"Stock Market Outlook: Aging Population Boosts Boomer Stocks, Millennials Take a Hit"

Deutsche Bank argues that the aging population in America is actually good news for the stock market.

As life expectancy rises, individuals will need higher returns on their investments, favoring stocks over bonds. Data shows that older age groups in the US own a significant portion of corporate equities and mutual funds, and the country is well-positioned for growth due to its middle-class population and attractiveness to investors from richer emerging markets. The US stock market has performed well this year, and its valuation is higher compared to developed and emerging markets.
