Investment Outlook 2023: Some Light for Investors After the Storm
December 2022 | We predict that 2023 will be a two-speed year, with plenty of risks to watch out for. Bonds are back, market valuations are getting more attractive, and a Fed pivot in the first part of the year could trigger interesting entry points. We expect global growth to slow significantly, with several countries across both developed markets and EM suffering stagnation, while others may face a slowdown at best.
01 | Developed market central banks have hiked rates aggressively in 2022 to tame inflation pressures, but they are unlikely to keep this pace going in 2023.
02 | The energy crisis will be the main economic driver in Europe, which we believe will fall into recession.
03 | The level of the Federal Reserve’s terminal interest rate will be critical; if close to 6%, a US recession will be in the cards and could be more severe than what is expected today.

Relief Rally Unlikely to Continue
For markets, this economic backdrop calls for a confirmation of a correction regime at the end of 2022 and in H1 2023, with inflation slowing, but still above normal levels. The correction phase will likely be driven by the profit recession, which we expect to materialize in H1. We believe a more cautious stance in equities would be prudent. For government bonds, slowing economic growth and hints about the change in the size of rate hikes may call for an active duration stance.

Will 2023 be the First Year with Repeat Negative High Yield Performance?
In every calendar year following a year of negative US high yield returns, high yield bonds posted positive returns. In this paper, we analyze the seven negative years of high yield bond returns to determine the reason for this positive performance – and consider what this could mean for investor portfolios in 2023.

Fed: Staying the Course Until the Job is Done
The most striking takeaway from the Federal Open Market Committee is the near uniformity among FOMC members that the terminal level for rates will exceed 5%. It appears the lower-than-expected October and November Consumer Price Inflation data was not enough to change members' views. Debt ceiling considerations are likely to make the cash balance that the US Treasury holds at the Fed very volatile, leading to reserve volatility. If it leads to money market disruptions, it would be a sign that the supply of reserves in the system is approaching scarcity and could halt the balance sheet run-off.
