Monthly Market Views: January 2025

Commentary by Monica Defend

4 themes driving markets:
  • US policy to drive short term growth amid trade tensions.
  • Central banks to balance rate cuts with inflation concerns.
  • Geopolitical shifts present risks and opportunities in Asia.
  • Concentration risk favours opportunities in mid-caps.

Weekly Market Directions: Week of 3-7 February 2025

Tariffs take centre stage

Key takeaways:
  • Trump has started to impose tariffs. His approach is transactional and subject to continuous negotiations.
  • We expect tariffs to be negative for growth and add inflationary pressure starting from the second half of 2025.
  • We believe this will call for further diversification*, expanding the investment universe both in equities and bonds.
