Market outlook November 2024

Market outlook by the Allocation and Global Fixed Income team in Storebrand Asset Management 

An overview of recent market developments and macroeconomic conditions, as well as our over- and underweight positions. This primarily discusses equity, bonds, and money markets. Alternative investments, such as real estate and private equity, will not be systematically covered in the report, but such products should also be included in a long-term investment portfolio.

Key points

  • The U.S. presidential election is in focus, and interest rates are rising in anticipation of “Trumpflation.”
  • Further upgrades to U.S. growth prospects are also contributing to the increase in interest rates and the scaling down of rate cut expectations moving forward.
  • Consensus inflation expectations have declined, but they are expected to rise if Trump wins and implements his economic policies.

Historical returns are no guarantee of future returns. Future returns will depend, among other things, on market developments, the manager's skills, the fund's risk profile and management fees. The returns can be negative as a result of price losses. There is risk associated with investments in the fund due to market movements, developments in currency, interest rates, economic conditions, industry- and company-specific conditions. Before investing, customers are advised to familiarize themselves with the fund's key information and prospectus, which contains further information about the fund's characteristics and costs.
