Horizonte Q2
Reading time:30 MIN
Key messages of the capital market outlook
- Reality check: Hopes for a strong economic recovery must now be backed up by real growth. For markets to remain stable, this growth should neither be too weak nor too strong.
- Inflation worries: Inflation, bond yields and central bank reaction will dominate markets into the summer. Real interest rates are likely to rise further.
- Slowing pace: If markets fear that central banks will take their foot off the gas, investors will do so, too. We remain constructive in the medium term but expect further volatility into the summer.
