Go small and ex-US

Yesterday stocks and bonds rallied after the Fed signalled interest rate cuts coming up next year. The Fed dot plot signalled 75 bps reduction of interest rates coming in 2024, a sharper fall than forecast a month ago. This morning futures in Asia and Europe are all up. We would not be surprised other central banks to follow in the more dovish stance. Time for us to look at valuations again and where the opportunities could lie in 2024. On all traditional valuation measures small caps and stocks outside of the US look the most attractive. Time to go small and ex US.
