In this week’s edition of the Bloomberg podcast, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts discuss their outlooks for 2024.

German Equities -- Tim Craighead says a region-leading earnings expansion, cyclical-growth exposure and a relatively low valuation offer a constructive outlook.

Mutual Funds -- David Cohne says they aren't dead yet as ETFs grow, and lays out a few pockets of life.

Diversified Entertainment -- Geetha Ranganathan says the streaming wars may be over, but that the hard part -- profit -- is yet to come.

Mergers & Acquisitions -- Andrew Silverman lays out why he expects deal-making to return after one of the slowest years in decades.

E-Commerce -- Poonam Goyal says sales might improve in 2024 as trends normalize and the shift to online persists.
