MNI Global Macro Outlook-Feb 2023: Sticking The Landing

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

MNI's February 2023 Global Macro Outlook meeting took a look at the ongoing change in the prevailing narrative from looking for a "soft landing" to "no landing" at all.

  • Consensus in late 2022: slowdown/soft landing by mid-2023 would keep risk assets on the defensive and force central banks to hold off on hikes in H2, leading to cuts as inflation subsided.
  • But market moves on incoming data suggest “no landing” has a higher implied probability vs a couple of months ago.
  • The historical record suggests a "soft landing" outcome is rare. A "no landing" could turn out to be the worst scenario for both risk assets and bonds as it implies sustained underlying inflation pressures and significant further monetary tightening until we get a "harder" landing.
