Reading time:30 MIN
Key messages of the capital market outlook:
- High uncertainty:The war brings more inflation, less growth and high uncertainty – the economic damper is yet to come. The risk of stagflation increases. But central banks are less restrictive in the short term.
- Solid starting point: The economy and profits surprised positively and the coming burdens are likely to pass. Equity markets have corrected, valuations and positioning are lower, pessimism dominates.
- Chances of recovery: Market recovery likely with some easing of uncertainty, inflation and volatility. However, balanced positioning is still advisable.
