Individual investors are often bombarded with specific stock calls and targets.
However, we believe you can get a better medium to long term perspective by considering asset class, sector, thematic and macro economic views.
To help you, every week, we pour through the research produced by some of the larger institutions, and summarize their market thoughts.
Below are this week’s 3 updates:
Bank Of America
Forecast recession in H123 and thus favour bonds over equities. The latter could rebound in H223. Like small-cap and EM stocks. Rates to peak and corporate profits should bottom out by mid-23. 60/40 portfolio to return to positive territory in 2023. China rebound in Q323 with potential increased demand for commodities. US mild downturn. Risks are higher energy prices, US-China trade war and regime shift in Iran.
HSBC
Fed rate terminates at 4.75% in Q1 2023. US growth below-trend. UK & Europe in recession. Seek investment grade credit & quality equities that generate cash with low debt levels. USD remains bullish until year end. Food, Energy, Staples, & Infrastructure attractive. Diversification key to offset uncertainty. China to rebound mid-year. Will take longer for inflation to return to 2% target than CB forecasts. Investor sentiment net positive for EM markets.
Credit Suisse
UK in recession, Europe to enter a recession, US mild growth, China to bounce back. Risk to US growth is oil price rally and deeper European recession. Global Industrial Production momentum is contracting albeit global risk appetites are normal. In 2023, despite inflation peaking, rate hikes to continue throughout the year and any potential easing would be in 2024. Like US IG, EM $ FI debt. HY FI to underperform.
