Gina Martin Adams discusses the 2024 market outlook
Looking ahead to 2024, Gina Martin Adams suggests that the hiking cycle is over, which removes an overhead risk from the equity market. She points out that while inflation may be temporarily contained, there are factors such as de-globalization, decarbonization, and federal government deficit spending that could contribute to future inflationary pressures. Gina also mentions the top sectors on her scorecard, including tech, communications, financials, and energy, highlighting their positive price momentum, earnings trend, and relative valuation metrics.
Shifting Market Conditions: Inflation and Bull Markets
The speaker discusses the changing market conditions, particularly in relation to inflation and the concept of bull markets. They mention that the market in 2023 did not have enough participation and energy stocks were getting obliterated throughout the year. They argue that the market conditions have shifted globally, pointing to strong gains in Europe, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and Indian equities. Additionally, they highlight the importance of considering the impact of inflation on market dynamics and trends, suggesting that the current environment differs from the previous decades. They draw parallels to the 1960s in terms of compressed business cycles, accelerating growth, and inflation volatility.
Implications of Onshoring and Changing Market Dynamics
The speaker discusses the shifting dynamics of economic growth, specifically the move away from services and the resurgence of goods production through onshoring. They indicate that the US economy is building new industries based on energy transition and manufacturing. This shift in growth dynamics may result in less dependence on trade and global markets, as companies diversify and reshore their supply chains. The speaker also highlights potential impacts on job creation, scarcity of labor, and wage considerations. They suggest that onshoring could benefit Mexico and the North to South American corridor, but note the importance of maintaining positive border relations. Additionally, they mention the potential opportunities in emerging markets, especially in countries like China, Middle East and North Africa, and Latin America.
