2022 Mid-Year Market Outlook
Most investors conduct mid-year market and portfolio reviews to evaluate the progress of their portfolios. Some go a step further and rebalance their portfolio with respect to market positions. Unfortunately, the markets in the first half of 2022 were incredibly turbulent such that most people feel like a mid-year portfolio checkup is a little more daunting than in other years. Stocks and bonds are down, and cryptocurrencies weren’t spared either. And while economic turmoil may have peaked in the first half of the year, there is something you can do to cushion yourself for the remainder of the year. First, have a diversified and well-balanced portfolio with a risk profile consistent with your long-term goals. Second, be prepared with a plan in the event of an unexpected outcome such as a recession. The third, and maybe most important one of all, is to seek expert help and manage your emotions when investing.
Is a Recession Unavoidable, or We’re Already in One?
Are we in a recession or headed for one in the coming months? A lot of calls from investment professionals seem to suggest that we’re already in one. And two data points seem to support this argument that we might be close to, if not already, in a recession.
The first is that the Fed has historically had 13 rate hike cycles, and there have been 10 recessions in that same period. So, almost 80% of the time, when they’re hiking rates, there’s going to be a recession. The second one is that according to a recent paper by Domash and Summers, historically, since 1955, when inflation is over 5%, there is a 60% chance of a recession in the next two years. And if unemployment drops below 4%, the probability of a recession is about 70%. We’ve got both of those going on right now. This is why most financial experts believe the likelihood of a recession is a matter of when not if.
