Investor sentiment has shifted dramatically, with 49% now expecting a hard landing for the global economy within the next 12 months, up from 11% last month. The consensus for a soft landing has dropped to 37%, down from 64% previously. These shifts are attributed to concerns over President Trump’s tariffs impacting inflation and economic growth.

BNP Paribas chief US economist James Egelhof noted that the Fed’s efforts to achieve a soft landing may be derailed by recent strong job reports and inflation hitting a four-year low. Egelhof highlighted the impact of tariffs on changing the economic outlook, potentially pushing the US economy into recession later this year.
