Once again, there has been a quick inclination to sell into strength as the reality hits home that inflation, weaker growth, and central bank rate hikes are not just a U.S. problem. They are effectively a global problem (well, not rate hikes in Japan or China, but just about everywhere else).
The stark reality of a hawkish central bank pivot has been perpetuated by the Fed's largest rate hike (75 bps) yesterday in 28 years, a surprise 50-basis point rate hike by the Swiss National Bank today, a 50-basis point rate hike by Brazil's central bank, and the Bank of England (BOE) following course with a 25-basis point rate hike this morning.
Coupled with the rate hikes -- and partly because of them -- are forecasts for weaker growth and building anxiousness about a potential economic and profit recession. Relatedly, the BOE thinks Q2 GDP will fall by 0.3% as a whole, and the Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model is expecting Q2 real GDP to be flat versus a prior forecast of 0.9% growth.
There is a stagflation buzz in the air and it isn't good. Sovereign bond yields are rising again today and most global equity markets are/were lower.
The 2-yr note yield is up 11 bps to 3.38%. The 10-yr note yield is up seven bps to 3.47%. WTI crude futures are down 1.9% to $113.17/bbl while natural gas futures are up 5.2% to $7.81/mmbtu.
