Some disconnects
Here is a collection of cross-asset macro charts that matters now. Markets have mostly priced a rates shock, not recession risk, drawdowns remain limited, and earnings expectations continue higher. Some other charts are telling slightly different stories.
Still small drawdown

Longer-dated US inflation expectations have declined
Much in contrast to 2022, longer-dated inflation expectations (5y5y breakeven inflation) declined, with 5y5y real yields increasing. This upward pressure in yields helps explain a large part of the equity drawdown – as it has been driven by a supply-side shock without better growth, the impact on both equities and bonds has been negative.
