2024 Mid-Year and Asset Allocation Outlook ft. David Chao
David Chao believes mixed economic data coupled with surprising election outcomes could have important implications for financial markets in the months and years ahead. Watch his latest video update to learn more.
Transcript
Hi, I am David Chao, Global Market Strategist for Invesco Asia Pacific.
The strong performance of many assets over the past four months reflected more optimism about the state of the global economy.
Most notably, March delivered a long-awaited broadening in the US equity market to more cyclical sectors and factors such as value and mid- and small-cap stock – and I think this trend is likely to continue.
Still, US Equities have performed very well and the potential there is limited. In hunt for better returns of the coming quarter, I am overweight EM equities, and REITs, which have the potential to produce the best returns given low valuations.
From a fixed income perspective, I think emerging market government bonds and higher quality non-investment grade debt, such as senior loans, private credit are likely to do well.
Commodities which have lagged and may benefit from an economic upturn. So I'm warming up there. Within currencies, I am underweight the US dollar and overweight the Japanese Yen.
There continues to be much debate on when the Fed is going to start cutting rates. While our base case remains in June, it’s possible that inflation and interest rates could continue to be elevated.
In an increasingly complex global environment, APAC investors are reminded to remain diversified yet adaptive to changing market conditions.
