Summary
The author argues that the multi-year global central bank easing cycle is ending and will be replaced by a tightening cycle. This shift is being accelerated by a recent oil shock, which will likely cause central banks to hike rates faster than investors currently expect.
•The global central bank easing cycle was already set to conclude this year.
•A recent oil shock is now present, which is expected to accelerate a move toward monetary tightening.
•The author believes this tightening will happen much faster than most investors are prepared for.
