Deep dives

Policy Dependency and Market Resilience

Policymakers are currently focused on data rather than forecasts, which means market participants should not expect immediate interventions to stabilize the economy. There's a growing expectation that a policy rescue will not materialize until significant deterioration occurs in the underlying economic environment. This message is often challenging to communicate, as many investors have become accustomed to timely rescues in times of uncertainty. Educating clients about this evolving sentiment can help manage their expectations regarding market movements and potential support from policymakers.
