Inflation/growth: the big gap on the markets?

With inflation rising at the beginning of the year at a level not seen for more than a quarter of a century, central banks are facing a dilemma and are being forced to raise rates faster than expected. Uncertainty about the impact of rate hikes, compounded by the current geopolitical situation with the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, is causing investors to fear a possible recession. Asset managers are now obliged to adapt their investment strategies in order to be able to offer advantageous solutions that allow investors to protect themselves from inflation or to take advantage of the current environment.

2021 OUTLOOK – recovery from the crisis takes shape as market visibility brightens

Experts at Ostrum Asset Management – an affiliate of Natixis Investment Managers – expect the clouds to lift and risk to potentially ease in 2021 after 2020 was dominated by the Covid-19 crisis. However, challenges still remain, with growth set to vary considerably from one region to another as countries and zones have responded very differently to the crisis. Interest rates look set to edge up slightly, although remain low, and here at Ostrum AM we have reviewed our asset allocation to draw on the equity rally that kicked off at the end of 2020.
