This piece is approved to use with clients.
The stabilisation of US economic growth amid unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus has raised questions about the likelihood of inflation returning. Jim Cielinski, Global Head of Fixed Income, and Andrew Mulliner, Global Bonds Portfolio Manager, both members of the Fixed Income ISG, explain why they do not see significant risks of sustained higher inflation materialising in the next few years, though caution that short-term spikes are possible and investors should evaluate the diversity that their fixed income portfolios provide.

Weekly Market Compass: We present a base case, an upside case, and a downside case for our 2021 global market outlook
This piece is approved to use with clients.
Every year at this time, we issue our global market outlook for the coming year. That exercise is especially complex at this moment — the shape of economic growth in 2021 is dependent on a wide variety of factors, including infection rates, fiscal policy, monetary policy, public health policy (including the severity — or “stringency” — of lockdowns), progress toward the development of COVID-19 therapies and vaccines, and consumer and business confidence.

While legal challenges are underway, the Associated Press on Saturday called Pennsylvania for Joe Biden, which would push him past the 270 Electoral Count threshold. While this process may feel like an eternity, Biden’s timing from a market perspective may be impeccable. Don’t get us wrong.

Weekly Market Compass: The US has survived contested elections and unrest before
This piece is approved to use with clients.
Well, last week was in fact a Pepto Bismol kind of week, just as I had expected. No fiscal stimulus in the US, COVID-19 cases on the rise in Europe and the US, and growing concerns about the US presidential election.

Behavioural Advisor: Does the Election Matter?
The presidential election has generated especially strong emotions this go-around. Both sides fear the other candidate will win and many believe that as a result the economy will go into a death spiral. This fear is driving many investors out of the market, waiting on the sidelines for the outcome. A look at past elections and market returns suggests they’ll be missing out.
