“Navigating Macro Murkiness: A Guide to the Markets”
The first half of 2023 has been volatile with several unpleasant surprises, kindling concerns that 2023 will be a repeat of 2022. However, disinflation is setting in, the Fed is near the end of its rate hiking cycle, and growth has been resilient. Although there may be pain ahead for the economy, economic cycles and market cycles do not always tightly align, and historically markets have bottomed before the economy, the labor market, and earnings. With the significant reset in valuations that already took place in both stocks and bonds last year, 2023 could be a year of economic pain, but also one of market recovery with many investments providing attractive long-term opportunities.

Meera is responsible for delivering timely market and economic insights to institutional and retail clients, conducting research on the global economy and capital markets, and running economic forecasts.
