J.P. Morgan has an optimistic outlook on Asian stocks, with South Korea and India positioned to perform particularly well going into 2020.
Year end, however, we're looking at 700," J.P. Morgan's head of Asia ex-Japan equity research, James Sullivan, said Monday.
Still, J.P. Morgan said its 2020 year-end target for the index — which tracks large and mid-cap stocks across Asian markets, including China, Korea, and India — is roughly 8% above current levels.
But stocks in Asia could benefit as global tech demand recovers and companies resume investments.
Korean and Indian equities, in particular, could benefit from these trends and "surprise" investors, Sullivan said.
