Like the rallies in the US markets, our rally is extremely sharp due to the very steep fall which witnessed happened over the last 1-2 weeks. Nevertheless, we must be mindful that the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic has yet to pass. The next 2 weeks may see more cases reported in Europe and America. If this scenario were to pan out, the market rally will falter. You should consider taking profit for some investment as well as selling off some weak stocks in your portfolio. Good luck!
