WEEKLY NOTION: Stocks Ready to Rally in 2021 but Outgoing Trump is Risk: Pacific Life Fund Advisors

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stock markets are poised to rally in 2021, bolstered by the predictability of a new U.S. president, fresh stimulus and infrastructure spending, plus a coronavirus vaccine.

But there is a potential wild card: outgoing President Donald Trump, the head of asset allocation at Pacific Life Fund Advisors said on Monday.

Markets have already signaled relief that the U.S. election is over and a winner declared, with former Vice-President Joe Biden taking over the Oval Office in January.

The Dow and Nasdaq reached all-time records last week after Biden began naming cabinet secretaries and three drug companies unveiled promising vaccine results.

Pacific Life Fund Advisors cut its exposure to large-cap tech companies in favor of small-cap value in September, for example, and is now more neutrally positioned to get through the next weeks.

U.S. stocks rallied during Trump's presidency, up more than 60% from his 2016 election to the Nov 3 Election Day. Stocks have continued to rally since then.
