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

US Homebuilding -- Drew Reading says the market will continue to grapple with historically low affordability.

US Airlines -- George Ferguson say airfares are starting to sag and may hurt profits as higher expenses -- notably labor -- temper results.

North America Electric Utilities -- Nikki Hsu says record spending and cost controls could fuel broad-based earnings growth.

Global Gaming -- Kevin Tsao says it could be another year of weakening consumer sentiment as players stick with the franchises they know well.

Mortgage-Backed Securities -- Erica Adelberg says they could get a boost from a shift to less restrictive Fed monetary policy if the economy slows and interest rates rally.
