The past year was defined by a global capital market that grew increasingly skeptical of the persistent ‘reach for yield’ and a substantial shift in the ranks for monetary policy. Heading into 2015, speculation over central banks’ next moves (from more ECB stimulus to the first Fed hike) will find even greater prominence. Meanwhile, another 12 months without a 10 – 20 percent correction in speculative benchmarks like the S&P 500 is extremely unlikely. Below, the DailyFX Analysts list their top trades with these scenarios in mind.
