However, stock market trends always have ups and downs with crest coming after trough, as depicted in the graph above. Understanding the principles behind will allow investors to objectively deploy capital. Looking to the coming Year of the Rabbit, as global commodity prices and inflation start to ease, alongside the easing of covid restrictions in China, Hong Kong and global stock markets could emerge from the trough, and get ready for a “Bunny Jump” rebound!What is the view from AllianzGI, our fund partner?Prepare for the potential equity market turnaround: in the short term, we are approaching the point when bad news for the economy could become good news for equity markets as weakening economic activity will start to lean on inflation. This could bring a slower pace of rate increases – and eventually a peak in rates in 2023 – accompanied by recession.Amid volatility in 2023, investors could consider anchoring portfolios with low-volatility multi-factor strategies that offer a possible bedrock of stability on which to build. Second, explore quality value and growth opportunities as well as income. Finally, consider high-conviction thematics around key pillars such as national security (eg, food, energy, water, cyber security), climate resilience and innovation (eg, AI) and sustainability.Source: Allianz Global Investors
