CoinVoice has learned that Citigroup strategists expect the MSCI Global Index to rise by 10% this year, with returns between regions becoming 'more balanced'.

The team led by Beata Manthey anticipates that the upward trend will only become apparent after Trump takes office later this month. A 10% growth in global corporate earnings per share is expected in 2025; in the U.S., the gap between the 'seven giants' and other stocks is projected to narrow. The rating for global healthcare stocks has been upgraded to overweight; ratings for non-essential consumer goods, utilities, and industrial stocks have been downgraded to underweight. The overweight stance on U.S. stocks is maintained; Europe is recommended as their 'most favored cyclical diversifier' as 'bearish top signs' are beginning to 'show signs of a turning point'.
