High inflation and rising interest rates have prompted recession worries, yet a healthy labor market and recent declines in prices at the pump have helped ease fears and lift the stock market recently. This week we take a look at the state of the consumer and the outlook for household spending, which will play a key role in the path ahead for the economy and markets.

Last week we saw both CPI and PPI inflation move lower. However, inflation remains elevated compared to almost any period in history, and we would expect the Federal Reserve to continue to push rates higher in this backdrop. Nonetheless, investors cheered this first step in the right direction, and if inflation continues to moderate consistently, markets could be poised for a more sustained rally towards the back half of this year or early 2023.

Equity markets have staged an impressive rally since the mid-June lows aided by weaker commodity prices, easing inflation expectations, and lower bond yields. With last week's impressive job gains suggesting that the Fed has to stay aggressive in its fight against inflation, further gains might be more difficult to achieve, and markets could be entering a choppy phase in the months ahead. Yet, the worst of the valuation declines might be behind us. We see three potential future paths for the U.S. economy and financial markets and offer our take on the blockbuster July jobs report.

Markets faced a triple-whammy of data this week, between the Fed meeting, GDP data, and big-tech earnings reports. The common message among all seems to be that growth is slowing, but Fed rate hikes may be as well. Read our Weekly Wrap for more!

Inflation and central bank policy were in the driver's seat last week. The stronger than expected rise in consumer prices in June pushed headline inflation to 9.1%, a new 40-year high, suggesting that the Fed has more work to do. In this week's market wrap we offer our take on the latest data and discuss how markets might already be looking past the inflation peak and shifting their focus on growth.

High inflation and shifting economic conditions have prompted worries of a looming recession.

Inflation remains front and center for consumers and policymakers, but financial markets may be looking a step ahead: at a potential economic slowdown or recession looming. While the probability of a recessionary period is rising, perhaps the silver lining here is that in our view we don't yet see the scope for a deep or prolonged downturn ahead.

With just a few days away from the end of June, the halfway mark, markets have experienced one of their worst first six months of a year in recent history. Concerns around inflation, central bank tightening and the impact on these two factors on growth have made for a challenging backdrop. Our latest Weekly Market Wrap provides perspective on how the economy, equity markets and fixed income markets are shaping up at the mid-year point, and what could be in store for the second half of the year.

High inflation has prompted the Federal Reserve to accelerate its pace of rate hikes, increasing the headwinds to the economic outlook. Markets continue to exhibit elevated volatility in response, with the stock market seeing additional pressure last week. Our latest Weekly Market Wrap provides perspective on what's changed for the economy and how investors can position to navigate this volatility.

06/11/2022

This week's CPI inflation reading will be a key driver of markets. While core inflation may be moderating, we are carefully watching headline inflation, which continues to remain hotter due to higher food and energy prices. This will likely keep the Federal Reserve on track for a 50 basis point rate hike at next week's Fed meeting, but we see scope for the Fed to move at a more gradual pace in the back half of the year.
