Miles Lewis recently joined host Oliver Renick on TD Ameritrade Network’s Market On Close to discuss his take on current market conditions.

In the interview, Miles discussed that he is bullish on a recovery based on the household debt service ratio being at a 40-year low, both ISM surveys expanding again, the strong housing market, and the yield curve steepening again.

“I think investors have gotten remarkably complacent that the things that have done well in the last 10 years will be the leaders going forward,” Miles said. “And it’s interesting, because the winds of change are blowing everywhere in the world right now, whether it’s consumer behaviors or social justice issues. And nobody thinks that those things are going to go back to where they were, yet in the financial markets it’s very comforting to think that worked the last 10 years will continue to work going forward.”
