Structuring Desk: How Cyclical?

Hi Fellow Monkeys,

How do you think FX & Rates Structuring Desk will perform/fare during recession times?

Is the Structuring Desk very cyclical in nature or stable?

As DM raised rates, will demand for structured products sink a lot? We have seen a lot of outflows from EM to DM investments in the past fee months.
