Hi, and welcome back to The Macro & Business Insights!
Real Resilience Meets Financial Fragility
(11 Updates)
β βThe market turmoil led to a forceful and apparently successful policy response that now highlights the competing forces of financial fragility vs. resilience of the real economy.β
β βAs a result of the stronger-for-longer macro activity story, core inflation has remained sticky although overall inflation has peaked.β
β βMarkets have stabilized somewhat, volatility has eased, and expectations around future steep policy rate cuts have been pared back.β
β βFinancial conditions need to tighten further, which in turn calls for higher policy rates.β

πΊπΈ UNITED STATES
β βGDP growth forecast is 0.7% for 2023 and 1.4% for 2024.β
β βWith a high degree of uncertainty, the fed funds rate may now peak at 5.00%-5.25% by May 2023, in our view.β
β βThis lower peak stems from the Fed's belief that the recent turbulence will result in tightening credit, curtailing aggregate demand, and slowing inflation, doing some of the work of higher policy rates.β
πͺπΊ EUROPE
β βDespite the Eurozone's solid start to 2023, our baseline scenario remains one of growth stagnation, with an elevated risk of a mild recession down the road.β
β βSticky inflation will force the ECB to raise rates for longer than we previously expected, probably until the deposit facility rate reaches 3.50% by this summer, unless the ongoing market turmoil undermines the current outlook for growth and inflation.β
π¨π³ CHINA
β βWe expect a largely organic recovery in China this year, led by consumption and services; GDP growth forecast of 5.5% exceeds the country's modest target of "around 5%."
β βSpillovers to the rest of the region--and globally--will be modest and limited mainly to tourism and some commodity prices.β
