The document is a summary of top US ideas for Q1, focusing on strategy and equity. The backdrop for risk assets has changed due to global interest rates reaching 5,000-year lows and the historical US Presidential election and Republican sweep of Congress in November 2016. OPEC reached a historic deal to reduce crude production by 1.2mn b/d with non-OPEC producers delivering an additional 600k b/d of cuts that same month, leading to risk assets responding positively. The current strategy stands in stark contrast to last year's focus on defensive growth ideas and is more heavily geared toward companies benefiting from increased fiscal stimulus, a pro-business agenda, and tax-policy reform. There are eight Buys and two Underperforms across six sectors listed, with updates planned at the beginning of each quarter unless coverage is dropped or recommendations change.

The document is a tribute to former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated on November 4, 1995. Mortimer Zuckerman, the author of the piece and editor-in-chief of U.S. News & World Report at the time, reflects on Rabin's bravery and vision in pursuing peace with Palestine, despite the risks involved. Zuckerman argues that Rabin's death did not extinguish the fire of Israel's commitment to peace, but rather inspired a renewed dedication to the cause. He highlights the significance of the support shown by the United States and other nations at Rabin's funeral, as well as the emotional speech delivered by King Hussein of Jordan in which he referred to Rabin and his wife Leah as "my brother" and "my sister." Overall, Zuckerman emphasizes that Rabin's legacy continues to inspire efforts towards peace and understanding between Israel and its neighbors.
