The market has hit its fifth day of gains and is sitting around 3 per cent lower than it was mid-February last year with the economy expected to recover fully by next week, according to InvestSmart Chief Market Strategist Evan Lucas. “The way we’re going, we’re going to get there probably mid next week and nothing seems to be slowing it down despite the fact there are some hesitations,” he told Sky News. Mr Lucas said even though JobKeeper had ended and around 100,000 people had lost their jobs it did not affect the market as the support systems and low interest rates remain. “Everything in the market at the moment is to the upside because everything we hear at the moment is that the economy is not only good, it’s growing, and the support in the economy from things like central banks is not going to be taken away any time soon.”
