The outlook for 2025 holds many potential twists and turns for the global markets and economy, but what are three pressing matters all should consider as we move into the year? At StoneX’s Natural Resources Day 3.0, StoneX Chief Market Strategist Kathryn Rooney Vera and Director of Global Macro Strategy Vincent Deluard, CFA along with Senior Advisor Jon Hilsenrath weighed in on three prominent influences over the course ahead. Monetary policy was top of mind with the rate cut fervor in the later half of 2024 seeming to stumble. Meanwhile, changes in political tides in the United States and other regions call to attention the course of trade relations and fiscal policies. The experts weigh in on these topics with sometimes different takes on what the future may hold. Read the overview here. https://lnkd.in/gnXwNV7h

"Global markets went berserk on Monday in one of the worst trading days in recent memory as fears of a slowdown in the U.S. economy helped drive declines in stock markets in Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Pick of the Day This table dates back to earlier this year but not much has changed over the past quarter, the US still dominates. For the Wealth Manager, this presents a conundrum wrapped in an opportunity. Should one's investment portfolio mirror this hegemony, allocating 20% to Asia and a mere 14% to Europe, regardless of the client' domicile or base currency? This isn't just food for thought; it's a full-course meal of strategic decision-making. Should one consider the MSCI World Index instead, with its hefty 71% allegiance to US markets—a figure that overshadows even our initial table. US investors seldom deviate from their home base and prefer investing all their assets locally. But here's a thought: what if we sliced the pie differently, using GDP as our knife? This approach doesn't just add flavor; it connects our financial strategies directly to the pulse of the global economy, offering a taste of real-world relevance. In essence, navigating these waters requires more than a compass; it demands a map that reflects the world's economic terrain as much as its financial currents. #markets #stockmarket #wealth

To investors' dismay, the start of the second half of 2024 has been the antithesis of the first half as they grapple with a number of macro factors including equity market rotations out of mega cap AI winners, diverging U.S. and Japan monetary policy, and confounding labor market data, all contributing to recent elevated volatility. While volatility may continue in the near term, we believe there are potential opportunities in U.S. mid-cap equities, as well as a barbell of high-quality cyclicals and less rate-sensitive defensives.
