Arnab Das, Global Market Strategist-EMEA, Invesco, says the global economy is predicted to become more fragmented with varying cycles, prompting capital reallocation from the US to Europe and Asia. This shift will occur gradually, necessitating a holistic portfolio review across geographies, sectors, and asset classes. While retaliation from China is underway, the primary short-term risk remains a potential recession.Trump's new tariff blitz has triggered the synchronized global sell-off. The S&P and the Nasdaq both are in free fall, the EU is threatening countermeasures, UK leaders are pledging industrial bailouts. Even as we are hearing murmurs about Trump giving a reprieve of 90 days, do you think Trump has just launched this global economic war?Arnab Das: We have to take him very seriously and literally on much of this agenda. It is good news that India is moving to liberalise and try to have a deal with the US and that Europe is talking about zeroing out some tariffs. That will move things in the right direction and meet Trump, let us say, something like halfway on the 90-day pause. But the big thing here is that some countries are going to negotiate and some countries are going to retaliate. It is going to be hard to see how this turns into a complete go back to the status quo ante. It is more likely that we get a lot of cross currents that lead to more changes country by country in economic relationship with the US in financial market performance and that we are going to have a much more disjointed world economy with different cycles and different trends even if there is this 90-day pause. I do not think we are going to go back to the status quo ante any time soon. This is not going to go on endlessly, it has to end and the markets are going to be back in action. I do not know if you agree with that but there are recession risks and they are back on every strategist’s dashboard. Is this how recessions begin because the US is weaponizing trade and financial markets are reacting very violently. Policymakers across Europe and the United Kingdom seem to be scrambling. Are we underestimating the global ripple effect or would you say this is going to be a short-lived affair and markets will be back?Arnab Das: The truth is going to be somewhere in between. Maybe the extremes of all of this are not going to last that long. After all, we have just had a 90-day reprieve. I agree pharmaceutical is going to be exempt and there are going to be measures taken to make sure that there is not a complete bloodbath in the economy, but we cannot get away from the fact that the Trump administration is radically changing the US position in the world, with respect to Europe and with respect to Asia and in many dimensions of which trade is only one. Is this the way that recessions get started? Well, this is the way that this recessionary fear and this recessionary pressure is getting started. Of course, most recessions are started by the Fed as it tightens in order to restore price stability and that is how you normally get a recession from the demand side and through monetary policy. In this case, you are getting a regulatory onslaught through trade policy and to some extent, the Fed can help cushion the blow when the growth shock hits. Even if there is some inflation pressure which is likely, the Fed and other central banks can help to cushion that blow because there will also be a growth shock. Some of this is going to be recessionary, some of it is going to be inflationary. So, put the two of those together because it is also affecting the supply side and is going to be stagflationary and that is very difficult to deal with. The only silver lining here is this idea that these radical actions help to open up bilateral trade some more between US and other countries and between third countries. We see India trying to negotiate with the US and strike a deal there that would work for both sides and also the EU responding with this together with India to try and strike out to change the parameters of negotiations. That is the silver lining but the cloud is still there. We are still going to have this challenge with us for some time to come. There is kind of a sense that the US is much more unilateralist, much more unreliable, much less credible than it has been. Maybe some of that can be restored but not all of it, I do not think because we have had such a series of shocks not just in the trade arena but also in the geopolitical arena. People who run the European Union are going to have to be more self-reliant than they have been. In this kind of scenario, what will the Fed do? The Fed chair says the trade war impact is bigger than anticipated. Could this force a pause or a pivot in monetary policy?Arnab Das: Look, they have to wait and see how the dust settles and over time they will cut. The market is obviously pushing them in the direction of sharper cuts rather than waiting and seeing. It could be the case that if a lot of tariffs do go through that, you get some measured inflation pressure but you also get a big growth hit and so over time the Fed will end up cutting and delivering cuts, maybe not quite as many and as quickly as priced in because they are still going to be concerned about inflation expectations of the public. Bond market inflation expectations continue to be well anchored but that is only one part of the story. University of Michigan survey inflation expectations are rising. That is a challenge and if that continues with these very high tariffs and the effort of some companies to pass on those tariff increases, it is going to be potentially one or a few off push to the inflation rate. It is a big consumption tax, and eventually consumption is going to take a bit of a hit from that and then the Fed will be in a better position to cut more clearly and more aggressively. Do you subscribe to that view? Would you call that being a braveheart from the investor's lens? What should be the strategy according to you? Should you sit tight? Should you average down? Should you exit and then wait? What would be your strategy advice?Arnab Das: I would be waiting for the dust to settle a little bit. You have different parts of the world going to react to all of this differently. Right now, there is a lot of dislocation everywhere. But the big picture here is that the US wants to rebalance away from consumption, towards investment, towards exports to some extent. Europe, therefore, is going to respond by boosting domestic demand, spending more money through the government. China is going to try and do the same, maybe to some extent boost consumption. As a lot of trade deal efforts all over the shop unfolds, what you are going to see is people reallocating capital accordingly, maybe a bit out of the US, maybe a bit into Europe, maybe a bit into Asia, maybe a lot less concentration in the US and a shift in market leadership. It is not all going to take place in one day or one week. It will be over time. So, it is a big shock. You want to take a step back and think about your portfolio in a holistic sense, geographically as well as sector-wise and asset class-wise. Take it slow and resist the urge to jump in because there is a lot of dislocation or on the other side of it, completely liquidate as well…. So, what would you say is the biggest risk? Is it recession or is it retaliation right now?Arnab Das: The biggest risk in the very short term is recession. Retaliation is already taking place with China, but the big risk in front of us is recession.
