Tech Stock Rally To Continue As Global Fund Managers Position For Soft Landing In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
The Bank of America's Global Fund Manager Survey for November indicates a bullish outlook for large-cap tech stocks into 2024, with fund managers increasing their positions in anticipation of a soft economic landing, lower interest rates, and a weaker U.S. dollar. The survey shows a net 38% long on big tech, with significant year-to-date stock price increases for Alphabet Inc. (GOOG/GOOGL), Microsoft Corp (MSFT), Intel (INTC), and Apple Inc. (AAPL). The dollar index's decline and a shift towards U.S. and Japanese equities are also highlighted.
