The US economy's resilience is attributed to supply-side factors, while the eurozone is expected to implement sharper interest rate cuts, maintaining a "sound money" era. Despite strong fundamentals, US equity valuations raise concerns of potential overvaluation, contrasting with more attractive valuations in international markets.

Investors are advised to focus on long-term, diversified strategies rather than short-term trends.
