Pictet urges shift away from US equities

Investors face a shift as Pictet Wealth Management urges a pullback from US equities. The bank cites the dollar’s decline, which erodes the comparative advantage of American stocks. In response, portfolio managers are reallocating capital toward European and other global markets.

Currency weakness has broadened the appeal of non‑US shares, as investors chase higher yields and lower valuation multiples abroad. Pictet’s guidance follows a week of flat US earnings and a 1.5‑point slide in the dollar index, tightening the case for diversification.

Asset allocators should monitor the dollar’s trajectory and earnings momentum in the US. A rebound could reverse the trend, while sustained weakness may accelerate outflows from American funds. Market watchers will track the next Fed meeting for clues on policy direction.

Financial advisers may advise clients to increase exposure to European growth sectors, such as technology and consumer staples, and to emerging markets that benefit from a weaker dollar. The shift underscores the importance of currency hedging and sector rotation in a volatile global environment.
