Experts Warn Markets Are Vulnerable to Crashes That Could Rattle Global Economy
• Markets are overly focused on short-term profits rather than long-term challenges like inflation and global conflicts. This could lead to a crash.
• Supply chain disruptions from events like the war in Ukraine risk further inflation and interest rate hikes.
• Stock markets are detached from economic fundamentals and being artificially propped up by excess liquidity. A correction seems likely.
• A stock market crash could have cascading effects on the broader financial system.
• Economists put too much faith in financial markets supporting healthy capitalism; we need to re-think this model.
