Be patient in commodities; we think that index-level returns will be back-loaded. Global equities strong growth, strong returns: Across regions, we see +25-30%
8、 EPS growth and double-digit total returns through end-2021. We are O/W cyclicals and U/W defensives across regions, and expect US small-caps to outperform large-caps. We think that EM/APxJ equities will lag DM slightly, but upgrade India to O/W. We see the S top currencies include INR, IDR, RUB, ZA
9、R and BRL. Corporate credit early-cycle crossroads: Across all regions, we favor HY over IG and posi- tion for compression themes across the ratings buckets, and favor leveraged loans over HY bonds. We forecast above-average excess returns across major cash indices. Securitized credit dont change th
10、e channel: With the Fed on hold until late 2023 and a continued V-shaped recovery, investors should follow the portfolio balance channel. We rec- ommend investors go down in quality and up in risk across the securitized space; we expect higher-yielding, lower-rated sectors to outperform less risky a

Commodities macro versus fundamentals: Stronger growth, higher inflation and a weaker dollar are offset by bottom-up fundamentals that remain soft in most markets. Supply/demand dynamics are supportive in copper and natural gas, and more negative in oil and
12、 iron ore. 2021 may be a turning point for gold, and we revise our price forecast lower. For individual investors, our market outlook should be seen in the con- text of a long investment horizon that is underpinned by a compre- hensive financial plan.

We are strong believers that markets care more about rate of change than level and, following a recession, these cyclical tailwinds are powerful. We forecast 6.4%Y global real GDP growth next year, 25-
15、30% earnings growth across major mar- kets and significant declines in corporate leverage. Yes, this is partly because these are coming off weak levels, but we think that the effect will be powerful all the same.

Post-recession, early-cycle environments also frequently benefit from favorable technicals. And again, we think that this applies today. Uncertainty over public health and the poli

The recent jump in sentiment is a little concerning, but ultimately we think that the other techncials win out. Exhibit 6: Technicals remain largely favorable 68% 89% 27%

Debate #2: The virus and a K-shaped recovery A second concern with echoes of 2010 is whether the recovery is sus- tainable. Following the GFC, worries centered on high levels of con- sumer and corpora
23、te debt, weakness in the labor market and whether the financial crisis had shifted behavior permanently. Today, worries center on a highly unequal recovery, high levels of government debt, weakness in the labor market and whether the pandemic has shifted behavior permanently. Similar to 2010, we thi
24、nk that our economic forecasts see these chal- lenges as serious, but surmountable. Fiscal and monetary stimulus have been larger than what followed the GFC, and so far the recovery has been faster. A successful vaccine will be important, but Morgan Stanleys biotechnology team is optimistic, especia
25、lly with recent announcements. Rising COVID-19 cases suggest some slowing in 4Q20 and 1Q21, and could drive tactical weakness. But through the end of next year, our key economic call is that the global recovery will be sustainable. Use near-term weakness to raise strategic exposures. Allocations and
26、 key trades Our strategic allocations are based on the combination of cycle-ad- justed risk premiums and Morgan Stanley strategists 12-month fore- casts. Both suggest above-average risk-adjusted returns for equities and credit over the next 12 months. Conversely, we see yields rising and underperfor
27、ming the forwards, and expect US duration to underper- form first. We recommend that investors hold modest overweights in global equities and credit, and modest underweights in cash and gov- ernment bonds ( Exhibit 47 ). In currencies, we see modest USD weak- ness. We think that commodity prices ris
28、e, but our forecasts see this strength as back-loaded, and with high dispersion given an uneven supply/demand dynamic. For now, we prefer to allocate exposure towards equities and credit. Equities: Improving earnings growth should offset modest de-rating across markets, a usual handoff for equities
29、following a recession. We prefer DM over EM and our sector and style preferences remain skewed to early-cycle, cyclical exposure. We like US small-caps over large-caps, India, and Australia over Taiwan. Government bonds: Given how much dovishness is in the price, we think that US and EU yields can r
30、ise modestly and underperform the forwards as the economy improves. Long US 5s30s steepeners and sell UST 30y versus Bunds and ACGBs 30y. FX: Early-cycle recovery and hope for a vaccine should see USD weaken modestly by 3% in 2021. EMFX and commodity currencies will likely see the biggest uplift. Lo

38、 From late-cycle to early-cycle in 12 months.via a pandemic: Looking back at what we wrote in our 2020 global equity outlook last November highlights just how much the investment landscape has changed over the intervening 12 months. Last year our concerns about a late-cycle economic backdrop, elevat
39、ed valuations and heightened investor optimism translated into materially below-con- sensus EPS expectations and subdued single-digit prospective returns. While we never predicted the subsequent pandemic, its con- sequences leave us in a very different place today. We believe that we have now transi
40、tioned to an early-cycle environment, which implies strong profit growth that we believe is not yet priced in to markets despite the sharp rally in the last two weeks ( Exhibit 14 ). 25-30% global EPS growth likely in 2021: Whenever economies move out of recession, there is always concern about the
41、speed and strength of recovery, but the degree of uncertainty here is arguably higher than normal, given the combination of an unprecedented pan- demic against record monetary and fiscal stimulus. Although the ongoing increase in COVID-19 cases in Europe and the US may lead to some near-term weaknes
42、s in economic activity, this is very unlikely to derail a strong profit rebound over the next 12 months, in our opinion. Instead, strong nominal GDP growth next year implies a size- able acceleration in revenue growth, which should be turbocharged by impressive operating leverage. As illustrated in
43、Exhibit 15 , our top-down EPS growth forecasts for all regions are 25-30% for next year, with further double-digit growth expected in 2022 too. Together, these estimates imply MSCI ACWI EPS growth of 27% for 2021, which would represent the second-best out-turn in 30 years (after 2010). Exhibit 14: W

The unique cause of the 2020 recession has meant that policy-makers have been given unprecedented latitude to respond without meaningful pushback, whether
49、that is record peacetime fiscal deficits or large-scale quantita- tive easing (G3 central banks have expanded their balance sheets by c.US$7 trillion year-to-date). While this has proved critical in sup- porting asset markets through this year, what may also prove unique is its persistence into the recovery, with our economists expecting fur- ther fiscal and monetary stimulus during 2021.
