Asian equities may be relative winner in US recession: Raychaudhuri

Quick Summary:

If a recession materialises in the United States this year, the relative performance of U.S.and Asian equities will likely be quite different from what investors have seen in past decades.

Indeed, the latter may be the 'risk-off' trade this time around.

This behaviour is largely explained by the fact that recessions increase risk aversion among investors, causing funds to flow towards "safe haven” assets, which typically means moving away from emerging markets.
