## Prediction

Over the next 30 days, persistent energy chokepoint risks, new US tariffs, and tightening tech regulation will materially raise perceived global recession risk, prompting a rotation of capital into US Treasuries, gold, and defensive equities. Higher shipping and input costs will squeeze corporate margins, while tighter financial conditions in emerging markets facing weaker trade and stronger dollar funding pressures will amplify downside growth scenarios. Central banks may delay further tightening but will be reluctant to ease amid inflationary supply shocks, keeping real-economy pain elevated. Confirmation would be flattening or inverting yield curves, downgrades of global growth forecasts, and widening EM spreads; denial would involve quick easing of trade and maritime tensions or coordinated macro support from major economies.

## Drivers

- US tariffs on 60 partners risk global demand destruction
- Maritime disruptions in Hormuz, Red Sea, and Black Sea raising logistics costs
- Regulatory pressure on big tech affecting high-growth market leaders
