Cembalest wrote, “Biden has a low approval rating for a President with ~10% job creation since his inauguration, although that figure is the by-product of his inauguration coinciding with the rollout of COVID vaccines and a reopening US economy.”
Cembalest wrote that he usually doesn’t make these predictions, but did so in this year’s report “for one time only” in honor of Market Strategist Bryon Wein, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 90.

Other predictions included by Cembalest on the list of “surprises for 2024” are “the US dollar remains stable,” “the driverless car backlash is coming,” “Argentine dollarization will fail if implemented,” and “Russian invasion of Ukraine drags on with no ceasefire in 2024…
