MARKET | |
Despite early signs of inflation cooling, market sentiment weakened, with risk assets generally selling off in December. Much of the sell-off can be attributed to hawkish central bank rhetoric, the Bank of Japan's change in yield control limits, and a resurgence in COVID cases in China. Equities decreased over the month while global government bond yields rose. | |
In the U.S., the month began with economic prints that continued to illustrate a robust economy and left investors fearing persistently high inflation. The Nonfarm Payroll report showed that the U.S. economy added 263,000 jobs in November; additionally, the report showed sharp revisions upward of October's figures. This print left the market questioning if the Federal Reserve (Fed) would slow rate hikes anytime soon. Soon after, the Producers Purchasing Index printed higher than expected at 7.40% (estimated: 7.20%). | |
Despite this, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report surprised to the downside for the second month in a row, which briefly increased market resiliency mid-month as markets hoped "peak inflation" was behind us. Soon after the CPI report was released, the Fed raised interest rates by 0.50% as expected, downshifting from four consecutive 0.75% hikes. | |
However, the optimism brought on by lower-than-expected CPI and the downshift in rate hikes were quickly quelled by hawkish comments made by Jerome Powell and other officials following the rate announcement. The S&P 500 lost 5.90% in December while 10-year U.S. Treasury yields closed the month up by 0.27%. |
OUTLOOK | |
While the probability of some extreme risk events has arguably lessened recently, we believe 2023 will be a challenging balancing act for policymakers and the global economy. We see the global economy entering a phase of slower growth and still elevated inflation with risks biased to the downside for growth and to the upside for inflation. Central to our expectations is the questions of how rapidly inflation is going to slow and at what level inflation will settle. As we enter 2023, the direction of travel of inflation is expected to be lower, as some aspects of inflation normalize (energy and food-related). However, stickier parts of inflation are still posing a threat to a timely return of inflation toward central banks’ targets. | |
We expect policy rate increases to slow going forward but see a need for monetary policy settings to stay in restrictive territory for potentially a longer period of time than is currently priced in. As major central banks maintain their focus on returning inflation to target and guarding inflation expectations against becoming unanchored, we see risks biased toward an overtightening of monetary conditions, the magnitude of which will influence the depth and length of the upcoming slowdown. |
