A commentary asks whether equity markets would be satisfied with the same economic backdrop that used to be enough. It opens with the question: would stocks accept “what they could have been content with in the past”?
The note highlights a concrete benchmark: until recently, a forecast of U.S. economic growth just above 2% would have been regarded as optimistic — a sign that the economy was being used at full capacity. That characterization underscores how market and macro expectations have shifted.
The piece frames this reassessment of standards as central to understanding current market sentiment and investor tolerance for slower growth. #stocks #USEconomy #GDP #equities #FiatNews
