Outlook 2014
Recoupling
Growth stampede and savings glut
Long cycles coming to an end
Just when economists and investors have become used to changes in growth patterns, the harbingers of a new era are on their way
What has changed?
Recoupling
Chart 1: Recoupling – shrinking growth differential
![Page 7: julius bär investment opportunities outlook 2014](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020207/55566763d8b42a144c8b4cd4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
More balanced, but watch out for currency crises
Especially for those econ-omies with extreme current account imbalances, curren-cy crises are on the cards in 2014
What happened to inflation fears? Chart 2: External imbalances in selected emerging and advanced economies
Chart 3: Global output gap*
![Page 8: julius bär investment opportunities outlook 2014](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020207/55566763d8b42a144c8b4cd4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chart 4: Equity risk premium – in favour of equities vs. bonds
Chart 5: Global equities – no bargain, but not expensive either
Outlook 2014
Solid growth, tame inflation: Good for stocks?
After all the years of owning bonds and gold as a preferred asset mix, the pain trade in 2014 may yet again be buying shares
Going against the grain
Where are the opportunities?
![Page 9: julius bär investment opportunities outlook 2014](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020207/55566763d8b42a144c8b4cd4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Economics
Global recovery is becoming more synchronised
Convergence on the map
Disinflation allows lavish monetary policy to continue
Chart 1: Surging cyclical synchronicity indicator*
Chart 2: Deflation index** still positive for the USA and Europe

![Page 13: julius bär investment opportunities outlook 2014](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020207/55566763d8b42a144c8b4cd4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Risk:
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future re-sults. Performance forecasts are not a reliable indicator of future performance. The Julius Baer fixed-income ratings apply exclusive-ly to bonds of the specific issuer ranked senior unsecured or higher. They are therefore not valid for debentures junior to the men-tioned ranking unless mentioned explicitly.
