Market development
{{'fund.detail.general.perDate' | labelize:[ fundDate(fund.fundInvestmentExplanations.date,'llll') ]}}In April, the global economy faced stagflationary forces, as activity decelerated while inflation pressures remained. The slowdown in growth was witnessed across all major economies. China's leading indicators now point to outright contraction as lockdowns weigh on growth. The Eurozone continues to feel the impact of the Russia- Ukraine conflict, as it faces higher energy prices. In the US, the closely watched ISM Manufacturing Index fell to 55.4, as supply side issues remain. Inflation remains sticky and is running considerably above levels targeted by central banks. In reaction, financial markets continue to expect additional rate hikes. In April, both the Fed and ECB voiced concerns about inflation and signaled a willingness to hike rates to contain a further broadening of inflationary pressures. Commodities have been on a tear this year, adding 10.9% in April. The MSCI World Index lost 3.3% (unhedged in euro). The bond market rout deepened, with the global government bond index losing another 3.4%. So far, this year is shaping up to be one of the worst years for fixed income markets since the early 1980s.
