A World Economic Forum survey shows 89% of chief economists expect the global economy to slow over the next 12 months, with one in five predicting a significant decline. However, 58% do not expect a recession to begin in the next year. The S&P 500 Shiller CAPE ratio is just over 41, near the record high of 44 reached before the dot-com bubble burst, suggesting the market is richly valued. Investors are advised to focus on quality stocks with fair valuations and strong fundamentals to weather potential volatility.
