The year 2024 will be remembered as a historic year as the year gone by saw an ugly part of inflation…..pushing interest rates higher and geopolitical uncertainties led by the fallout of the Russia-Ukraine Twar, headwinds in China both on account of the country’s zero covid-tolerance policy and political tension with Taiwan. Indeed the world is going through a challenging period. Besides pandemicinduced global supply chain challenges, the Ukraine Russia war saga continued to give shocks across the globe creating inflationary pressures, driving up prices of energy—crude oil, coal and gas — and food. The US Federal Reserve, thereafter, embarked on a rate-hike cycle and the major other central banks followed the suit. Then there came the end of “Era of lower interest rates”. And this, in turn, has now fanned fear of a global recession. The S&P 500 is down 20% year-to-date, and with bonds simultaneously experiencing their worst year in history.
As we know that Global economy is going through a tough phase and it will have consequences on global cyclicals. So, one need to be a little bit cautious. However, economic and market indicators suggest that India’s outperformance may continue in the New Year too. Since valuations are on the higher side, investors should take buying opportunity in high-quality stocks that are least impacted by the global crisis. Companies with stronger fundamentals and less cyclicity will continue to outperform. In this year end report, some stocks are recommended with long term prospective. Investors should continue with the staggered buying approach and add a dash of spice to their portfolio.
