BoFA's Michael Hartnett ist lt. zerohedge der genaueste Wall Street Analyst von 2022. Hier seine 'trades' für 2023 und seine Zusammenfassung der Entwicklungen von 2022. Vorsicht, dies gilt für die US-amerikanische Sicht. So liegt Gold in Euro seit Jahresbeginn deutlich im Plus.

Wie lässt sich das für deutsche Investoren übersetzen, einschließlich dem Risiko größerer Verwerfungen wegen der EU-Sanktionspolitik und einer irrationalen, fremdgesteuerten Regierung? US-Treasuries, Gold, Chinaaktien?

And while we have published more detailed reports on this topic before, here are Hartnett's 10 trades for 2023:

1. Long 30-year US Treasury...on recession, unemployment, Fed cuts late'23, history (US Treasury returns have never fallen for 3 consecutive years).
2. Yield curve steepeners...as US yield curve always steepens as recession begins and markets anticipate Fed flipping from hikes to cuts.
3. Short US$, long EM assets...long EM distressed bonds, Korea won on China reopening, Mexican peso on "nearshoring".
4. Long China stocks...COVID reopening was v bullish for US/EAFE stocks, China has high "excess savings" and China stocks remain v contrarian long trade.
5. Long gold & copper...US$ peak, China reopening, metal inventory shortages, energy transition acceleration, need in 2020s for inflation hedges.
6. Barbell credit...long credit too consensus in '23, we barbell long IG tech bonds (>5% yield + strong balance sheets) with distressed HY debt in Asia (17% yield).
7. Long global industrials and small cap stocks...secular leadership shift in 2020s from deflation to inflation assets, driven by globalization to localization, monetary to fiscal excess, inequality to inclusion and so on just beginning; capex set to be new macro bull story (see industrials breaking above -1stdev level relative to S&P 500).
8. Short US tech...the old leadership, still over-owned, era of QE is no longer, era of globalization no longer, plus peak penetration and regulation risks.
9. Short US private equity...the old leadership, redemption risks given shadow banking exposures to housing & credit risks.
10. Long EU banks, short Canada/Aussie/NZ/Sweden banks...EU fiscal stimulus to wean Eurozone off Russian energy dependence, Chinese export dependence, US military dependence vs real estate market busts in Canada/Australia/NZ/Sweden.
