April 2024
A window of opportunity for European equities
In this edition, Eric Mijot, Head of Global Equity Strategy - Amundi Investment Institute discusses:
- After a strong 5-month rally, global equity markets, driven by the mega caps, are implicitly factoring in a strong rebound in the economy and profits.
- A breather and/or a broadening of the participants in this rally make sense, opening a window of opportunity for lagging cyclical and value stocks.
- European markets could participate, with small caps also joining in eventually. Their profits have started to outperform, unlike their share prices, making them more attractive.
