"DoubleLine highlights strong U.S. economic growth and resilient consumer spending alongside rising long-end Treasury yields in Q4 2024. While central banks began policy normalization, macroeconomic divergence across the U.S., Europe, China, and Japan presents a dynamic investment backdrop heading into 2025."
DoubleLine Capital observes that 2024 replayed 2023 with risk assets outperforming consensus expectations despite elevated interest rates and persistent inflation. Resilient U.S. economic growth, near 3.0% GDP, strong consumer spending, and a robust services sector offset traditional contractionary indicators. While the Federal Reserve initiated rate cuts with a 50 basis point reduction in September followed by a 25 basis point cut in December, long-end Treasury yields moved higher as economic optimism gained momentum following the U.S. presidential election. Equity markets achieved record highs while fixed income posted modest returns due to rising intermediate and long-term yields. Internationally, European growth showed signs of losing momentum despite ECB rate reductions, China's economic recovery continued to be dragged down by real estate weakness despite announced stimulus, and the Bank of Japan maintained ultra-low policy rates. Heading into 2025, investors face complex macroeconomic dynamics including shifting monetary policies, growing fiscal deficits, and potential pro-growth policy implementations.
