S&P 500 Likely To 'Test The 5,000 Level': JP Morgan On Where To Allocate In 2024
Portfolio Pulse from Surbhi Jain
JPMorgan Chase & Co (NYSE:JPM) predicts the S&P 500 will test the 5,000 level in 2024, recommending overweight positions in U.S. and Japanese equities, U.S. Treasury, and high-yield corporate debt. They suggest underweight positions in European equity and Emerging Markets (ex-China). JPMorgan expects U.S. equities to see broadened performance beyond tech, with an earnings growth estimate of 7% into the next year. They also see potential in Japanese stocks due to corporate governance reforms. In fixed-income, they recommend U.S. Treasuries and high-yield corporate debt, anticipating rate cuts in 2024. The US dollar is expected to weaken, and cash returns are set to fall.
