Episode 13:

We are inevitably part of a global community with many moving parts filled with growing tensions & uncertainty coupled with worsening global outlook. Some permanent output losses are expected in many economies.

Are we headed for more global economic challenges & , if so, which industries are most affected?

We are in a global community with all nations interrelated so when a major contributor to the global economy has economic restrictions it impacts the world economy significantly. Global growth has slowed & US and China (2 top GDP to WO) have large impacts. Thus, China’s economic restrictions will most likely contribute even further to global slowdown.

How are China’s economic restrictions impacting the world economy?

Inflation remains obstinately high & has become more widespread. Consumer prices began rising significantly late last year in 2021 & have continued in 2022 at an uncomfortable, alarming pace exceeding central banks targets in not only the US but most of the largest global economies.

Could we expect a pivot in 2023?

Earnings are under pressure. As rates rise, we experience not only rises in costs of debt & capital for businesses, but future valuations are also diminished, & growth is further slowed adding to compressed margins.

What are the best sectors to watch during and after a recession?

Is stagflation imminent?
