US import tariff to have negative impact on India growth estimates: Morgan Stanley

US banks predict climate goals will fail – but air conditioning firms will thrive
- Wall Street financial institutions predict that the Paris climate agreement will fail to limit global heating, leading to a 3C world with catastrophic consequences.
- The finance sector, including Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, and the Institute of International Finance, expects a 41% growth in the air conditioning market, reaching $331 billion by the end of the decade.
- Morgan Stanley's report highlights several air conditioning companies poised to profit from increasing heatwaves in a hotter world.
- Many analysts, including the United Nations, believe that current greenhouse gas emissions put the Paris climate goals in jeopardy.
- The return of Donald Trump as US president has undermined climate efforts, with major banks scaling back their commitments to climate goals.
- Morgan Stanley's investor research on air conditioning has been criticized as cynical, especially following their withdrawal from the Net-Zero Banking Alliance.
- Despite the potential growth in air conditioning demand, using fossil fuels to power AC units will contribute to further global warming.
- Climate economist Gernot Wagner points out the 'greenhushing' trend among corporations, where climate risks are acknowledged as leading to investment opportunities.
- The failure to stay below the 1.5C warming target set by the Paris agreement means that climate risks will worsen, creating new investment prospects.
- Businesses are eyeing opportunities in a warming world, including new shipping routes through the Arctic Ocean and mineral exploration in previously ice-covered areas.

4 stock market moves to make as recession calls rise on Wall Street, according to Morgan Stanley's stock chief
- Wall Street is seeing an increased risk of recession, with Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson indicating a 30%-35% chance, up from 10%-20% at the beginning of the year.
- Wilson outlined four investment themes for economic slowdown, including shifting away from consumer goods and small-cap stocks.
- Consumer goods stocks are being avoided due to underlying economic weakness, seen in declining home sales and manufacturing activity over the past few years.
- Consumer confidence has been declining, with concerns over income, business activity, and job market, impacting consumer spending.
- Morgan Stanley's focus is on high-quality defensive and growth stocks, as companies lack pricing power in the current economic climate.
- The bank recommends waiting to purchase the weakest sectors and companies when the market officially enters a recession for potential gains.
- Key sectors to watch for investment in a recession include consumer goods, materials, and the energy sector for a potential 'rolling recovery.'
- Amid increasing recession calls, strategists emphasize tactical moves and proper sector positioning for advantageous investment.
- Wilson's team at Morgan Stanley has outperformed the S&P 500 by 7% year-to-date by being strategic and focusing on the right sectors.
- Goldman Sachs and other institutions have also raised recession probabilities, reflecting the growing concerns across the financial industry.
