In our latest edition of Wealth Matters, Joe Prendergast, Global Strategic Advisor, asks: what to do in a sticky situation?
“Any easing of underlying inflation back to central bank targets may take longer than currently expected by markets. Consequently, central banks are likely to keep interest rates at higher levels for longer. This sticky scenario poses a difficult backdrop for financial markets, as higher than expected inflation and interest rates usually mean poor rewards for risk assets. Investors need to consider this outlook carefully, as it has meaningful impact for strategy” he explains.
