Schroders Economics Group. 4 May 2018. 18 Strong growth to continue to support risk assets Key questions As the global economy moves from goldilocks to expansion, higher interest rates will challenge further gains in risk assets Strong growth can support earnings further, but as bond yields rise further, equity valuations will put prices under pressure The fiscal stimulus package in the US could be very powerful for growth Europe has lost some momentum recently, but temporary factors are probably to blame Brexit details have to be finalised by the Autumn, expect more volatility The UK economy will continue to struggle, but will this stop the BoE? Concerns over trade wars are likely to persist, and may dampen confidence and growth If trade wars escalate, many third parties will be impacted Emerging markets look healthy, but a strong US dollar could hurt risk assets Source: Schroders Economics Group. 19 Thank you Disclaimer Marketing material for professional investors and advisers only.
