Executive summary
- With a rising number of economic and sentiment indicators pricing in a significant deceleration in the economic activity, Fed may disappoint investors this year by delivering less hikes that what the market is currently expecting.
- In addition, declining fundamentals leave US risky assets vulnerable for 2022.
- A less ‘hawkish’ Fed stance leaves room for some USD depreciation this year against EM FX and the Euro.
