Market participants remain focused on COVID-19 and the Federal Reserve as we enter the new year. In our 2022 Market Outlook, Stratos Private Wealth President Jeff Brown discusses these key themes and the affect they could have on the market in 2022. Here are the takeaways:
- Potential reversals that would be positive for markets include a change in the COVID landscape, supply chain moderation and a slowing in the rate of inflation
- Potential reversals that could be negative are a slowing economic and earnings growth, a more restrictive Fed and valuation adjustments
- Stratos Private Wealth believes the Fed holds the key to 2022
- Future asset price appreciation is likely to be lower than previous years, especially in assets that have outperformed
- Stratos Private Wealth is still overweight equities vs bonds and cash
We continue to monitor our indicators and are prepared to make tactical changes as the economic landscape shifts. Please contact Stratos Private Wealth if you would like to discuss your specific situation in more detail.
