Stocks fell into a bear market on Friday with the S&P 500 now off 20% from its record
“Stocks are still liberally priced and the psychology that drove them upward for a decade has turned negative,” wrote George Ball, chairman at investment firm Sanders Morris Harris. “The average bear market lasts a year (338 days, more precisely). This downturn has run for only one-third of that, so it probably has more downside room to run, albeit punctuated by interim rallies.”

Interesting view. It may be true that the US has used a low rates environment to bid up equity markets but I wouldn't say that, for example, the UK is any safer. It's just that in the UK people preferred to bid up housing. If countries allowed an asset bubble to develop investors are likely to take a kicking sooner or later, it won't particularly matter what that asset bubble is in.
I'm less pessimistic about OECD governments being able to protect their populations from rising consumer costs however. There are a lot of EM countries out there that have been subsidising food commodities and hydrocarbons using debt. They are running out of financing options however. Once they go belly-up pressure will start to be relieved on commodities.
