Year-to-date, global equities have rallied 11.2%. This week could turn out to be one of the keenest tests for the increasingly prevalent “soft landing” thesis. Economists at UBS analyze how stocks could be impacted.
Stay cautious on stocks amid “soft landing” scrutiny
We do not expect this week’s heavy data and central bank calendar to prove the market’s ‘soft landing’ thesis conclusively. Uncertainty around the economic and market outlook is likely to endure in the second half of the year, with potential for cross-asset volatility to rise on increased data-dependency and shifts in market leadership.
While we cannot rule out further equity gains if US consumer prices undershoot expectations of a 4.1% year-over-year (YoY) headline rate and 5.1% YoY core reading, we believe investors should stay cautiously positioned in equities relative to highly-rated fixed income.
