BNP Paribas Wealth Management Investment Strategy podcast

In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer and Philippe Gijsels, Chief Investment Advisor at BNP Paribas Fortis Belgium, discuss investment opportunities and unloved stock markets.
 
European mid/small-caps should benefit from a cyclical upturn in manufacturing and the European consumption in the context of lower inflation and lower interest rates.
While European financials have performed strongly, listed REITs are the one financial sector that has lagged. Interesting growth segments are logistics/warehouses, healthcare and hotels
Belgian stocks are often overlooked but there are some quality stocks in the BEL20 index

Dans ce podcast, Edmund Shing et Xavier Timmermans discutent des récents niveaux élevés de cuivre et de leur haut potentiel de valeur.
Le cuivre est crucial dans divers secteurs, notamment l'électronique, le logement, le transport, la défense et la transition énergétique, ce qui en fait un produit essentiel dans l'économie moderne.
L'offre mondiale de cuivre est limitée alors que la demande augmente, ce qui entraîne des déficits persistants entre l'offre et la demande. Ce déséquilibre devrait se poursuivre dans les années à venir.
Le cuivre a bondi de 27 % en 2024, atteignant plus de 10 000 $ la tonne. Les sociétés minières mondiales de cuivre ont également connu une augmentation de 32 %, reflétant la solide performance du marché.
Les problèmes géopolitiques et environnementaux, tels que les difficultés de production au Chili et la fermeture des mines au Panama, ont limité l'offre. De plus, l’interdiction des importations de cuivre en provenance de Russie par les États-Unis et le Royaume-Uni alimente les inquiétudes en matière d’approvisionnement.
Investir dans le cuivre peut se faire directement via des ETF sur les métaux et les actions minières. Les sociétés minières sont favorisées en raison de leur potentiel de dividendes élevés, fournissant des revenus en attendant une amélioration du marché.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing and Xavier Timmermans discuss the recent copper high levels and their high value potential
Copper is crucial in various sectors, including electronics, housing, electrical transmission, defense, and the energy transition, making it a vital commodity in the modern economy.
The global supply of copper is limited while demand is growing, leading to persistent supply/demand deficits. This imbalance is expected to continue in the coming years.
Copper has surged 27% in 2024, reaching over $10,000 per tonne. Global copper miners have also seen a 32% increase, reflecting a strong market performance.
Geopolitical and environmental issues, such as production difficulties in Chile, and the closure of mines in Panama, have constrained supply. Additionally, the banning of copper imports from Russia by the US and UK is fuelling supply concerns.
Investing in copper can be done directly through metals ETFs and mining stocks. Mining companies are favoured due to their potential for high dividends, providing income while waiting for the market to improve.

Dans ce podcast, Guy Ertz, Chief Investment Advisor et Édouard Desbonnets, Senior Investment Strategist chez BNP Paribas Wealth Management, comparent les performances du Cash et des marchés actions : 1990-2020 : la plupart des actions individuelles n’ont pas battu le cash !
Alors que les marchés boursiers ont largement surperformé les obligations et les liquidités
Très peu d’actions très performantes créent cette surperformance boursière à long terme
Ces actions proviennent de nombreux secteurs, notamment la santé, la technologie et les semi-conducteurs et la consommation discrétionnaire.
La plupart des investisseurs ont intérêt à bénéficier d’une exposition largement diversifiée aux fonds d’actions et aux ETF.
