BCA: What to expect in Q2, 2015

BCA’s Global Investment Strategy service recently published their Strategy Outlook for Q2 2015. The quarterly report highlights the following points: 1) Global growth should remain broadly unchanged over the balance of the year, as stronger activity in most developed markets offsets a worsening outlook in emerging markets. 2) A modestly pro-risk stance is warranted. Remain overweight global equities and corporate credit, neutral on government bonds, and underweight cash. 3) Global bond yields will remain subdued as reflationary central bank policy takes center stage. The 10-year Treasury yield is heading to 1.5%. 4) Overweight euro area and Japanese equities. Reduce exposure to the U.S. on valuation concerns and margin pressures. An overall underweight in EM equities is warranted, but China deserves to be bought. 5) The commodity supercycle is over. There is little reason for oil or most metals to rebound anytime soon.
