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:
Morgan Stanley
China reopening and European gas price decline delays US recession forecast to H223. 5.4% GDP China growth forecast. US equities unattractive. Bear market to finish early Q2 with S&P500 new lows expected. US earnings to disappoint consensus. Europe earnings to fall 10%. Bonds, specifically emerging markets appeal. Brent oil to return to $100/barrel by H2 23. Long term growth forecast sees India boom. Thematic opportunity in technological decarbonization accelerants.
Bank Of America
US (mild), UK and Euro area Q1 recessions. Three consecutive 25bp monthly rate hikes from February. Year-on-year Core CPI inflation at 2.8% by 2023 end. Weaker USD. Bonds and stocks to rebound H123 and H223 respectively. Positive 2023 return for 60/40 portfolios. 5.5% GDP China growth forecast, with property market no longer an economy drag.

Portfolio dynamism, diversification and EM allocation essential. Credit indexes deliver yield. Short-duration bonds key for current economic phase.
