Equity markets have calmed down, but retain a preference for cyclicals as commodities respond favourably to a weakening US dollar.
Bond markets are no longer moving rapidly in either direction, while economists are refreshing their timeline and forecasts for Fed rate hikes in 2022.
ANZ Bank economists are now projecting five Fed rate hikes this year, starting in March.
As US CPI surged to a 40-year high in December, the outlook for Fed rate hikes (and thus US bond yields) hinges on how long consumer price inflation will remain at such high a level.
Clearly, ANZ Bank is now convinced ongoing labour shortages and covid-related supply chain disruptions are likely to stay in place for much longer than previously anticipated.
