Invesco: Remains optimistic about non-US markets this year and expects the US dollar to weaken.

Glonghui, April 13｜Benjamin Jones, Global Head of Research at Invesco, stated that given the situation in the Middle East, it is expected that risk assets will come under pressure again at the beginning of this week, and oil prices may also rise. However, the overall market situation still has a high chance of gradually improving before the end of April. The performance over the past week shows that overly defensive positioning may not benefit investment portfolios, while risk assets still have the potential to rebound when stimulated by positive news. Therefore, Invesco believes that the appropriate strategy is to remain prudent while continuing to participate in the market, rather than sticking too rigidly to a single viewpoint. Looking ahead for the rest of this year, the firm remains more optimistic about markets outside the United States and expects the US dollar to weaken, although the process may not be entirely smooth.
