Guy Beit Or, the chief economist of Psagot Investment House, notes in his weekly review that the recent declines in the markets were against the background of “lack of liquidity and expected significant decline in corporate profitability. The issue of liquidity has accompanied us for several months. High inflation is expected to lead to significant monetary tightening. , The energy crisis, the war in Ukraine, or the closures in China. Both consumers and the stock markets. In simple terms, banks and governments have increased the demand side in an unprecedented way during 2020, and together with the impact on the supply side (as mentioned) – there can be only one result and that is Inflation that we have not seen for decades. “
He said, “What is happening in 2022 is central banks trying to take back the effect of the wealth they have fueled in the markets and the real economy since the start of the corona crisis. In the US, by the way, they cut interest rates four times in 2019. Fed and the other central banks have no choice – when there is such inflation, and worrying inflationary dynamics it is no longer possible to put a floor on the markets, but must address the root of the problem that brought inflation to these levels. It is important to understand what is at stake here – a lack of control over inflation sends a big message of uncertainty to investors in both markets and the real economy. At such a level of uncertainty, the allocation of resources in the economy becomes inefficient. “

These days, we are entering a different stage in the economic cycle.”
