A Recession Is Somewhat Unavoidable, Says Liz Ann Sonders

Published: April 6, 2023, 3:55 p.m.

b'Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, joins Jack Farley to share her data-driven investment outlook at a challenging time for global markets. Sonders argues that before the turmoil in the regional banking sector, the U.S. was already in a \\u201crolling recession\\u201d where weakness rolled throughout different parts of the economy. Now, after the fall of Silicon Valley Bank (\\u201cSVB\\u201d) in early March, Sonders thinks an official recession (i.e. one declared as such by the National Bureau of Economic Research, or NBER), is more likely, and she says that she thinks a recession is \\u201csomewhat unavoidable.\\u201d\\xa0\\nGiven these headwinds, Sonders\\u2019 investment outlook is that it could be a \\u201cbumpy ride\\u201d in the short-term. However, Sonders and Farley discuss the importance of a long-term outlook and how market timing very frequently underperforms buy-and-hold strategies.
