As the markets launch into 2023 with an upward moment, Wall Street firm JPMorgan has released a bullish outlook for the year, concluding that a soft landing could be the most likely outcome.[0]<\/a><\/sup> This is a stark improvement from October 2022, when the firm said a recession was almost a done deal.<\/p>\n

JPMorgan\u2019s trading model shows that seven of nine asset classes ranging from high-grade bonds to European stocks now show less than a 50% chance of a recession.[1]<\/a><\/sup> This marks a significant improvement from October when a contraction was effectively seen as a done deal across markets.<\/p>\n

According to the firm\u2019s strategists, the positive developments that helped create a narrative that the worse is behind us and a recession \u201csomehow magically\u201d happened last year include China\u2019s reopening from Covid-19 lockdowns, a weaker dollar, and moderating inflation.<\/p>\n

This is in line with the increased betting on a gentle landing that triggered an upsurge in the beginning of the new year.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The likelihood of a recession is over 50% for base metals, aside from the S&P 500.[4]<\/a><\/sup> JPMorgan strategist Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou said that \u201cmost asset classes have been steadily pricing out recession risks helped by China reopening, the collapse of gas prices in Europe and larger than expected inflation downshifting in the US.\u201d[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

However, his colleague Marko Kolanovic said investors are underpricing the potential pressure on stocks stemming from the growth slowdown in the months ahead.[3]<\/a><\/sup> He warned that bears can find fresh ammo in weaker factory output and retail sales as well as a bond rally, while Federal Reserve officials warned rates would remain in restrictive territory.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
