One space I cowl within the Outlook 2024 is the teachings of Raymond Lo and the way he sees the upcoming 12 months of the Dragon. A part of my feedback on his evaluation relies on this assertion by Lo:
“Many has the misunderstanding that the Dragon is glamorous auspicious animal and can at all times convey good luck. On the contrary, Dragon and Canine within the 12-animal system is known as the “Gate to Heaven and Hell” or the “Web of Heaven and Hell”.
Therefore, 2024 may see positive factors. We’re agnostic and undoubtedly trying to charts, particularly junk bonds, small caps and retail.
Curiously, customers and whether or not you name it revenge spending or YOLO, are nonetheless very a lot within the recreation. Disposable revenue is powerful with sure areas of inflation coming down, though nonetheless increased than what numbers recommend. The dialogue of the speed hike cycle on the finish is controversial. Statistically, there was a serious monetary failure on the finish of every price hike cycle since 1965.
At the moment, the catalyst for monetary stress may very well be the rising debt, rising spending, geopolitical points impacting provide chain and a contentious election 12 months. And something that gooses inflation will cease the Fed from slicing.
January 2024 will see a brand new 6-month calendar vary reset — will probably be crucial this time, with many predicting the tip of the primary quarter with a selloff. Though the stats are on the aspect of a better market, this 12 months of the dragon suggests some irritation that might flip the market on its aspect with extra volatility.
Listed here are 17 Predictions:

- Oil and NatGas usually are not price buying and selling in the interim.
- Shoppers that spent the final ½ of 2023 in YOLO or revenge spending go into vainness mode 2024, as style, magnificence, skincare, elective surgical procedures, self-help, possibly relationship shares do properly — all about me!
- Banks may do properly, however we have to see regional banks lead.
