  • Asset management must focus on private credit and income-generating investments.

  • The decision of the Fed to pause interest rate hikes led to market volatility.

  • The Fed expects three market scenarios. The first is raising interest rates to 5.6% by year end. The second is economic indicators reflecting a soft landing. The third is rising bond yields that might indicate a hard landing. The Fed does not know which scenario will occur. Investors must remain flexible to deal with whatever scenario that might arise.

  • Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank, continued tightening to control inflation.
