FASTEST RATE HIKE SINCE 1980s 👇
✔ “Stubbornly high inflation has prompted the Fed’s fastest rate hike campaign since the 1980s.”
✔ “Markets are no longer pricing in repeated Fed rate cuts, a sign they’re grasping inflation’s persistence, in our view. And the full effect of central banks’ rate hikes is kicking in.”
WHY INFLATION REMAIN SO HIGH? 👇
✔ “Inflation and wage growth remain sticky, even with this deteriorating growth picture. Why?
✔ “U.S. consumer spending’s shift back to services from goods caused core inflation to fall at first.”
✔ “Yet labor constraints persist, with unemployment still near historic lows. We think tight labor markets are keeping wage gains high, making overall inflation stubborn.”
✔ “Inflation is running even hotter in Europe, especially the UK. Central banks face a clear trade-off, in our view: crush activity to ease labor constraints and curb inflation – or live with some above-target inflation.”
AVOID AN EVENTUAL DEEP RECESSION 🚨
✔ “We see the Fed nearing a pause in rate hikes and living with some inflation to avoid the deep recession needed to get inflation near its target.”
✔ “But we don’t see the Fed coming to the rescue of a faltering economy with rate cuts later this year due to the sharp trade-off between inflation and growth.”
✔ “Markets are coming around to our long-held view after having until recently priced in repeated rate cuts in 2023.”
✔ “We think the ECB will hike more, regardless of the economic damage. The BOE is in a similar position.”
✔ “Markets have priced in as many as four more BOE hikes. We think that might be a bit overdone, as it would be equivalent to the Fed hiking to around 7-7.5% – enough to trigger a severe recession.”
