- It will help to ensure that Norwegian shares can get good returns

(Obi.no:) It was a heavy termination on the Oslo stock Exchange in the last year. The start, however, has been positive, with an increase of the main index of over four per cent.

- Both for the Oslo stock Exchange and global stocks in general, was the drop from October and the year unusually large in a historical context, unless we face an imminent recession in the united STATES/the euro zone. After børsfallene have the pricing of the shares fell clear, and a number of investors are asking now the question is whether the pricing justifies the increased exposure to equities, " comments senior economist Halfdan Grangård in Handelsbanken Capital Markets to the Obi.no.

He believes the recovery we have seen on the Oslo stock Exchange for the last ten days reflect largely increased risk appetite among global investors, at the same time as the increase in oil prices has contributed to the Norwegian shares have gone any better than global.

- In the short term, I believe that it essentially is global risk appetite, which will be crucial for the way forward. Key drivers here will be the macroeconomic key performance indicators, ongoing talks between China and the united STATES (trade ed. anm.) and signals from the Fed. Vekstforventningene has pulled down global the last time, since the key figures have disappointed in many places. At the same time, it is our opinion that the stock markets have gone well far in to praise the upcoming negative news, " says Grangård.

Obesity in Norwegian shares

Economists in Handelsbanken Capital Markets generally has a positive expectation to the Oslo stock Exchange when we look three to six months forward in time, and has chosen to have excess weight in the Norwegian stocks in their portfolios.

At the same time we have a good faith belief that growth in the Norwegian economy may be strong and stay even better up there than many other places. Finally, we have waited for a stronger dollar than the levels we saw towards the end of 2018. It strengthened also the case for Norwegian shares in a global equity portfolio will have, " says Grangård, which continues to monitor in particular the global konjunktursituasjonen.

Signs that vekstnedgangen is more dramatic than we now envision, will change our expectations for returns from both global and Norwegian stocks significantly, end seniorøkonomen.
