Outsmart: Mastering the New Normal
Staying a step ahead in a changing global landscape requires flexibility, nimbleness, and keen market insight. We bring deep asset class expertise to the pursuit of long-term outperformance, to outsmart the pack no matter how rapidly markets shift.
Market Themes Spotlight
While the pace of inflation is slowing, persistently strong U.S. wage growth and elevated prices in Europe could keep inflation uncomfortably high for some time. Meanwhile, the recent bout of financial instability is leading stock and bond markets to increasingly pricing in a recession. A slowing economy and receding inflation may help the U.S. Federal Reserve to end its tightening for the cycle or at least pause it for a few months.
Against this evolving backdrop, PGIM asset managers share their perspectives on the shifting landscape, provide insights on key trends set to shape the second half of 2023 and beyond, and offer ideas for investors seeking to seize the opportunities ahead.
