Abstract:“The Goldilocks option is now off the table,” Blackrock, the world’s biggest asset manager, screamed in its midyear outlook, referring to the environmment which for years sustained a thriving bull market in equities and bonds.
As global central banks raise interest rates aggressively to check inflation, markets are increasingly taking the view that a recession is around the corner.
A widely watched segment of the U.S. Treasury yield curve is pushing deeper into inversion territory — a move that is said to flag economic recession — while analysts‘ expectations that corporate earnings will be higher in a year’s time has tumbled to the lowest since late 2015.
Markets are also being hit by the pervasive unease about the economic outlook, with U.S. monthly inflation figures seen at a new 40-year high near 9% in June and China still struggling with COVID outbreaks.
European and U.S. stock futures are down half a percent, after a weak Asian session, while the euro still teeters on the brink of hitting parity versus the dollar for the first time in two decades. In line with the jittery backdrop, government bond prices are extending gains, while commodities, including iron ore and oil are under pressure.
And the policy boom box shows no sign of letting up on hawkish signals. Atlanta Fed president Raphael Bostic said the lack of month-to-month improvement in the pace of price increases warrants another 0.75 percentage-point increase in interest rates this month.
