Can US Exceptionalism Endure?

Nadège Dufossé, Asset Allocation
For the past decade, US stock markets have largely dominated the rest of the world, thanks to strong momentum in the technology sector and a favorable macroeconomic environment. Paradoxically, since the election of Donald Trump, this trend has reversed and the US market seems to have temporarily lost this leadership role.

    A broad field of shifts

    We maintain an overweight stance on global equities, adopting a more balanced approach across sectors and regions.

In addition to attractive valuation multiples, the eurozone has benefited from improving macro data (the composite PMI edged into expansionary territory at 50.2 in January and retail sales have risen for five consecutive months) and the ongoing rate-cutting cycle from the European Central Bank (ECB), while the Fed has decided to pause rate cuts.

    Alternatives perform well during Technology scare selloff

    Investors had a few months to get mentally prepared for the return of Donald Trump to the White House.

    Markets seem now more vulnerable to surprises and event risks

    Over the month of January, rates markets ended up at much the same point where they stood at the beginning of the year, but masking significant intra-month volatility.

2025 EMD Outlook: Beware of Fiscal Folly

The global macro environment will likely favour further dollar strength, despite the strong appreciation since the US elections in early November. Under President Trump’s second administration, we may even test the dollar highs seen during Paul Volcker’s Federal Reserve chairmanship in the 1980s.

Trump 2.0 and Merger Arbitrage - Green light from the White House?
