Royal Bank of Scotland has a similar view as reported by FT:
“The Royal Bank of Scotland has advised
clients to brace for a full-fledged crash in global stock and credit
markets over the next three months as inflation paralyses the major
central banks.
“A very nasty period is soon to be upon us - be prepared,” said Bob Janjuah, the bank’s credit strategist.
A report by the bank’s research team
warns that the S&P 500 index of Wall Street equities is likely to
fall by more than 300 points to around 1050 by September as “all the
chickens come home to roost” from the excesses of the global boom, with
contagion spreading across Europe and emerging markets.
“The Fed is in panic mode. The massive
credibility chasms down which the Fed and maybe even the ECB will
plummet when they fail to hike rates in the face of higher inflation
will combine to give us a big sell-off in risky assets,” he said.”
Happy 4th....
