The Strong Performance of the Economy in 2023
Despite predictions of a recession, the economy in 2023 exceeded expectations, outperforming forecasts and demonstrating strong growth. The consensus view for a recession was proven incorrect, as the economy performed better than anticipated. However, looking ahead to 2024, there is a possibility of slower growth or even stagnation. The current high valuations of the equity market, coupled with potentially aggressive earnings estimates, may lead to a pullback. Additionally, with the expectation of rate cuts from the Fed, there could be a progression of cuts throughout the year, impacting market dynamics.
