The J.P. Morgan View discusses how US elections have affected asset allocation, economic outlooks, and market risks. They believe that the equity market has priced out a Romney win scenario and that medium-term equities and credit are still overweight despite volatility caused by the fiscal cliff negotiations. The focus is on EM Asia, Cyclical stocks, and US Home builders for overweights in equities. Fixed income should see yields head higher with an emphasis on spread compression trades. They recommend being long the dollar during fiscal cliff negotiations and remaining medium-term overweight both credit and equities against cash, government debt, and commodities, as they do not think an Obama victory changes economic outlooks or risks significantly.

The Saudi National Transformation Plan aims to diversify the economy away from oil but faces challenges in meeting ambitious targets and maintaining macro stability. The USD peg is likely to hold, but energy policy may need to become less aggressive to support FX policies. Large and regular sovereign Eurobond issuance is expected to weigh on regional bond spreads if risk appetite does not hold up or fiscal balance slips. The NTP suggestion that production capacity is maintained until 2020 reinforces the expectation of medium-term oil market tightness, but achieving a gas production target that could displace domestic crude demand and boost export capacity may be challenging.
