Dans ce podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, et Jeremy Fasquelle discutent de notre stratégie d'investissement pour janvier 2026.2025 a été une excellente année pour les investissements liés aux matières premières. En effet, les métaux précieux ont généré d'attractifs rendements au cours de l'année, tandis que les métaux industriels stratégiques, tels que le cuivre, ont également enregistré des gains records.  Cette dynamique des matières premières s'est poursuivie en 2026, même si les prix mondiaux du pétrole ont baissé en raison de l'augmentation de la production de l'OPEP +. Avec l'or en hausse de 60 % + et l'argent en hausse de 130 % + en 2025, y a-t-il encore un potentiel pour 2026 ?Les investisseurs devraient-ils continuer à acheter une exposition au cuivre physique et aux producteurs de cuivre ?Quels autres métaux industriels offrent un bon potentiel d'investissement cette année ?La rotation du leadership des valeurs de croissance technologique vers les valeurs de valeur est-elle durable au cours des prochains mois ?Quels autres segments boursiers bénéficient de cette rotation hors de la technologie des grandes capitalisations ?Hosted on Ausha.

Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, and Charlotte de Kerpoisson discuss our investment strategy for January 2026. 2025 was an excellent year for commodity-related investments. Indeed, precious metals generated huge returns over the year, while strategic industrial metals, such as copper, also posted record gains.  This momentum in raw materials has continued into 2026, even though global oil prices have been sliding on the back of increased OPEC+ production.With gold up 60%+ and silver up 130%+ in 2025, is there any potential left for 2026?Should investors continue to buy exposure to physical copper, and to copper producers?What other industrial metals offer good investment potential this year?Is the rotation in leadership away from technology-growth stocks towards Value stocks sustainable over the next few months?What other stock-market segments are benefitting from this rotation out of large-cap technology?Hosted on Ausha.

Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer of BNP Paribas Wealth Management unveils his convictions for December 20251. Government stimulus to support growth: the US should focus on tax cuts and deregulation efforts ahead of the November 2026 mid-term elections. Europe will spend on infrastructure and defence, while China and Japan will also add targeted measures to support domestic consumption and the property market. 2. Moderating inflation to allow lower US rates: steady US inflation and low/falling inflation in Europe and Asia should allow for lower interest rates in the US and emerging markets. Long-term yields should remain around current levels, with IG credit potentially benefiting from tighter credit spreads. Favour Euro IG credit including financials, EM sovereign bonds in local currency 3. Ongoing bull market in stocks. Ample liquidity, lower rates, earnings growth, deregulation and buoyant buybacks support global stock markets. Prefer World ex-US (Japan, emerging markets), health care, Euro banks and mining sectors. 4. Precious and strategic metals: long-term positive on precious metals given expected weaker US dollar, lower rates and persistent geopolitical volatility. Copper to benefit from strong global AI/electrification demand with supply limited. Favour exposure to physical copper, global mining stocks. 5. Six investment themes for 2026: i) Ride the bull but guard the gains; ii) Escape shrinking cash returns; iii) Beyond algorithms, the new AI frontiers; iv) Welcome to the new age of scarcity; v) Investing when policy rules markets; vi) Opportunity Rising: the allure of Asia.Hosted on Ausha.

