From overheating fears to slow down fears

What led to the Q1 2018 correction?

1.

Strong growth momentum + Trump’s tax reform = January’s equity ‘melt-up’

2.

US inflation concern triggered sell-off – exacerbated by volatility short sellers

3.

Volatility return triggers debate of valuation levels under ‘old normal’

4.

Macro economic data shows growth ‘coming off the boil’

5.

Second wave sell-off on slowing fears, rather than overheating and inflation!

6.

Since then: Big Tech rethink; Trade wars; Middle East real war?

What has changed?

1.

Economic growth increasingly resilient - but highly valued markets vulnerable

‘Old Normal’ returns - with inflation expectations instead of deflation fear

3.

Even mild inflation necessitates higher interest rates and bond yields

Growth resilient, but susceptibility to surprise risks remains high

Tatton’s central case: Positive trend but volatile

Resilient but slowing growth, QT, trade frictions, Capex = downside and upside risks!

1.

Steady economic momentum supports further earnings growth

2.

Rising yields put pressure on valuations and limit upside to earnings growth

3.

UK improves only on back of global economic momentum – Brexit risk remains

4.

Growth flattens, stabilising inflation dynamics, but destabilising markets

Oversold US-$ rebounds and hurts EM prospects

Summary – lower but positive return expectations

  • Recalibration causes market friction – volatility here to stay
  • Orderly bond market outcome more probable than disorderly outcome
  • US-$ strengthening has potential to slow global economy and EMs in particular
  • Goldilocks may be over, but the economic expansion is set to continue
  • Central bank watch: Asset price inflation (bubbles) vs price inflation – the era of

the ‘Greenspan put’ is probably over – lower returns ahead Cycles do not die of old age – policy mistakes, overheating or shocks will!
