Optimistic cycle on the stock market: Financial expert Peter C. Oppenheimer provides insights into safe investment options

According to a report by www.leadersnet.de,

“Overall, we are still in an optimistic cycle,” says stock expert Peter C. Oppenheimer in a recent interview. This cycle, in which prices and valuations rise in the stock market, lasts on average about 22 months. We are currently 13 months into the bullish trend, meaning this cycle is expected to last until next fall.

Regarding possible triggers that could end this cycle, Oppenheimer mentions the current war events in Ukraine and the Middle East. The disruption of trade routes and disrupted supply chains can lead to lower economic growth and thus slow inflation. Despite these factors, Oppenheimer expects an overall positive development of the stock market and forecasts returns of between eight and ten percent.

He recommends that investors broadly diversify their stock portfolio and sees particular potential in the European stock market. Here he particularly highlights “eleven European heavyweights,” which consist of some of the largest companies by market capitalization. In addition to the European market, Oppenheimer also sees long-term positive effects from the use of artificial intelligence, which could trigger a new supercycle on the markets.

Overall, Oppenheimer is optimistic about the stock market's performance, despite potential challenges from geopolitical events and inflation. The recommendation to diversify the portfolio and invest in European heavyweights could therefore prove to be a promising strategy.
