We are entering a new market regime unlike any in the past half century: We see another year of positive equity returns coupled with a down year for bonds. But BlackRock have dialed back our risk-taking given the wide range of potential outcomes in 2022.
The global investment manager--BlackRock published 2022 Global Outlook 'Thriving in a new market regime' and offered three investment themes and suggestion.
BlackRock favors Chinese assets in 2022 outlook. Meanwhile, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Bridgewater, Fedility, Vanguard and other Wallstreet insitutions bullish on China.
01 Living with inflation
We expect inflation to be persistent and settle above pre-Covid levels. We expect central banks to kick off rate hikes but remain more tolerant of price pressures, keeping real interest rates historically low and supportive of risk assets.
Implication: prefer equities over fixed income and remain overweight inflation- linked bonds.
02 Cutting through confusion
A unique mix of events – the restart, new virus strains, supply-driven inflation and new central bank frameworks – could cause markets and policymakers to misread inflation. We keep the big picture in mind but acknowledge risks – to the upside and downside - around our core view.
Implication: trim risk amid an unusually wide range of outcomes.
03 Navigating net zero
The journey for the world to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 is happening now, and is part of the inflation story. We believe a smooth transition is the least inflationary outcome, yet even this still amounts to a supply shock playing out over decades.
Implication: favor developed market (DM) equities over emerging markets (EM).
Meanwhile,Blackrock said they see a significant shift in China's overall policy stance toward greater state intervention and social objectives, even at the occasional expense of growth. The regulatory clampdown and tighter policy stance that rattled global investors in 2021 made that shift clear.
Yet we believe the low starting point of global investor allocations to Chinese assets is at odds with the economy's growing heft in the world. We estimate current allocations in global portfolios point to an overly negative economic outlook in coming years- such as a long-lasting growth shock akin to Japan in the 1990s.
We maintain our long-term overweight to Chinese assets relative to low global allocations. We assume greater regulation over a strategic horizon as China balances social and economic mobjectives – one reason we bake in materially higher uncertainty and risk premia for China compared with DM markets.
We recognize the risks, yet see current valuations as offering eligible investors adequate compensation for them.

Stocks seen wavering amid investors' risk-off mood
Stocks look set to start the week under pressure with investors looking to U.S. inflation data amid the Federal Reserve's hawkish tilt, and the impact of omicron as risk aversion grips financial markets.
Asian futures pointed to benchmarks opening lower. Australia fluctuated at the open, while U.S. futures edged up. U.S. stocks extended a weekly slide Friday after a mixed U.S. jobs report fanned volatility.
Shock to crypto daredevils joins list of scary omens in markets
A hawkish turn from the Federal Reserve and the omicron variant have erased more than 10% off the market value of cryptocurrencies. The cryptocurrency lost as much as 21% since Friday's stock-market close and swung wildly throughout the weekend. The decline brought it down to around $42,290 at one point, well below its record high of near $69,000 just a few weeks ago.
Big drops in an asset like Bitcoin have the potential to lower confidence among the larger population of bettors, a concept described as negative wealth effect.
High-flying tech stocks are bordering on correction territory
The stock-market drubbing is hitting the once-favored technology giants hard.
The so-called NYSE FANG+ Index tracking the tech industry's giants brushed up against a correction on Friday -- with a drop of 9.99% from its closing peak on Nov. 4. That leaves it just shy of the 10% tumble that would mark a full-fledged correction in the eyes of traders.
Hedge funds suffer big losses on biotech rout
Biotech stocks have fallen to earth with a thud in 2021 after soaring last year amid excitement over the development of Covid-19 vaccines, dealing big losses to some hedge funds. The sector is being buffeted by concerns Congress will move to put a lid on drug pricing and a surfeit of early-stage biotech shares as the IPO market booms.
The SPDR S&P Biotech ETF, an equal-weighted index of biotech stocks, has fallen about 22% so far this year through Friday, and is down 37% from its Feb. 8 peak. The ETF has tumbled nearly 9% since Thanksgiving. Biotech is the worst-performing of all 11 S&P 500 sectors this year, a time when the broader index has notched a total gain of nearly 21%.
Charlie Munger says he wishes cryptocurrencies had 'never been invented'
Billionaire investor Charlie Munger still isn't a fan of cryptocurrency.
"I wish they'd never been invented," Munger said at the Sohn conference in Sydney on Friday, according to The Australian Financial Review. "Of course," he said. "I don't welcome a currency that's so useful to kidnappers and extortionists and so forth, nor do I like just shuffling out of your extra billions of billions of dollars to somebody who just invented a new financial product out of thin air."
Buy now pay later boom shows no signs of slowing this holiday season
7% of shoppers said they will be using buy now, pay later as a payment method for holiday purchases this year, according to a CNBC/Momentive Small Business Survey. The credit card alternative has exploded in popularity as online shopping has boomed during the pandemic and more retailers and payment providers have adopted it.
The use of BNPL globally during Cyber Week — from Nov. 23 to Monday — jumped 29% year over year, according to Salesforce data.
Elon Musk being allowed to "make the rules" in space, ESA chief warns
Josef Aschbacher, the new director-general of ESA, said that Europe's readiness to help the rapid expansion of Musk's Starlink satellite internet service risked hindering the region's own companies from realising the potential of commercial space.
He said Musk's Starlink was already so big that it was difficult for regulators or rivals to catch up. "You have one person owning half of the active satellites in the world. That's quite amazing. De facto, he is making the rules, the rest of the world including Europe.
Apple's iPhone successor comes into focus
$Apple(AAPL.US)$ is raising the stakes with what analysts say are plans for a headset or smart glasses that will offer access to a layer of information, objects and data spread across our view of the real world like so much digital pixie dust—a so-called augmented reality, or AR. While the company hasn't disclosed its plans, analysts and other industry insiders expect Apple's first AR device could be announced by the end of 2022.
