5、contemplate the rest of 19 and 20,the key question is whether pressures have truly abated&the extent of any likely reflation.Over the last three months all major CBs executed a sharp U-turn from normalization to support.At the same time,China has abandoned its ill-conceived de-leveraging to focus on
6、 supporting growth.The only remaining question is whether all of these actions are sufficient to justify current asset prices or whether more needs to be done.In the former case,a smooth goldilocks environment would prevail.In the latter,we need to brace for volatilities.It is a fork in the road,wit
7、h no middle ground.Investors are today in an unchartered territory,with neither US consumers nor China yet willing to underwrite a much more robust reflation while CBs are trying to find the middle ground of being supportive but short of injecting fresh liquidity.Given that the world is labouring un
8、der a mountain of excess capital,are mere words and signs of CBs concerns sufficient to unfreeze capital and ensure its faster multiplication?Ditto for China-is lack of erosion of shadow banking and a contained rise in local government debt enough to stimulate global reflation?Indications thus far s
9、uggest no.Global liquidity is still eroding while reflationary momentum remains muted and hesitant.Equities(perpetual bulls),focus on a declining rates and a hope for growth while bonds(perpetual bears)expect disinflation.The two are not necessarily incompatible.Equities refuse to lower terminal val
10、ues,even as they cut WACC.On the other hand,bond investors still harbour illusions that debts are real and that CBs/states face binding constraints.They are both akin to medieval sailors trying to find a shore without a compass.more must be done.Key Risk:too little first&then too much Our concern is
11、 not that we are heading into recession,but rather that growth rates might stabilize at levels incompatible with prevailing asset prices,leading to rising volatilities.If global growth stays at 3%(4Q18-2.8%),it would be unlikely to underwrite 20-21 EPSg rebound to 10%-15%clip implicit in current val
12、ues.However,we equally maintain that the centre of gravity is already shifting to pro-cyclical policies.As elections reward extremes,we believe politics are likely to deliver more robust stimuli into 20-21 and these might prove to be more durable and mostly fiscally-led.Indeed,there is already a ris
13、ing chorus of voices to support such a shift(e.g.MMT,post-Keynesians).It is just a matter of time.Thus investors are in a transition from CB bubbles to fiscal bubbles,the next likely stage in a three-decade journey of managing bubbles in order to safeguard real economies.We doubt that there are many
14、 other realistic options,and in our view,investors who worry that CBs and states are running out of tools are wrong.There is no limit,albeit at a cost of destroying whatever is left of private sector signals.While there are no good LT outcomes,there is also no need to expect an instant Armageddon.Th
15、e key theme for the next 12 months:too little support to begin with but probably too much later,as we transit through the twilight from monetary levers to a fusion of monetary&fiscal policies.This will alter investment strategies,but for now,we are staying with secular strengths in stocks&markets.R=

39、cal Only thing we have to fear is fear itself,FDR Inaugural Address,1932 In the middle of the worst Depression on record,FDRs inaugural Presidential address urged people to go beyond hopelessness and as he argued convert retreat into advance.He went beyond that by placing the blame on the shoulders
40、of bankers and private sector arguing that rulers of the exchange of mankinds goods have failedpractices of the unscrupulous money changers stand indicted in the court of public opinion,rejected by the hearts and minds of menthe money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civ
41、ilizationwe may now restore that temple to the ancient truthsthe measure of the restoration lies in the extent to which we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.Although far more eloquent than Maxine Waters(Chairperson of the Financial Services Committee),the implications of today
42、s speeches are not much different to FDRs address.While clearly they would never blame people and their representatives for creating an environment that encouraged money changers to act unscrupulously,as in 1932,todays capitalism is undergoing a major change.We firmly believe that investors are witn
43、essing a transition from Central Bank(CB)and financialization bubbles to fiscal bubbles,as people revolt against rising income and wealth inequalities and demand protection from eroding value and marginal pricing power of their services.As discussed in our notes,this Maslowian disappointment is fuel
44、led by a deadly and self-reinforcing embrace of technological disruption and over financialization,and it is unstoppable.Unlike 1932,this is not driven by unemployment or declining wages,but rather by eroding life-satisfaction and disintermediation of labour,where in Hararis words,ultimately there w
45、ould be no cure for irrelevance.While most commentators argue that transition to the new world would take time and remains uncertain,it is the marginal changes rather than averages that determine economic and political outcomes;and on a margin people feel(justifiably)that they are suffering from a d
46、eclining marginal utility and that wealth and income inequalities are widening.The response to the twin evils of declining productivity and dropping marginal pricing power was to embark from 1980s onward on a period of intense financialization,thus bringing future consumption to the present by relyi
47、ng on asset prices to fill the void.Alas,financialization has its negative consequences of further aggravating inequalities while requiring an ever declining cost of capital,which in turn prevents clearances(causing even stronger disinflation)and contributes towards acceleration in the pace of techn
48、ological substitution.The remedy was in many ways worse than the disease.Now people are rebelling against financialization without recognizing that it was the financialization that enabled wealth creation over the last three decades.There is no doubt that if we ever try to converge money supply and
49、nominal GDP,value of assets would drop,and the same people will discover that their pensions are not worth much,and that their houses are under water.There is no way out of this,other than continuing to ensure that asset prices are holistically supported,and it can be only achieved by liquidity grow
50、ing faster than nominal GDP and volatilities must be constrained to an ever narrower ranges.Although monetary levers are the key,increasingly we believe that public sectors would come to rely far more extensively on fiscal policies,not only because they are less distorting but also because they are
