Global markets keep shrugging off shocks. Here's what could break that streak, according to HSBC
- HSBC reported that global financial markets have remained resilient despite a series of economic shocks in recent years.
- The bank noted that equity and credit markets are operating on the assumption that higher interest rates will not cause material damage to economic growth.
- This trend puts investors at risk if inflation pressures force central banks to tighten rates more aggressively than currently priced.
- The current market stability relies heavily on the continued strength of corporate earnings and economic growth in the U.S.
