Institutional Perspective
01
Goldman Sachs
【Goldman Sachs boldly predicts : US stocks may rise 8% next year. Artificial intelligence will continue to lead the way】
On Monday, Goldman Sachs published its 2024 market outlook, saying it was broadly positive about the market and economic outlook for the year ahead. After two years of choppiness, the U.S. stock market is likely to avoid a bear market next year and the economy will avoid a recession in the next 12 months, according to Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs analysts predicted in their report that the S&P 500 could hit 4,700 next year, which would imply about 8% upside from Friday's closing price. Since 2022, the U.S. stock market has been in choppy territory, defined as a broadly flat market despite wild swings, according to Goldman strategists.

【UBS strategists boldly predicts : Fed will cut rates by 275 basis points next year, starting as soon as March】
Arend Kapteyn and Bhanu Baweja, strategic analysts at UBS, call out a bold 275 basis point rate cut next year in their latest report, which is nearly four times the prevailing market pricing. Analysts at UBS also said that continued inflation weakness would allow the Fed to cut rates as soon as March, similar to a typical easing cycle in the past.
03
ANZ Bank
【ANZ Bank:Central bank gold purchases remain strong and renewed political tensions will protect the downside】
Anz economists analyze the outlook for gold. Central bank gold purchases remain strong and renewed political tensions will protect the downside, they said. On top of that, with the US monetary tightening cycle over and the dollar about to peak, “we expect central bank gold purchases to remain strong. Based on the current purchasing pace, we raise our demand forecast from 750 tonnes in 2023 and 800 tonnes in 2024 to 1,050 tonnes.”
Fed Governor Christopher Waller's recent comments have highlighted a cautious stance towards adjusting interest rates, marking a significant moment for the financial markets.
In the forex market, stability was the theme for the U.S. dollar index, holding firm at 104.30. Minor fluctuations were observed across major currency pairs: the Euro slightly weakened against the dollar, closing at 1.0827
In the latest market wrap focusing on the foreign exchange sector, the U.S. dollar index showed minimal movement, holding at 104.31.
On Tuesday, due to February's US durable goods orders growth exceeding expectations and an optimistic economic growth outlook for the first quarter in the US, the US dollar index initially fell but then rose, briefly touching below the 104 mark before recovering during the US trading session, closing up 0.07% at 104.29.
