Most Asia-Pacific markets rallied last week following the U.S. Federal Reserve’s decision to hold rates and its roadmap for rate cuts in 2024 and 2025. The Bank of Japan will meet for the last time this year. A note from Dutch bank ING said it expects the BOJ to maintain all its major policy settings, “though the overall tone about future policy at the press conference and statement could start to soften.“ Source: CNBC HISTORY SAYS THE NASDAQ WILL SURGE IN 2024 There’s no doubt that 2022 will go down in history as one of the toughest years on record for Wall Street, but markets appear to have turned the corner. After tumbling more than 35% in 2022, the Nasdaq Composite has rebounded with a vengeance, gaining 39% thus far in 2023 (as of market close on Tuesday). Investors who are students of history will know the surge will likely continue. As far back as 1972 -- the first full year of trading for the Nasdaq -- in the year following a market rebound, the tech-heavy index has generated gains of 19% on average, which suggests the current rebound will likely continue.
