LONDON, June 15 (Reuters) - Hawkish central banks have sent a resounding "no" to markets betting recession would force rate cuts soon, leaving money managers scrambling for direction as the second half of the year approaches.
"Markets have been wrong not only in their interpretation of the data but of the central bank reaction," he added.
"Even though inflation is coming down, you are still getting that phase were the central banks think they need to talk hawkishly about this."
Canada last week restarted rate hikes, Australia has come off a pause and Norway may have to accelerate hikes next week.
BofA now expects two 25 bps interest rate hikes from the Fed this year, JPMorgan sees only one more and Morgan Stanley sees none.
