least once a year since 1960, except 1964, 1993 & 1995. It has been 916 trading days (3.6 years) since a 10% correction. Selloff triggers could be a further rise in 10yr yields especially if UE keeps falling amidst slow economic growth and Fed remains unclear on first hike timing, or a jump in the dollar upon the Fed expressing firm intentions to hike in Sept. {Figure 14: Intervals between I (r,ri+ corrections o 2000 1 a 11300 • t 1600 gs 1400 2 1200 I RI' 1000 g eoo 600.1 2 400 zoo 0 Soucy SIR Ditacnt art Sulev: 367 of Tracing Days between Two 10%.
