Preparing For August
“Earnings growth expectations have been reduced dramatically since the start of the year. Higher commodity prices will lead to weaker consumer demand and lower economic growth.
As a result, we believe the global earnings growth for stocks in 2022 will be less than five percent, or approximately half of the current market expectation. With increasing geopolitical tensions and recession risk the market will struggle in returning positive returns to investors.“
