Digest Analysis

Quick Take

"Q1 2024 delivered strong US market performance with S&P 500 breaking 5,000 and AI driving technology leadership. Economic strength shifted Fed expectations from six rate cuts to less than two, while inflation remains sticky around 3%."

Executive Summary

The first quarter of 2024 delivered strong performance with the S&P 500 achieving its second consecutive 10%+ quarter and breaking through 5,000. US markets led globally, now representing 64% of global equity markets. AI remained a dominant theme with Nvidia surging 82% year-to-date to over $2 trillion market cap, while other Magnificent 7 names showed mixed results. Economic strength surprised with robust jobs data and GDP growth, shifting the narrative from soft landing to no landing scenario. Federal Reserve expectations evolved significantly, with rate cut projections falling from six to less than two cuts in 2024 as inflation proved sticky around 3%. The 10-year Treasury yield rose over 30 basis points. Geopolitical tensions from Middle East and Russia/Ukraine conflicts provided headwinds. Looking ahead, strong economic fundamentals support expectations of 2-3% real GDP growth and 6%+ S&P earnings growth, though political uncertainty from the presidential election may create volatility.
