According to Morgan Stanley strategists, the superior performance of high-quality stocks makes the S&P 500 more attractive than overseas stock markets. The team led by Michael Wilson said that the post-COVID-19 inflation era shortened the economic cycle and made policy adjustments more responsive. The team is also optimistic about large-cap high-quality stocks and companies that have implemented AI applications, rather than companies empowered by the underlying AI technology. The report points out that it is “difficult for the semiconductor sector to lead the market again in the short term.” Oil prices are viewed as the main short-term risk in the stock market; energy stocks are also considered the best hedging tool.
