Annual Strategy : What will 2018 bring to the equity market?

  • Satisfactory performance of the stock market thanks to an advantageous equity arbitrage in a context of persistent low bond yields...;
  • …that should continue in 2018 in the perspective of a lower budgetary pressure and of the foreclosure effect by the Treasury;
  • Encouraging improvement of the economic growth in 2017 driven by a strong recovery of the agricultural activity;
  • A less favorable 2018 outlook confirming the sinusoidal profile of the Moroccan economy;
  • A 2018 Finance Bill with a social appeal promoting private investment, disparities reduction, and budgetary rigor;
  • Adhesion to ECOWAS and transition to the floating exchange rate regime, new catalysts to scrutinize starting 2018;
  • Excellent performance of BMCE Capital Research's stock selection at +17.88% in 2017 (vs. +10.7% for the MASI RB);
  • Suggestion of a new portfolio for 2018 based on a double top-down and stock-picking strategy, with a readjustment of weights favorable to cyclical and defensive stocks.
