A New Recession Canary in the Coal Mine, Morgan Stanley Says

Bild
Morgan Stanley strategist Srikanth Sankaran in a new note.  He points out that while junk-rated bonds have traditionally been the credit market’s first to crack as economic conditions deteriorate, that position may now be filled by the more than $1 trillion worth of floating-rate loans. These leveraged loans were supposed to be big winners for investors as interest rates rise, since they reset to keep up with benchmark rates set by the Federal Reserve and therefore offer the possibility of higher returns.  Some analysts have warned that companies which have borrowed using leveraged loans will face higher bills that could threaten their ability to repay.

A shift into a 1970s-style era of high and unstable inflation would be a calamity

Policymakers have not confronted anything like this for four decades. If the planned tightening of monetary policy is likely to generate a recession in the US, what might happen in Europe?  A central point is that these were intellectual mistakes. So, in my view, has been the lack of attention paid to monetary data. --- As inflation rises, the monetarist dog is having its day. https://www.ft.com/content/0cd1d666-8842-4c82-8344-07c4e433a408   --- Martin Wolf FT 30 August 2022 https://www.ft.com/content/b2ca227e-9fd2-4f47-8a35-18b176a864f0 German inflation hits 40-year high of 8.8 per cent FT 30 August 2022 https://www.ft.com/content/7ac09a84-0322-45c8-9167-3c24ddb06525

Next week, Britain will have the most ethnically-diverse cabinet of any major country in the OECD bloc

 The new Prime Minister will also preside over one of the most liberal and open immigration systems among the developed economies, and considerably more open in key respects than the large EU states.  The actual regime established by Boris Johnson for work visas and the resettlement of legal refugees is strikingly expansionary. The latest UK Immigration Statistics in the year to June show that a record 1.1 million people were issued visas to live in this country, a 70pc rise on pre-Brexit levels. Educated Indians lead the way. The Rwanda camp for illegal migrants, if it ever happens, is an odd distraction within the greater picture.  The post-Brexit system stops one particular category: uncontrolled flows of cheap labour from the EU. But it is welcoming for another category: skilled migrants from any part of the world, so long as they meet wage and education thresholds.

Rooting out high inflation will become much harder

Bild
Speaking at the annual gathering of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, many said that the global economy was entering a new and tougher era. “At least over the next five years, monetary policymaking is going to be much more challenging than it was in the two decades before the pandemic struck,” Gita Gopinath, the IMF’s deputy managing director, told the Financial Times. Cutting through the buoyant atmosphere among Jackson Hole attendees was the overarching concern that the world and the economic relationships that underpin it had fundamentally changed. Complicating matters are doubts about just how much policy tightening is needed in the face of unpredictable gyrations in supply and, in turn, prices. The next few years are at risk of being known as the “Great Volatility” — in contrast with the past two decades, which economists called the “Great Moderation” The 2 per cent inflation target  came up repeatedly throughout the conference, with economists suggesting that it may need

Economists shouldn’t underestimate the power of a good story - narrative matters

 Investors should take note of some intriguing research floating around the edge of the Jackson Hole meeting about the importance of storytelling in monetary policy.  After the 2008 financial crisis, Robert Shiller, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, urged his colleagues to study how “narratives” shape sentiment and thus economic trends. And one encouraging post-crisis development in economics is that a swelling number of young behavioural finance economists have heeded Shiller’s call.  So if I were his speechwriter, I would  argue that inflation will fall when rates go up, and promise to keep raising those rates until price growth is at a sensible level.  That will not be politically popular ahead of a crucial midterm election. But it is at least a crystal clear message — or it would be if the Fed actually does it.

Why are official interest rates so low if inflation is dangerously high?

 There are two extremely obvious things going on that have confused people about Fed policy. They are:  1. How is inflation going to fall as rapidly as the Fed assumes, even before it has raised interest rates only to around the neutral level? 2. How has the Fed picked the level to which it thinks inflation will fall on its own before monetary policy has to do the rest of the work? In these projections, the Fed focuses on the PCE deflator, not the CPI, a gauge for which inflation has gone even crazier than in this PCE. The Fed sees headline PCE at 4.4% at end 2022, 2.65% at end 2023 and at 2.25% at end 2024.  On what planet would any sane, experienced securities market investor think that the Fed would stop hiking rates at 2.5% with inflation so high? I cannot answer that.  Robert Brusca MarketWatch Aug. 25, 2022 https://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-federal-reserves-powell-has-a-lot-of-explaining-to-do-11661445167 Styrränta och inflation https://englundmacro.blogspot.com/2022/08/styrr

Jackson Hole Should Be a Mea Culpa for Central Bankers

Policy makers need to acknowledge their past mistakes, as well as detail the trade-off between growth and inflation. At the European Central Bank’s forum in Sintra, Portugal in June, Powell admitted that "we now understand better how little we understand about inflation.”  More candor is needed now on how the inflationary monster was so underestimated, and how far policy makers are willing to go in sacrificing growth — and jobs — to tame it. The global central bank reaction to the pandemic prevented a major recession, but the stimulus was left in place for far too long.

Inflation-linked index falls most this year

At a time of roaring inflation, bonds that hedge price pressures sound like a winner. In reality, they’ve been a disaster.   The Global Inflation-Linked Bond Index has plunged 17% in 2022 -- the worst-performing of the 20 key fixed-income benchmarks offered by Bloomberg.  These inflation funds have a high sensitivity to changes in interest rates as they are stuffed with linkers that have long maturities.

Fed wishes to crush stock markets

The Fed is determined to break Wall Street’s torrid and unwelcome rally, a bear-trap variant if ever there was one. Fed is openly irritated that markets have jumped the gun. It thinks investors have misunderstood the unscripted comments by Mr Powell as evidence of an early “pivot” in the interest rate cycle and a licence for fresh excess in tech stocks and frothy asset markets across the world.  It wishes to push up junk yield spreads and restore some Schumpeterian discipline to corporate finance. It wishes to tighten financial conditions as a mechanism for choking inflation.   It intends to accelerate the pace of quantitative tightening (QT) in September with $95bn of monthly bond sales. It intends to drain liquidity from the world’s dollarised financial system, and the rest of us can drop dead. Fight this Fed if you dare. The effect will be overwhelmed once QT begins in earnest next month. That is when the real trouble begins.  Over the last three months M1 money has contracted in ab

It’s not enough to just build renewable power. But just increasing the amount of clean power generation isn’t enough. We also need to be able to transmit the power.  And for various reasons, the existing power grid we have in the US isn’t up for that task.

Edwards noted approvingly the recent commentary from Bob Prince, the co-chief investment officer at hedge fund giant Bridgewater, who expects a multi-year secular tightening cycle.

Fed officials agreed to eventually dial back the pace of interest-rate hikes
