L’année 2024 promet son lot de risques électoraux, géopolitiques et économiques, mais le plus important est celui d’un retard à l’allumage des banquiers centraux dans leurs baisses de taux. Ceci pourrait nous faire passer d’un « soft landing » à une récession sévère. A court terme, nous nous laissons porter par la complaisance du marché avec une allocation tactique sectorielle « bottom fishing » ciblant en priorité les secteurs cycliques et sensibles aux taux. A moyen terme, nous priv...
