(Bloomberg) –The rout in tech, biotechnology and emerging markets stocks may be nearly over and it’s time for investors to start adding to beaten-down, high-beta positions, according to JPMorgan Chase & Co. strategist Marko Kolanovic.
- “While the commodity supercycle will persist,” the strategist writes, “the correction in bubble sectors is now likely finished, and geopolitical risk will likely start abating in a few weeks’ time (while a comprehensive resolution may take a few months).”
- He sees “great opportunities in high beta, beaten down segments that now include innovation, tech, biotech, emerging markets,” where the risk of a global recession is priced in though that’s something Kolanovic has been saying won’t happen
- The Nasdaq 100 Index closed in a bear market on Monday, though the tech-heavy benchmark has bounced back since the first of several anticipated rate hikes, the index is now down ~16% from its November record
