Investors should be reassured
Equity and corporate bond investors in OECD countries should be reassured , because: Inflation is not returning, so interest rates are going to remain low; Thanks to the low interest rates, all groups of economic agents are solvent and no recession trigger is in sight; Growth should therefore remain decent, close to potential growth, paving the way for continued l ow default rates and high corporate profitability. Given this backdrop, equities and corporate bonds in OECD countries are still cheap.
