2014 Headwinds No Match for Blue Chips as Dow Tops 18,000

Rise of USD is likely to accelerate in 2015 and 2016 as well. On the other hand currencies such as AUD, CAD and NZD will depreciate against USD and emerging currencies in 2015 and 2016. US stock market and other developed markets may have strong pullback or correction in 2015. There will be volatility in both stock and commodity market. Best places to park money in 2015 are less appreciated markets, assets, emerging sectors, currencies, assets, commodity and stocks. Consumer staples, emerging commodity stocks, currencies and selected consumer discretionary stocks should outperform the market in 2015 and 2016. China and India is likely to drive the Asian region to particularly strong growth. Selected Asian frontier and emerging markets are poised to outperform in 2015. Their currencies also should stay strong especially against commodity currencies such as NZD, AUD and CAD.

Have a great Christmas and Happy New year 2015!
