Saxo Bank skriver i en analyse, at coronakrisen vil få gennemgribende virkninger i økonomien og på finansmarkederne. Vi vil få et U-opsving og ikke et V-opsving, og staterne vil få mere indflydelse som i 50’erne. Dette samt de enorme opkøb fra centralbankerne betyder en krybende nationalisering af finansmarkederne.
Uddrag fra Saxo Bank:
Summary: This is my first macro presentation to clients since the coronavirus outbreak. I think it provides a clear assessment of what have been successfully done by policymakers since early March, what are the challenges lying ahead, and how should investors proceed in this very unusual bear market rally.
We are facing an unprecedented crisis: Almost 100% of businesses are affected the COVID-19 outbreak vs 60% in a « normal » recession.
Our baseline macroeconomic scenario is that we have entered into the worst recession since 1929 that will be followed by a U-shaped recovery. However, there are many downside risks to growth to keep in mind: weak global aggregate demand due to the hysteresis effect, tourism will not get back to normal before 2021-22 (it represents more than 15% of direct GDP contribution in Spain, Portugal and Greece), the risk of solvency is increasing fast in the service sector paving the way to a wave of bankruptcies.
Policymakers will implement new policy innovations to mitigate social discontent (UBI), deal with the increase in debt (MMT, monetization and YCC – Yield Curve Control to limit the appreciation in interest rates) and will also resort to old tools (such as higher taxation).
We are at the beginning of a regime shift back towards the 1950s characterized by “big government” and ultra-loose monetary policy (“lean against the wind” monetary policy). Higher inflation is becoming a real long-term risk that could be amplified by de-globalisation forces, debt monetization and the redirection of value chains.
Governments will stop using nominal GDP and will refer to well-being indicators.
