CIO Strategy Bulletin ꟾ Oct 25th, 2024 By Citi Wealth Insights
Ahead of the US election – which might mean substantial changes in US policies ahead – we’ve updated global economic forecasts to provide a new baseline. Our world GDP estimates edge up. We continue to expect new record highs in US corporate profits next year and keep our global equity allocation 4.5% overweight this month (global fixed income and cash remain 4.5% underweight). For now, our overweight positions are generally concentrated in US assets in both equities and bonds.

Sustainable Investing Spotlight
Rising global food insecurity has come under the spotlight following a series of geopolitical shocks, including the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Food security concerns have also been compounded by the effects of a shifting climate and increasing evidence of damage caused by accelerating biodiversity loss and water scarcity. Amid concerns about immediate and long-term food security, agriculture policies are caught in the crossfire between short-term food security and sustainability.
Middle East Strategy ꟾ Oct 2024
Oil: Remains sensitive to geopolitical developments, yet despite ongoing tensions, prices remain below this year’s average. We believe the possibility of a serious supply disruption is limited and would instead draw focus to the longer-term decline in demand for oil.
