Saxo Q1 Outlook: What happened to the future?

Saxo has today published its for global markets, including trading ideas covering equities, FX, currencies, commodities and bonds, as well as a range of central macro themes impacting client portfolios. In Q4 of last year, Saxo called for investors to take a long position on as the bank’s strategists recognised that the global economy cannot deal with historically high real yields, as productivity and population growth are simply not high enough. With a historically long lag to monetary policy, the high bond yields in 2023 are finally beginning to bite, and central banks are priced to cut policy rates in 2024, changing the underlying dynamics.

Steen Jakobsen, Chief Investment Officer, commented: Damian Hitchen, Chief Executive Officer at Saxo Bank MENA, said: “While geopolitical uncertainties persist, the Middle East’s strategic position in energy markets and its drive toward economic diversification offer compelling investment avenues. The UAE and Saudi Arabia, in particular, continue to spearhead innovation and economic reforms, providing promising opportunities in technology, renewable energy, advanced manufacturing and other non-Petro industries. As we navigate Q1, we remain attentive to both the global and regional landscape and look to provide relevant and engaging insights into the region’s resilience and strategic positioning.
