She is bullish not because she expects an aggressive Fed easing cycle, but because of what the Fed has accomplished. US corporates have adapted to non-zero hurdle rates, some inflation and a more rational market backdrop. She believes the profits cycle has inflected higher and forecasts EPS of $235 (+6% YoY) in 2024 despite a decelerating GDP growth outlook. Historically, accelerating EPS and decelerating GDP has been the best environment for stocks. Election years have been positive for equities and bipartisan support for defense spending as well as near-shoring / US manufacturing and jobs are pro-cyclical. She is overweight Energy, Consumer Discretionary, Financials and Real Estate, and are underweight Tech, Consumer Staples, and Health Care. Source: BoA Merril RIC Report Jan 09, 2024. | |

This is set to translate into widening risk premia and downgrades to EPS expectations, with the resulting drag on equities only mildly offset by falling real bond yields (i.e. a lower discount rate for equities) on the back of dovish central banks. Our macro projections imply around 20% downside for the Stoxx 600 to 390 by the middle of the year, followed by a rebound to 420 by the end of the year, as improving growth momentum and a continued fade in real rates lead to renewed multiple expansion.

EM sovereigns returns should come mostly from yield, given that spreads and UST yields are already near our year-end 2024 targets. The high duration of the sovereign bonds provides some protection in case of a hard landing scenario, as decline in UST yields could offset spread widening. Corp: Neutral positioning on valuation following the Nov/Dec rally. Expect moderate to low returns driven by carry, possible mild spread expansion from current levels. EM elections and issuance key themes going into the next year. Source: BoA Merril RIC Report Jan 09, 2024. | |

That will end the 2022 - 2023 deleveraging cycle and high-quality issuer outperformance. Reasons for adding debt in 2024 include: 1) less need to improve balance sheets as recession fears fade, 2) slower economic growth encourages the use of leverage to improve EPS, 3) lower borrowing costs as the Fed cuts rates make debt cheaper. As a result, we continue to prefer BBB-rated industrials, which also still trade relatively cheap, although the gap is shrinking. We also screen for potential re-leveraging candidates inside.
