Investing.com -- Oppenheimer Asset Management is advising investors to maintain focus on long-term opportunities amid market volatility, suggesting the year ahead will present compelling chances to capitalize on overlooked assets.
Oppenheimer strategists led by John Stoltzfus argue that such periods of market downdrafts create opportunities for investors. “We suggest investors look for ‘babies that get thrown out with the bathwater’ when market downdrafts occur in the markets,” the note emphasizes. Nevertheless, Oppenheimer commends the central bank for its efforts to balance inflation control with employment stability, describing its actions as critical in achieving a “relatively soft landing after some significant periods of turbulence in the economy and the markets.”
Overall, while geopolitical risks, domestic policy shifts, and the global economic recovery remain potential headwinds, Oppenheimer’s outlook suggests that the resilience of the U.S. economy, driven by strong consumer demand and innovation, will continue to support equity performance.
