It’s possible that global economic growth will stabilize while inflationary pressure remains absent and the top central banks stay on hold for the next 24 months. But that scenario is being overpriced by the markets, according to Morgan Stanley.

At the same time, investors are too dismissive of the “tails,” in which global growth rebounds more strongly amid China’s stimulus, or the first quarter’s notable earnings weakness had a bigger market impact, according to strategists led by Andrew Sheets.
