Diversification will play role in driving global markets further
The bull market run in US equities (^GSPC, ^IXIC, ^DJI) continues, pushing the asset class to dominate global markets, with top companies worth more than all those in Asia combined. Citi Wealth chief investment strategist Steven Wieting joins Market Domination to note that this trend is driven by large, innovative firms. Though, he warns against taking this growth for granted, especially with the dollar (DX=F, DX-Y.NYB) at its second-highest level in history. "There are places where you just see some relatively dynamic growth and low expectations. Just think about low expectations," Wieting says, citing countries like Brazil's strong rebound despite facing recent challenges. Wieting also highlights broadening profit gains across sectors, such as healthcare (XLV) and mid-sized companies, as signs of diversified market performance in 2024 and beyond. For investors seeking balance, Wieting emphasizes that "diversification is the name of the game," noting that fixed-income (^TYX, ^TNX, ^FVX) assets offer competitive returns.
