The good news is already priced into US equities: Strategist

BNP Paribas Asset Management chief market strategist Daniel Morris says while the good news is priced in for US stocks (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC), yet, the market remains his top regional pick. "All the good news is likely to be priced into US equities and perhaps all the bad news priced into, for example, European equities," Morris says, explaining, "At that point, the marginal surprise really should be coming out of Europe. So, I think that's what we want to be watching for." The strategist notes, "For the most part, you would anticipate probably still above average economic growth in the US for the next year or so over the long term." He adds, "We're still overweight [for] most US equities because we think the fundamentals support it, and even if it is a consensus trade, that doesn't necessarily make it the wrong one." He says that exposure to emerging markets can help diversify investors' portfolios, and highlights Asian markets: "Asia clearly also has several semiconductor angles that I think you can look at in the medium term."

Trump's tariff policy is not 'just a threat': PIMCO expert

Markets (^DJI, ^IXIC, ^GSPC) are anticipating a potentially pro-growth environment under the second Trump administration. PIMCO Head of US Public Policy Libby Cantrill joins Market Domination to discuss her current market outlook. "We do think you have to take the president seriously on the risk of tariffs," she tells Yahoo Finance. "We don't necessarily think it's just a threat to get concessions from other countries," noting these could significantly impact market dynamics. "Will he [President-elect Donald Trump] do exactly what he's saying? Probably not, but I also think that folks who are just thinking this is just a threat, that this is all bark and no bite, aren't necessarily paying attention to what the president-elect has been saying for almost four decades about tariffs, and about trade deficits, and just generally about protectionism," she explains. Regarding market dynamics, Cantrill believes that the fixed-income market (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX) is currently more priced for tail risks, while the equity market appears "priced to perfection."

Mag 7 stocks serve as defensive plays in 2025: Citi strategist

2024 has been "one big valuation surprise" that has been "dominated by the [Magnificent] Seven megacap growth cohort," Citi head of US equity strategy Scott Chonert tells Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton on Market Domination. The strategist says not only does the Magnificent Seven group, made up of Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOG, GOOGL), Tesla (TSLA), Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Meta Platforms (META), and Apple (AAPL), has more room to run in 2025, the stocks could actually function as a defensive play amid market uncertainty. "We're thinking the Mag Seven actually unfold as a quasi staple," Chronert says, explaining, "Usually you go to [consumer] staples when you have uncertain economic conditions because of the persistence of earnings growth." "The Mag Seven, we think, that forward-looking earnings growth for certainly for [2025] and probably into [2026] is fairly visible. So all told, when you get concerned about other things at work in the market and the economy, the Mag Seven actually have this potential to be a quote, defensive if you will." The strategist highlights the phrase "growth is defensive," saying, "That's what's going on here." He notes, "These companies probably can't just live on meeting expectations. They need to continue to meet beat and then probably raise forward expectations as well" to maintain their "defensive" status.
