Will international stocks do well in 2024?
2024 may be a good time to look for bargains in international stocks that have the long-term potential to deliver higher returns than US stocks. Fidelity's Asset Allocation Research Team (AART) forecasts that international stocks will outperform US stocks over the next 20 years.
On Holding (NYSE: ONON), Roblox (NYSE: RBLX), and Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) are showing strong business growth that could deliver significant upside in the years to come, according to these Motley Fool contributors. But here's why these stocks could take off this year.
Global equity markets are likely to remain challenged in 2024 as the world transitions to a regime of higher trend inflation and interest rates. This transition could generate shifts in earnings growth expectations, triggering volatility. Close attention to risk management will be needed.

Fitch Ratings-London-05 February 2024: Higher growth in emerging markets (EM) relative to developed markets and the prospect of US Federal Reserve rate cuts later this year are expected to push emerging-market net capital flows to a decade high in 2024, says Fitch Ratings in its latest Economics Dashboard.
As a whole, analysts are optimistic about the outlook for stock prices in 2024. The consensus analyst price target for the S&P 500 is 5,090, suggesting roughly 8.5% upside from current levels.

Global growth is set to slow further this year amid tight monetary policy, restrictive financial conditions, and feeble global trade and investment. Downside risks include an escalation of the recent conflict in the Middle East, financial stress, persistent inflation, trade fragmentation, and climate-related disasters.
Growth stocks may see a robust 2024 on the strength of trends such as AI disruption and decarbonization. Small-cap stocks are trading at attractive valuations as analysts see the possibility of a rebound in 2024. The time could be right for locking in rates on long-term, high-yield bonds.

Which sector is bullish in 2024?
Interim Budget 2024: Anil Singhvi bullish on defence sector
He said that defence sector stocks can shine since the government had decided to buy 70 to 80 per cent of defense equipment from India only.
Our forecasts call for the U.S. economy to grow 1.6% in 2024 and 1.7% in 2025. But if the U.S. labor market merely remains as resilient as it has been since late 2020, U.S. growth could be half a percentage point stronger in 2023 and 0.7 point stronger in 2025. The result would be much stronger global growth as well.
Highlights: Nominal median U.S. equity market return of 4.2% to 6.2% during the next decade; 4.8%–5.8% median expected return for U.S. fixed income (as of Sept. 30, 2023). Vanguard's latest U.S. equity market return forecast is a touch below where it was a year ago. (The firm presents its forecasts in a range.)
Our expectation for 9% earnings growth for the S&P 500 in 2024 suggests low-double-digit earnings growth for the S&P 600 small-cap index. This is a substantial improvement from the roughly 10% decline in S&P 600 profits in 2023. Relative valuations are attractive for small-caps.
Key Takeaways. Potential economic obstacles in 2024 could delay the start of a sustained bull market, but investors can still find opportunities. Consider staying cautious on U.S. stocks while shifting to bonds for potential income and capital gains.
Recession risks have come down but still loom in 2024. Forecasters have become so confident of a soft landing for the U.S. economy they're already unbuckling their seat belts.
S&P 500 could hit 6,500 by end-2025, says Capital Economics.

What is the outlook for the global markets in 2023?
2023 Global Market Outlook: From darkness to dawn. We believe declining inflation should allow central banks to eventually pivot to an easing bias. A recession seems likely in 2023, and equity markets may struggle. However, we think that a global economic recovery should be on the horizon by the end of 2023.
Stocks could have a surprisingly strong first half of the year, though the risk of recession may loom in the second half. Watch for opportunities in value stocks and Asia ex-Japan. “Be wary of the human tendency to fight the last war,” the famed investor Barton Biggs once warned.
The risk of a global recession in 2023 appears elevated, as developed market central banks hike aggressively into slowing economic growth. However, markets may be overestimating the risk of a deep downturn.
