Nuveen Asset Management’s Bob Doll reviews various growth signs that remain moderate but steady. "U.S. equities rose again last week as the S&P 500 increased 0.66%, with an overall gain for the year of 9.96%. The remarkable resilience of the U.S. economy against fiscal cliff headwinds has boosted equity investor sentiment. The U.S. macroeconomic outperformance has also helped U.S. equities outperform global counterparts. Investor preference toward the U.S. has largely been confirmed by rising flows into U.S. equities."

Gary Thayer, Wells Fargo's Chief Macro Strategist, looks back at the three year bull market run in stocks and why he believes buying on the dips is a good idea. "The U.S. stock market remains in an upward trend that began three years ago during the depths of the 2008-2009 recession and financial crisis. The good news is the fundamentals are still positive and market valuations are favorable. Therefore, the current bull market probably has further to run. We continue to favor buying stocks on pullbacks."

Wells Fargo's Chief Macro Strategist Gary Thayer explains their thoughts on the stock market, economy, fixed income and more.

This report will highlight our views, which are mostly unchanged from our 2012 economic and market outlook report titled "Preparing for Better Days."

Wells Fargo's Chief Macro Strategist, Gary Thayer, believes the U.S. economy and the stock market are unlikely to be as impacted from rising oil prices compared to last year. "Energy prices are rising and many investors are probably saying "Here we go again." After all, a year ago rising oil and gasoline prices, along with other factors, contributed to stock market weakness in the second and third quarters of 2011. At this point, it looks like oil prices could move higher in the short run because of increased tensions in the Middle-East. However, many factors are different this year from last year."

Chief Macro Strategist at Wells Fargo, Gary Thayer, looks at some of the similarities and differences between this year and 2011. "Stock market volatility has subsided considerably during the past few weeks, following the extreme volatility of last summer. As a result, the U.S. stock market advance during the first seven weeks of this year has been almost a steady rise in prices. A year ago, the stock market also rose steadily at the start of the year but conditions deteriorated by mid-year."

Gary Thayer, Chief Macro Strategist at Wells Fargo, examines the cash on the sidelines story and what it would take for some of it to flow into the financial markets. "Individuals and businesses are holding more cash as a precaution against unexpected events. This is often referred to as "cash on the sidelines," which could come into the stock market at some point. It is important to understand why people are holding more cash and what needs to happen in order for some of that money to go into the market."

Gary Thayer, Chief Macro Strategist at Wells Fargo, believes the market is more likely to experience a correction rather than a reversal in its recent upward trend. "New economic data show that the U.S. economy grew at the fastest pace in six quarters during the final three months of last year. The economy is clearly not in recession but still faces many problems. Investors have responded positively to the good economic news during the past few months, and the stock market has rallied considerably from its 2011 lows last fall. With all this good news factored into current prices, the stock market recovery is probably due for a time out."

Roosevelt Investments provides their thoughts on the US economy, European sovereign debt issues and commodities in their August commentary. "There has been an explosion in market volatility over the past few weeks fueled by the debt ceiling debacle, the subsequent rating downgrade of U.S. Treasuries, weak macroeconomic data and a continuing sovereign debt crisis in Europe. The Federal Reserve has responded with a first step in what could ultimately be some heavyweight infusions of liquidity, and as a result the market is attempting to stabilize."
