El 'relief rally' pierde fuerza, pese al apoyo de la Fed[...]Como hemos venido manteniendo en estos comentarios desde hace tiempo, en nuestra opinión el ajuste que han iniciado la economía y los mercados en el 2022 es un ajuste largo, estructural, derivado de un cambio de régimen monetario, de un cambio de modelo de crecimiento y de un cambio de entorno geopolítico. Ese ajuste, a cambio de no ser traumático o caótico, como lo fue, por ejemplo, el de otoño de 2008, va a ser sostenido y duradero, largo en el tiempo. Podemos aspirar a que sea un proceso ordenado, y de hecho por ahora lo está siendo, pero todo indica que va a ser un proceso prolongado, como a cámara lenta.[...]https://www.r4.com/articulos-y-analisis/opinion-de-expertos/el-relief-rally-pierde-fuerza-pese-al-apoyo-de-la-fed
Las bolsas europeas suben, los valores inmobiliarios bajanLas bolsas europeas abrieron al alza el lunes, a la espera de los datos de inflación de EEUU previstos para el martes, mientras que los valores inmobiliarios caían tras los decepcionantes resultados trimestrales de la sueca Castellum.El índice paneuropeo STOXX 600 avanzaba un 0,2%, tras registrar el viernes su primera caída semanal en tres sesiones.Castellum, que cotiza en Estocolmo, perdía un 5,8%, tras anunciar planes de ampliar capital y la ausencia de un anuncio de dividendo por parte de su consejo.El índice del sector inmobiliario europeo cedía un 1,0%.[...]https://es.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/las-bolsas-europeas-suben-los-valores-inmobiliarios-bajan-2357076
@NickTimiraos Former Fed economist John Roberts does an exercise on what a lower 2023 unemployment rate projection (of 4.2%, instead of 4.6%) could do to FOMC's SEPTo keep inflation on the current projected path, the terminal rate estimate might go up to 5.6% https://t.co/DNaLpE1pnd
Fed’s Bowman Expects More Rate Hikes to Reach Inflation GoalThe Federal Reserve will likely have to keep raising interest rates to rein in price growth, which could slow economic expansion and affect the jobs market, Governor Michelle Bowman said.“We are still far from achieving price stability, and I expect that it will be necessary to further tighten monetary policy to bring inflation down toward our goal,” Bowman said Monday at a community banking conference in Orlando, Florida. “Doing so will likely lead to subdued growth in economic activity and some softening in labor-market conditions.”She said restoring price stability is essential to support a sustainably strong labor market.“While there are costs and risks to tightening monetary policy to lower inflation, I see the costs and risks of allowing inflation to persist as far greater.” (...)
China’s Demographic Balloon Is Rapidly Losing AltitudeCountry’s population decline isn’t just about fewer low-cost workers. It will hit China’s development strategy in another way, too.Beijing has spent the past week needling Washington over the forcible deflation and subsequent crash of a certain balloon. But a different sort of leakage should worry Beijing much more: China’s population fell outright last year for the first time since the early 1960s.The threat posed by China’s declining labor force to its low-cost manufacturing model is well understood. But worsening demographics could strike at the heart of China’s development strategy in another way as well: by eating away at the savings it needs to finance its expansive industrial policy and research juggernaut.China’s dependency ratio—the population of children and elderly relative to that of the 15- to 64-year-old age bracket—hit 46% in 2021, up from just 34% in 2010. An earlier decline in that ratio was a key factor pushing China’s savings rate skyward in the early 2000s.To be sure, lots of workers without dependents to support wasn’t the only factor. Companies were also socking away funds, for example, thanks to the profit boom after China’s accession to the World Trade Organization. But there are some key reasons to think that the nation’s savings rate will keep falling now. Households or the government will need to spend much more supporting the elderly, and companies will need to pay up for scarcer labor. At the same time, the globalized trading system that supercharged Chinese manufacturing profits is badly fraying.Scarcer savings are important because China’s state-directed development strategy depends on an enormous pool of cheap capital stuck in the country. State-owned industrial companies, whose aggregate return on assets was below average bank-lending rates for much of the past decade, depend on below-market rates from state banks. Financing multibillion-dollar chip-investment funds or subsidies for local electric-vehicle champions could become more difficult as China saves less. And the need to keep scarcer savings at home could further darken the prospects for capital account opening—or a more dominant global role for the yuan.Even considering China’s relatively meager public welfare system, the burden on public finances is already becoming more obvious. By 2021 a quarter of all local government expenditures were already for social insurance, healthcare and family planning, figures from data provider CEIC show, up from just 18% as recently as 2013.China does have levers it can pull to keep people in the workforce and contain rising labor costs for companies. Most obviously, it can raise the statutory retirement age, which remains low: 60 and 55 respectively for white-collar men and women. But that might have a more limited impact that one would expect: 70% of men keep working after 60, according to Capital Economics, in part because retirement benefits are so meager. Pushing more women back into the labor force in their 50s could have unintended consequences, too. They often provide substantial free child care to their grandchildren, which helps keep young women in their 20s and 30s in the workforce. Curtailing that could drive fertility rates even lower, or push younger women to work fewer hours.Automation is a more promising strategy, at least from companies’ perspectives. China installed 243,300 industrial robots in 2021, according to the International Federation of Robotics, up by almost half from 2020. But robots are still relatively limited in the sorts of jobs they can do—and if the U.S. and its allies keep curtailing China’s access to advanced chip technology, that could eventually impair the nation’s ability to fully capitalize on robotics and artificial intelligence as a solution.In the near term, the demographic drag on household finances could limit the staying power of the current sharp rebound in Chinese spending on discretionary services like eating out and leisure travel. Demographics isn’t destiny per se. But for China, it is an increasingly chilly headwind.
