Don't Get Caught In Equity Rally Hype: Lessons From 2023 To Remember In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Neil Dennis
Bank of America's Global Equity Volatility Insights paper warns investors about potential risks in the equity market as we enter 2024. Despite a strong rally in 2023, with the S&P 500 and SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) nearing record highs, BofA cautions against FOMO-driven trading and the possibility of tech sector bubbles, particularly in the Mag7 stocks (META, AAPL, AMZN, GOOGL, MSFT, NVDA, TLSA). BofA also advises skepticism regarding the rates market's expectations of Fed rate cuts in 2024, suggesting investors take these predictions with caution.
