	En la última encuesta a gestores de fondos realizada por Bank of America Merrill Lynch,  el mercado de valores alemán se sitúa como el preferido entre los inversores profesionales en Europa para el próximo año, seguido por el sueco y el español (este último ha bajado al tercer puesto desde el segundo de la encuesta de diciembre). El menos atractivo es la bolsa francesa, seguida por la italiana y la del Reino Unido. Coincide esta historia con otra: el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) eleva hasta niveles de 2007 la previsión de PIB para España para este año, pero rebaja la de Alemania, Francia e Italia. En 2016, no hay cambios para España y sí nuevos recortes para el resto de grandes países europeos. Según el FMI, España crecerá en 2015 un 2%, esto es, tres décimas más de lo calculado en octubre, en lo que supone la sexta revisión consecutiva de las cifras de PIB nacionales y el mejor registro desde 2007, cuando la aceleración fue del 3,5%. El dato supera al 1,7% que ven la OCDE y Bruselas, pero coincide con el esperado por el Gobierno, que no descarta incluso que se rebase ese techo, como ya auguran los analistas de Santander y CatalunyaCaixa (2,3%), los de Intermoney (2,2%) o el propio panel de expertos de Funcas, que avanza un 2,1%.</p>

<p>
	Global investors have put some of their cash to work in spite of a more downbeat assessment of global growth and corporate profits, according to the BofA Merrill Lynch Fund Manager Survey for January. Investors have regained a muted risk appetite, turning to U.S. equities, bonds and real estate. The proportion of respondents overweight cash has tumbled to a net 17 percent from a net 28 percent last month. Average cash positions have fallen to 4.5 percent of portfolios, the lowest in six months, down from 5.0 percent in December.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	More than two-thirds of investors say equities will outperform other major asset classes in 2015. Accordingly, a net 51 percent of asset allocators are overweight equities, down one percentage point since last month but the third-highest reading in the past year. A net 24 percent of asset allocators are overweight U.S. equities, up from a net 16 percent a month ago. However, a net 75 percent say U.S. equities are overvalued – the highest reading since the question first appeared in 2001. The proportion of asset allocators overweight real estate has climbed six percentage points to a net 9 percent. Investors also reduced net underweight positions in bonds.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Investors are less optimistic about the economy. A net 51 percent of the panel believes the world economy will improve this year, down from a net 60 percent in December. But, as deflation surfaces in the Eurozone, expectations of stimulus from the European Central Bank (ECB) are high. This month, 72 percent predict QE to start in the first quarter. Furthermore, the third quarter is now the most likely timing for a rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve, verses the second quarter a month ago.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	“Lower oil prices and hopes for policy stimulus are sustaining both global growth expectations and investor confidence,” said Michael Hartnett, chief investment strategist at BofA Merrill Lynch Global Research. “Amid expectations of ECB stimulus, consensus is convinced that Europe is the region to overweight in the coming year. But, on an absolute basis, European stocks will be vulnerable to headwinds from outside the region,” said Manish Kabra, European equity and quantitative strategist.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Equity allocations defy weaker corporate outlook</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Allocations towards equities remain strong despite concerns about the prospects for profits and margins. A net 8 percent of global investors expect corporate operating margins to fall in the coming 12 months, up from a net 1 percent in December. The proportion of the panel expecting corporate profits to improve has fallen to a net 38 percent from a net 46 percent.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Only a small minority believes that a double-digit rise in profits is possible in the coming year. A net 53 percent now says that it is unlikely profits will improve 10 percent or more, up from a net 32 percent in December. On a regional basis, a net 41 percent of the panel says that profit outlooks are the most favorable in the U.S., with a net 20 percent backing Japan.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Oil and Energy – undervalued yet underweight</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Investors see value in oil and in energy stocks – but it seems too soon for them to have made a move. A net 45 percent of respondents say that oil is undervalued, up from a net 36 percent in December and at the highest level in exactly six years. At the same time, a net 30 percent of the panel says that energy stocks are the most undervalued – up from a net 21 percent.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Allocators to energy and commodities remain weak. The proportion of investors underweight energy stocks has increased in the past month to a net 25 percent from a net 22 percent. Asset allocators have modestly increased allocations to commodities but a net 24 percent remains underweight.</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	Emerging markets fall further out of favor</p>
<p>
	 </p>
<p>
	With questions hanging over China’s economy, bearishness towards Global Emerging Market equities has intensified. A net 13 percent of asset allocators are underweight the region compared with a net 1 percent being overweight in December. Furthermore, a net 17 percent of investors say that emerging markets is the region they most want to underweight in the coming year. A net 41 percent of respondents to the regional survey say that they expect weaker growth in China in the coming year.</p>
