Episode overview
Pessimists were proved wrong in 2023 as stocks rallied and the global economy escaped a sharp downturn. Equities are set to outperform bonds, boosted by company sales growth and elevated profits.
The backdrop for bonds is also positive as central banks are expected to cut interest rates, which should lead to higher bond prices.
Last year the S&P 500 was dramatically lifted by the performance of the ‘Magnificent Seven’, consisting of tech companies like Microsoft and Alphabet. This year the US market could broaden out beyond artificial intelligence-led stocks to unloved areas like energy and small caps if a recession is avoided.
