Meanwhile, given our relatively downbeat view of the global economy, we also expect most “risky” assets to see renewed declines, as risk premia climb and disappointing growth in corporate earnings undermines global equities. We think, though, that the outlook for most safe and risky assets is brighter in 2023 and 2024.
