The July 1st news from Jinshi Data, Morgan Stanley strategists said that stock market investors entering the US election season should continue to select stocks and maintain a preference for high-quality US stocks, as the market is considering a scenario in which the Republican Party wins after last week’s debate. Strategists led by Michael Wilson said that investors should focus on high-quality stocks, which typically have more stable earnings, stronger balance sheets, and higher gross profit margins, while staying away from small-cap cyclical stocks. ‘The downside risk of growth in the scenario of a Republican victory is partly due to immigration reform and tariffs,’ they wrote. Considering that inflation and fiscal sustainability have also become concerns, this dynamic ‘may be unfavorable for low-quality cyclical sectors and small-cap stocks in this scenario.’
