Our usual format will return in January.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From higher interest rates to near-record inflation, 2023 tested investors\u2019 mettle. On the geopolitical front, conflict in the Middle East has joined the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as a source of uncertainty and potential instability, while in the United States, a significant presidential election is on the horizon. Meanwhile, for markets, 2023 may be best remembered as the year developments in artificial intelligence (AI) took the world by storm, propelling the stock prices of the \u2018Magnificent Seven\u2019 tech companies\u2014Apple, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia\u2014into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>From higher interest rates to near-record inflation, 2023 tested investors\u2019 mettle.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we look ahead to 2024, questions on these and other issues remain, and new questions will surely present themselves. What forces will shape markets and economies over the next 12 months? And how will they affect investors\u2019 portfolios?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This special issue of BMO GAM\u2019s Monthly House View represents our best insights into what the coming year may hold\u2014based on extensive research, hard data, and our team\u2019s experience and expertise. With topics ranging from fiscal policy and corporate leverage to the emergence of Alternative investments and the state of the traditional 60% equity\/40% bonds portfolio, these are 10 big investment trends to watch in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-recession\">#1: RECESSION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-bad-is-the-economic-consensus\">How Bad is the Economic Consensus?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Predictions of a recession date back more than a year, and many analysts\u2014including us\u2014still see a mild downturn as the most likely scenario; Canada, in fact, may already be rolling into a technical recession. It\u2019s important, however, for investors not to pay too much attention to the economic consensus when making long-term investment decisions. 2024 is likely to see the peak effects of monetary policy tightening and reveal a weaker economy, which is no surprise. For investors, that just means that 2024 could turn out to be the year for fixed income to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"442\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/recession_bloomberg_en.jpg\" alt=\"Bloomberg Consensus Estimates for 2023 Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth\" class=\"wp-image-200387 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/recession_bloomberg_en.jpg 730w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/recession_bloomberg_en-700x424.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/recession_bloomberg_en-300x182.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; aspect-ratio: 730\/442;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg, BMO GAM, as of October 31, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-inflation\">#2: INFLATION<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-rising-prices-transitory-after-all\">Are Rising Prices Transitory After All?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflation fears dominated 2023, with echoes of the double-digit inflation of the 1970s reverberating in investors\u2019 minds. The good news is that over the past several months, rising prices have largely normalized, calming some of those concerns.

In the United States, net interest outlays for 2023 surged past $1 trillion and are continuing to rise. At the same time, public opinion seems to be shifting, with voters indicating increasing unhappiness with the ongoing policy mix. Is austerity the answer? Unlikely\u2014history tells us that fiscal austerity virtually guarantees a recession. In our view, the path of least resistance for policy-makers is lower interest rates, and perhaps tolerance for an inflation rate of 3% rather than the traditional 2% target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"442\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_total_debt_en.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Total Public Debt Outstanding: Heading to $35 Trillion in 2024\" class=\"wp-image-200389 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_total_debt_en.jpg 730w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_total_debt_en-700x424.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_total_debt_en-300x182.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; aspect-ratio: 730\/442;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg, BMO GAM, as of October 31, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"442\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_federal_debt_en.jpg\" alt=\"U.S. Interest Payment Federal Debt\" class=\"wp-image-200390 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_federal_debt_en.jpg 730w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_federal_debt_en-700x424.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/fiscal_policy_federal_debt_en-300x182.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; aspect-ratio: 730\/442;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg, BMO GAM, as of October 31, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-monetary-policy\">#4: MONETARY POLICY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-higher-for-longer-interest-rates-will-be-tested\">Higher-for-Longer Interest Rates Will Be Tested<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As the debt burden grows, real economic growth and inflation are poised to continue cooling into 2024.

But more recently, bond yields at levels not seen since before the Global Financial Crisis of 2007\u20132008 have helped to rejuvenate the 60\/40 portfolio and justified its fixed income allocation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" height=\"442\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/60_40_balanced_en.jpg\" alt=\"Time to Embrace the Ballast of Higher Interest Rates\" class=\"wp-image-200397 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/60_40_balanced_en.jpg 730w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/60_40_balanced_en-700x424.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/12\/60_40_balanced_en-300x182.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 730px) 100vw, 730px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 730px; aspect-ratio: 730\/442;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Bloomberg, BMO GAM, as of October 31, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-closing-remarks\">CLOSING REMARKS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2023 has delivered several positive surprises to investors as the economy navigated through a challenging environment dominated by elevated inflation and interest rates. In many ways, we think investors should feel more confident heading into the new year as the worst of the storm is largely behind us. We expect 2024 to be more about the long-and-variable lags of monetary policy. In contrast to 2023, this should help limit the scope for meaningful upside economic surprises and potentially reveal recession scars, most notably in Canada, but also in Europe. In this context, 2024 should see central banks normalize their policy stance and cut interest rates. While we think there is a wider set of macroeconomic paths for fixed income to shine in 2024, the performance of equities might ultimately depend on how successful central banks will be at delivering a soft landing, especially in the U.S. The continuation of \u2018immaculate disinflation\u2019 would likely be a moderate tailwind for risk assets, but we also recognize that history has generally not been kind to equities when global economic activity rolls into a recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>In many ways, we think investors should feel more confident heading into the new year as the worst of the storm is largely behind us.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What recent history has proven is that it\u2019s crucial for investors to be nimble when navigating turbulent financial markets. While investors might find such environments nerve-racking, they generally prove ideal for more tactical opportunities in portfolio solutions as markets can often switch from exuberance and mania to excessive pessimism and fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted December 2023 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmogam.com\/ca-en\/advisors\/insights\/10-big-investment-trends-for-2024\/\">10 Big Investment Trends for 2024<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> What forces will shape markets and economies over the next 12 months?
