In late February of 2022, Russian troops poured into Ukraine, initiating a conflict that continues to this day. As the Ukrainians fought back, a cycle of Western sanctions and cuts in Russia’s energy exports to Europe posed multiple questions for policymakers and financial markets.

The final week of 2022 saw EPFR-tracked Bond Funds post consecutive weekly outflows for the first time since mid-October, capping a year when the overall group smashed its previous outflow record as central banks scrambled to contain inflation running at multi-decade highs.

A year ago, the prospect of central bank action to curb inflation and rising Covid-19 caseloads helped to chase over $40 billion out of EPFR-tracked Equity Funds. It was the same story during the week ending December 21, as surging Covid cases in China and fears that the monetary tightening cycles on both sides of the Atlantic have further to run prompted investors to pull nearly $42 billion out of those Equity Funds.

The second week of December ended with the US Federal Reserve raising its key interest rate by another 0.5% basis, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropping 0.6% and EPFR-tracked US Equity Funds recording their biggest daily inflow since mid-March. Any euphoria that the pace of US rate hikes is moderating was, however, largely offset by fears that the peak of the current tightening cycle may still be as much as 100 basis points away.

Respect, for retail investors, is in short supply. For many finance professionals, they are the fools in the market, rushing lemming-like into meme stocks and assets coming off their peaks. Instead of buying on rumor and selling on fact, they are prone to doing the opposite.

The most visible to market participants is a rapidly developing consensus that economic weakness will force the Fed to moderate its policy rate trajectory, undercutting a key element that drove the dollar higher for much of the year. We disagree with that view of the Fed, but that's what makes markets.

November closed with one benchmark US equities index returning to ‘bull’ territory. It also ended with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell remarking in a speech that “it seems to me likely that the ultimate level of [US interest] rates will need to be somewhat higher than thought at the time of the September meeting” but going on to say the pace of hikes to get there could slow as soon as December.

Overall Europe-denominated supply rose by 17% m-o-m in an unusually active November as issuers took advantage of improving sentiment and tightening spreads to lock in late 2022 funding. The EUR116.12bn raised qualified the month as the busiest November ever. In the APAC region, issuance volumes closed out at USD17.48bn in November including a USD1.85bn contribution from Japanese issuers. That comfortably exceeded the paltry USD7.697bn that made it over the line the previous month and also ranks as the second highest volume month since May 2022, only topped by the USD25.345bn of issuance that was placed in the typically active month of September. Ex-SSA US volume for November came in at USD101.88bn, which barely missed the 10yr average November volume of USD102.949bn but surpassed the highest monthly estimate of USD97.5bn. This total also marked only the fifth time in the last decade November volume ex-SSA surpassed USD100bn
