Global Insight Monthly - August 2022
I am pleased to share the latest investment strategy report from RBC Wealth Management—Global Insight, which provides our latest thoughts on asset classes, the economy, and timely issues that impact investment strategy. This month’s topics include:
As earnings go, so goes the market
While we think the bulk of market risks are in the rearview mirror, it may take more time to reveal whether the economic and earnings vulnerabilities have been fully incorporated into stock prices.
U.S. recession scorecard update: Trouble with the curve
One of our most reliable indicators of U.S. recession—the yield curve—has flipped to negative and is now strongly suggesting a recession is on the way. Most others on the scorecard remain positive but less decidedly so than was true a few months ago.
Global equity: It’s a question of timing
As we enter a new month, an old question remains—when (and if) a recession will arrive. We believe the answer is in central banks’ hands.
Global fixed income: Flying blind
Many global central banks are now planning to make policy decisions on a meeting-by-meeting basis, which may only further increase volatility as both markets and central banks react to each piece of key incoming economic data.
