How will rate cuts affect bonds in 2024?

With inflation moderating, most central banks are expected to cut rates this year. This will weigh on cash returns. However, bond markets, which incorporate a significant premium over inflation, remain attractive as an important diversifier and offer an income stream. Investors should look to quality issuers amid a global economic slowdown.

The Allure of Asia

Asia is the biggest global growth engine, providing plenty of investment opportunities and diversification for investors globally. India stands out for its strong growth prospects, but Indonesia is also attractive due to its rapid urbanisation, upgraded manufacturing and vast resources, while South Korea benefits from the AI-driven global tech upcycle.

The building blocks of US resilience

The tailwinds of rate cuts, continued disinflation and strong earnings growth should make the US an attractive market this year. Structural trends, such as the tech revolution, healthcare innovation and re-industrialisation, are also driving long-term growth in several sectors. In spite of the upside, volatility is likely and investors should focus on quality companies.
