JPMorgan’s quant chief shares 5 trade recommendations following Pfizer’s vaccine ‘game-changer’

Pfizer's vaccine progress "is a game-changer" that will sustain a broad market rotation through the end of the year, Marko Kolanovic, a top quantitative strategist at JPMorgan, said Thursday. Here are the five trading strategies Kolanovic recommended for the broad rotation: 1) Increase allocation to equities; 2) Increase exposure to International ex-US equities ("overweight" ratings on Korean, Brazilian, and Russian stocks); 3) Shifting to cyclical stocks (out of "momentum" stocks); 4) Boost commodities (energy, metals, and agricultural products), dump cash, US Govies and Gold; 5) Favor Junk bonds over Investment Grade bonds (source: Markets Insider)

Bitcoin surge widens Crypto’s lead over Gold as Top Asset of 2020

Bitcoin’s surge during U.S. election week has pulled cryptocurrency performance further ahead of major asset classes this year. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index of digital currencies, including Bitcoin, is up about 120% in 2020, exceeding gold’s near 30% jump. The crypto index has rallied some 11% during a three-day streak since election day, a period when the dollar fell to a 2018 low. Crypto believers say an escalating pandemic and sliding greenback amid ever looser monetary policy will spur more gains as investors seek stores of value. Source: Bloomberg
