FXStreet reports that economists at UBS recommend investors diversify for the next leg, hunt for yield and position for a weaker dollar in 2021.
“We expect equity markets to continue moving higher in 2021, but think some of 2020's laggards will 'catch up'. We think 2021 will be about going cyclical, small, and global as the sectors and markets most heavily affected by lockdowns start to revive. US stocks, particularly large caps, will start to underperform other markets at some stage in the coming year.”
“We expect interest rates on cash and bond yields to stay at very low levels for the foreseeable future. This makes it harder to find income and investors will need to consider being more active or finding alternative means of earning income. We think investors can still find positive real returns in emerging market USD-denominated sovereign bonds, Asian high yield and bonds in the ‘crossover zone’ between investment grade and high yield, globally.”
