August 24, Fineko/abc.az. Morgan Stanley Chief Investment Strategist Michael Wilson and his team recommended prioritizing high-quality, large-cap stocks with strong balance sheets in their latest analytical note.

The experts suggested that investors focus on companies integrating and applying artificial intelligence into their business processes rather than those developing the technology.

The strategists noted that semiconductor stocks are unlikely to regain their leadership in price momentum in the near term, as market capital rotates toward more disciplined companies.

Addressing global risk factors, the Morgan Stanley team highlighted potential volatility and surges in oil prices as the primary near-term risk for equity markets. Analysts emphasized that energy sector stocks offer the best hedge against such fluctuations and inflationary pressures.