Dans ce podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, dévoile sa stratégie d'investissement pour décembre 2025.1. Stimulus gouvernemental pour soutenir la croissance. Les États-Unis devraient privilégier des baisses d’impôts et des mesures de déréglementation avant les élections de mi-mandat de novembre 2026. L’Europe investira dans les infrastructures et la défense, tandis que la Chine et le Japon mettront en place des mesures ciblées pour soutenir la consommation domestique et le marché immobilier. 2. Inflation modérée permettant une baisse des taux américains. Une inflation stable aux États-Unis et en baisse en Europe et en Asie devrait ouvrir la voie à des taux d’intérêt plus bas aux États-Unis et sur les marchés émergents. Les rendements à long terme devraient rester proches des niveaux actuels, avec un potentiel resserrement des spreads pour le crédit IG. Préférence pour le crédit IG en euros, y compris le secteur financier, ainsi que pour les obligations souveraines émergentes en devise locale. 3. Marché haussier durable sur les actions. Une liquidité abondante, des taux plus bas, la croissance des bénéfices, la déréglementation et des rachats d’actions dynamiques soutiennent les marchés actions mondiaux. Préférence pour les actions Monde hors États-Unis (Japon, marchés émergents), la santé, les banques européennes et le secteur minier. 4. Métaux précieux et stratégiques. Perspectives positives à long terme pour les métaux précieux, soutenues par un dollar américain plus faible, des taux plus bas et une volatilité géopolitique persistante. Le cuivre devrait bénéficier d’une forte demande mondiale liée à l’IA et à l’électrification, dans un contexte d’offre limitée. Préférence pour une exposition au cuivre physique et aux valeurs minières mondiales. 5. Six thèmes d’investissement pour 2026 i) Surfez la vague haussière, ancrez vos bénéfices; ii) La fin du cash-roi : privilégiez le rendement; iii) Au-delà des algorithmes : les nouvelles frontières de l’IA; iv) Fin de l’abondance : repenser l’investissement à l’heure de la rareté; v) Entre investissements politiques et politiques d’investissement : le nouveau paradigme vi) Cap sur l’Asie, terre  d’opportunités.Hosted on Ausha.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing (Global Chief Investment Officer) dicusses how investors' over-optimism has begun to cool, leading to a shift toward others sectors.Following the strong momentum led by technology stocks in the US and in Asia, concerns rose over the elevated valuations that tech stocks had reached.Over the last week, a mini correction was seen, sending among others bitcoin down by 29% and tech giant Oracle by 34% from its September highs. This setback of global and US stocks should not worry investors as the Nasdaq 100 index has merely returned to the level it had reached in early October.However, while more speculative names and the tech sector stumble, other sectors are taking over leadership of the global stock market. Pharmaceutical & biotech sectors are lately outperforming the Nasdaq Index. Another more surprising outperforming industry in November is Oil & Gas.We maintain our positive 12-month view on global stocks and would suggest that now is a good time to look at sectors and stocks displaying relative strength outside of technology.Hosted on Ausha.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing unveils his strategy for November 2025.Liquidity-fuelled stock bull market trend intact: as the current bull market enters year four, positive macro liquidity trends and lower interest rates support further upside despite a recent spike in volatility. Positive on stocks, we prefer exposure to Japan and UK.US interest rate expectations fall on weaker labour markets and lower energy prices: with a limited pass-through of US tariffs to the final consumer to date and clearly weaker labour market conditions, the Federal Reserve will continue to lower rates. Stock markets are supported by a lower 10-year Treasury bond yield, now at 4%.Precious metals enter a corrective phase: after an impressive performance over the last year, gold and silver prices have corrected from all-time highs. Albeit perfectly normal in precious metal bull markets, we nevertheless turn tactically Neutral on gold and silver and await better re-entry points in the near future. Keep an eye on private credit market concerns: while current credit issues are centred on two US auto part suppliers and certain US regional banks, we watch for financial stress spreading more widely e.g. to the high yield credit market. So far, transmission of these US private credit issues elsewhere remains limited. Our preferred investment ideas today: in stocks, we favour European listed infrastructure (including Utilities), global Health Care and Chinese A-shares. In higher-yielding bonds, we like emerging market sovereign bonds (local currency). In Alternatives, look to adding strategic base metals exposure e.g. copper and aluminium.Hosted on Ausha.

