Heteronomics

Heteronomics represents a different kind of economics. We believe analysis should delve into the details of what is really going on, rather than using overly simplistic assumptions to quick-sell stories. Independence from myopic institutional pressures allows us to focus on the realities underlying your asset allocation decisions, without the conflicts of the old market structures. Heteronomics targets the themes driving UK asset prices, offering the benefits of depth, independence and ultimately price.

The supply shock has squeezed the ECB out of its good place, but President Lagarde sees the ECB as well-positioned and well-equipped. It now has a clear hawkish bias.
Core inflation is stuck above 2%, with upside risks, and coded guidance of monitoring closely is back. We expect the ECB to make a single 25bp rate hike in June.
If attacks intensify on energy infrastructure, the supply shock’s duration would rise, lifting prices and risking a propagation that requires a much more forceful response.
