Please see below an article published by Invesco on Tuesday (15/02) and received yesterday afternoon, which covers their views on inflationary pressures and geopolitics and how these are impacting on markets:
As you can see from the above, inflationary pressures globally are having a big impact on markets and the Fed’s outlook and proposed rate hikes by Q2 2022 have also impacted on investor sentiment. Supply chain issues also remain an issue and this could potentially be further exposed by events in Russia and possible sanctions that could be imposed.
The good news is that Covid cases are declining, and global economies are starting to transition back to a form of normality. It also appears that inflation expectations may have peaked, watch this space!
