A likely recession is the latest worry for investors.Inflation and steep interest rate hikes are creating a lot of trouble for major global economies.
Most of these countries historically had very low inflation and suddenly inflation is multi-decade high in these countries. To counter this, central banks are expected to go for steeper rate hikes.

In short, developed economies may remain under pressure till there is clarity on the future course of the economy.
