September 2021 Monthly Outlook - Conundrum
While the equity market continues to grind higher in spite of headwinds like the Delta Covid variant, the bond market appears to be pricing in an economic slowdown of some magnitude. Persistently low interest rates and tight credit spreads (the interest rate difference between US Treasuries and corporate bonds), in the face of robust GDP growth and higher inflation readings, have economists and financial market analysts scratching their heads. I’m in that group.
With the recent surge in covid cases, kids returning to school, and ongoing pandemic-related challenges, the fall could make for some volatile economic and financial activity.
