Labor Slump to Bump

Despite signs of recovery in the global economy, scarring is still evident in the pace of the labor market recovery. In the US, last Friday’s jobs report emphasized the supply and demand mismatches that may take longer to resolve before peak employment can be reached. We expect policymakers to remain accommodative until a broader based recovery is underway.

Market Know-How

Faster, Higher, Stronger

Some of the moves in fixed income markets this year— such as the sell-off in Treasuries—have been faster than anything we have seen in recent years, and bond markets may remain in a state of flux for the remainder of 2021. As a consequence, core fixed income allocations require risk-aware active management, and security selection in credit markets may become an increasingly differentiated source of returns.

Monthly Market Pulse: May

We expect prices to rise across countries this year as re-openings and recovery advance, with acceleration likely to be strongest in the US. Investors may need to contend with near-term inflation pressures driven by low base effects and transitory factors, even as longer-term trends remain tamed.

Climate of Change

As we look into 2021 and beyond, we think global policymaking will be less governed by the latest political victory than by the realities of massive sovereign deficits, shifting demographics, and environmental conditions.
