How investors prepare for possible turbulence in December and why the tide could turn again in January.

According to a report by www.boerse-online.de,
Investors may have to wrap up warm again this month because, according to a top expert at Morgan Stanley, things could get uncomfortable again. Michael Wilson, Chief U.S. Equity Strategist & Chief Investment Officer at Morgan Stanley, is cautious about rally predictions and bull markets and urges caution after the recent November rally. He predicts short-term volatility in both interest rates and stocks in December. The good news, however, is that things could look up again in January as more constructive seasonal trends and the so-called "January effect" would support stocks next month.

The potential impact of this forecast could lead to increased near-term volatility in stock markets as investors may respond to Wilson's warning by taking profits or acting more cautiously. This could lead to short-term price declines before markets potentially recover in January. Further developments in the Fed's interest rate policy will also play a role, as hopes of rate cuts have played a significant role in the recent rally. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell's statement that interest rate cuts are not expected in the first half of 2024 could also influence markets.

Overall, Michael Wilson's forecast could lead to near-term uncertainty in markets, but the prospect of a positive development in January could help investors remain optimistic in the long term and hold on in anticipation of a possible recovery.
