The Equity Duration Puzzle
Christian Mueller-Glissmann, Liz
Goldman Sachs Research advocates for an overweight equity position over the next year, driven by historically high equity risk premiums and the limited return potential of global bonds following the COVID-19 shock. While US growth stocks currently trade at elevated absolute valuations, the firm identifies a strategic shift toward international equities and value sectors to mitigate duration sensitivity and diversify against rising rate volatility. This outlook assumes a continued global economic recovery with contained inflationary pressures, supporting the thesis that equities will outperform bonds over longer horizons despite recent secular stagnation trends.

Projections suggest a divided government may stabilize markets, though the January Georgia runoffs remain a critical variable that could trigger significant volatility or policy shifts. Beyond the immediate political outcome, the discussion highlights a post-pandemic societal bifurcation, predicting an economic rotation toward cyclicals while warning that fiscal mismanagement and extreme partisanship could lead to long-term urban decay in cities like San Francisco.

Joe Biden wins: what next for America?

Joe Biden secured the presidency with a decisive victory, winning the popular vote by approximately 4 million votes while facing a divided government as Republicans retain control of the Senate. Although legal challenges to the results lack traction due to Biden's substantial margins in key swing states, the election exposed significant polling errors and deep national divisions driven by mutual animosity. Looking forward, the incoming administration plans to govern through legislation and executive orders to reverse Trump-era policies, while the Republican Party prepares to shed Donald Trump's personal divisiveness to maintain its populist platform for future elections.
