After a 15-year slumber, macro returned with a vengeance in 2022.

Unsurprisingly, the past year may have investors feeling a little wary about how central banks will fare in their race to bring inflation back to target. And inflation is only one part of the story.

As part of our Outlook Series for 2023, we asked nine fund managers who keep a close eye on the big picture to share the top macro indicators worth watching over the next 12 months, as well as what it could take for investors to start feeling a lot more bullish.

And in a world where the impact of record-breaking inflation on earnings is still unclear, 2023 is shaping up to be another year where the macro could dictate the narrative in financial markets once again.
