Citi Bear Market Checklist Hits 10 of 18 Flags, Highest Since 2008 Crisis
2 articles · Updated · Seeking Alpha · Jun 5
Summary
Citi’s proprietary Bear Market Checklist has risen to 10 of 18 global warning flags, its highest reading since the 2008 financial crisis.
The signal is flashing even as global equities hover near record levels, underscoring a widening gap between market performance and Citi’s risk indicators.
Citi said the U.S. market is also showing elevated bear-market risks, extending the warning beyond a purely global measure.
The reading suggests investors face a more fragile backdrop than headline index levels imply, with conditions now at their most stressed in nearly two decades.
