Market Outlook

🔮 Market Outlook & Risk Factors

🟢 Base Case (60%)

Soft landing scenario persists. Fed maintains data-dependency posture. Corporate earnings hold steady with modest upside surprises. Equity risk premium remains supported at current yield levels.

🟡 Upside Scenario (20%)

Stronger-than-expected GDP + earnings beats → broad-based rally. AI-driven productivity gains boost margin expansion. Fed rate cuts accelerate → multiple expansion across growth sectors.

🔴 Downside Risk (20%)

Stagflation resurgence, credit tightening, or geopolitical shock → risk-off rotation. VIX spike above 30 would signal elevated defensive posturing. Watch credit spreads and high-yield bond flows.