Inflation Is Falling, and Where It Lands Depends on These Three ThingsGoods, shelter and other services could tug consumer prices in different directions this year(...) Rent Deflation: Wait For ItSoaring demand for houses and apartments from low interest rates and remote working caused shelter to contribute more than half of December’s 5.7% core CPI inflation. But as Mr. Powell put it, disinflation in housing “is in the pipeline.”Economists agree: they expect this category to continue rising through the spring, but then to decelerate. Jake Oubina, senior economist at Piper Sandler, forecasts shelter inflation will fall from 8.1% in March to 5.3% by December.That reversal comes down to how pandemic-driven shifts interact with inflation methodology. To measure what tenants and homeowners pay for housing, the CPI includes new and existing leases, and thus reflects changes in new leases with a lag. Those new leases are now slowing sharply; Zillow’s index of new leases declined at a three-month annualized rate of 3% in December. This portends a steep deceleration in the CPI’s housing measure, which grew 7.5% in December, said Mr. Oubina. He expects housing will continue to boost inflation but that its contribution to the 12-month increase in CPI will peak in June and shrink by 0.7 of a percentage point by December, relative to a year earlier. That is for the CPI, of which shelter makes up nearly one-third. Housing is just 15% of the PCE index and thus has less influence there.
BOE Official Says Brexit Cost Every British Household £1,000*Wave of business investment ‘stopped in its tracks’ by Brexit*Haskel says ‘Productivity penalty’ cost UK economy £29 billionA Bank of England policy maker has warned that a wave of business investment was “stopped in its tracks” by Brexit, dealing a blow to the UK economy worth £1,000 ($1,204) per households.Jonathan Haskel, an external member of the Monetary Policy Committee, said that the UK “suffered much more” from its productivity woes since exiting the European Union led to a sharp drop in the pace of business investment.The remarks are the latest warning from officials at the central bank about the economic impact of Brexit as concern mounts that the UK is headed into a protracted slump. Investment by UK businesses, which have been plagued by uncertainty and weaker trade ties to the EU, has lagged behind previous performance and other countries since Brexit.Haskel said the “productivity penalty” from Brexit is currently 1.3% of gross domestic product, or about £29 billion in total or £1,000 per household. By the end of the BOE’s forecast period, the penalty will increase to 2.8% of GDP, he added.“If you look in the period up to 2016, it’s true that we had a bigger slowdown in productivity up to 2016, but we had a lot of investment,” he said in an interview with Matthew C. Klein on the web newsletter, “The Overshoot.”“We had a big boom between 2012-ish to 2016,” Haskel said. “But then investment just plateaued from 2016, and we dropped to the bottom of G-7 countries.”The BOE recently said Brexit was part of a potent mix of factors reducing the UK economy’s potential growth. At its February Monetary Policy Report, Threadneedle Street warned that business investment is “very subdued” and that the trade hit from Brexit had happened even sooner than it first feared.“We suffered much more,” Haskel said in the interview. “A bit of that is that we have this larger financial sector. But I think it really goes back to Brexit.” “We were at the top of the wave, of investment in 2012. If we pushed that out a little bit, then our slowdown may not have looked quite so bad, but it was stopped in its tracks in 2016.”