Dans ce podcast, Edmund Shing dévoile sa startégie d'investissement pour le mois de novembre 2025.Marchés actions : la tendance haussière dopée par la liquidité se poursuit. Alors que le marché haussier entame sa quatrième année, les conditions de liquidité favorables et la baisse des taux d’intérêt continuent de soutenir les actions, malgré un regain de volatilité. Nous sommes Positifs sur les actions et nous privilégions une exposition aux marchés japonais et britannique.Les anticipations de taux d’intérêt aux États-Unis reculent en raison de l’affaiblissement du marché du travail et de la baisse des prix de l’énergie. Compte tenu des conditions clairement plus faibles sur l’emploi et de la répercussion limitée des droits de douane sur le consommateur, la Fed peut continuer sa stratégie accommodante. Le rendement des Treasuries à 10 ans est passé sous les 4 %, offrant un soutien supplémentaire aux actions.Les métaux précieux entrent dans une phase de correction. Après une année exceptionnelle, l’or et l’argent corrigent depuis leurs plus hauts. Ce mouvement, classique dans un marché haussier, nous conduit à adopter une opinion tactique Neutre et à attendre de meilleurs points d’entrée à court terme.Préoccupations autour du crédit privé : les tensions actuelles se concentrent sur deux équipementiers automobiles et certaines banques régionales américaines. Pour l’heure, la contagion vers le marché du High Yield reste limitée, mais le risque mérite une surveillance attentive.Nos convictions d’investissement : pour les actions, nous privilégions les infrastructures cotées en Europe (y compris les services publics), le secteur mondial de la santé ainsi que les actions A chinoises. Pour les obligations à rendement élevé, nous apprécions les obligations souveraines des marchés émergents libellées en devise locale. Pour les investissements alternatifs, nous recommandons d’ajouter une exposition stratégique aux métaux de base, tels que le cuivre et l’aluminium.Hosted on Ausha.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing (Global Chief Investment Officer) and Hiba Mouallem (Investment Strategist) talk about how investors can diversify away from US tech stocks. Investors would be mistaken in thinking that the Magnificent 7 have been “the only game in town” as far as US stock investing goes. We highlight three US stock themes which have outperformed the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices over 2025, but which are not dominated by the tech sector. These themes are: i) The US industrial renaissance, ii) US smart grid infrastructure, and iii) the US metals & mining sector.The reindustrialisation of the US economy is a key political objective of President Trump, reinforced by his import tariff policy and aided by a weaker US dollar and lower US interest rates. The RBA US industrial renaissance index tracking this theme has returned 31% in the year to end-October. The substantial growth in US electricity demand from new data centres has led the Nasdaq Clean Edge Smart Grid Infrastructure index to deliver a 35% 10-month return. Finally, renewed interest in precious and strategic metals has propelled the S&P Metals & Mining index to a 74% gain in 2025.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, and Hiba Mouallem discuss the strategic importance, supply challenges, and investment opportunities surrounding rare earth metals.Critical Role: Rare earth metals (17 elements) are essential for technologies like semiconductors, defence systems, and renewable energy (e.g., wind turbines).China’s Dominance: China controls 90% of global refining capacity due to decades of heavy investment, creating a major supply bottleneck.Geopolitical Tensions: Rising demand from AI, defence, and green energy, combined with China’s export restrictions, has intensified US-China trade tensions and driven prices higher.US Response: The US is investing billions in domestic production and guaranteeing minimum prices to reduce reliance on China and stabilise supply.Investment Outlook: Rare earth metals present a medium-term investment opportunity, best accessed through diversified funds or ETFs covering global producers and refiners.Hosted on Ausha.

In this podcast, Edmund Shing, Global Chief Investment Officer, explores the renewed momentum behind solar energy in 2025, following a multi-year decline in ESG and clean energy investments.The S&P Global Clean Energy index enjoyed a 300% rally between January 2019 and January 2021 on the back of euphoria surrounding renewable energy investment. However, renewable energy funds then suffered a painful bear market from 2021 until early 2025, impacted by the sharp increase in the cost of debt funding and then a US shift away from clean energy with the November 2024 re-election of Donald Trump.Since April, we have seen a recovery take place in renewable energies and particularly in solar power, with the S&P Global Clean Energy Index rising 50%. Lower interest rates combined with strong growth in electricity demand from AI-dedicated data centres and from electrical vehicles have led to a resurgence in demand for low-cost sources of energy. Today, solar energy represents a key source of low-carbon electricity in the EU. Thematic ETFs and funds are an effective way to invest in renewable energy generally, or in solar energy specifically.Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.
