An Eastern Wind

Published on: March 21st, 2020

As COVID-19 is spreading globally, the economic impact is going to be violent and reach epic proportions. As we are still at the very beginning of this marathon, let’s set the tone for what to expect in the coming weeks.

    I fear the central banks response more than anything. They are trying to solve a supply shock with demand stimulus. The problem isn't consumption its production. People can't go out and consume what they normally would in the economy. I believe that we are staring into an abyss of stagflation or very high inflation. The knock on effects could be monumental. This is the end of the federal reserves creditability? Is this the end of the 30 plus year bond bull market? Is this the end of the dollar as the world reserve currency? Is the democratic west going to use this as an impetus to impose a police state? I agree with raoul that this is a marathon, so buckle up.

      Completely agree. If, however, by some black magic this thing disappears with the rise in the Northern hemisphere temperature in the next few months, i think we're going to see one of the most violent V shape recoveries in the history of the stock market given the amount of liquidity that is currently out there. I'm more however inclined to think this will either be U or L shaped given the psychological shock this has and will continue to have on the global economy. Some really interesting times ahead that will have major impacts on geopolitics and some of our most pressing social issues.

    Good collection of the current status, but the point where you guys excel - thinking ahead - isn´t really in the report... What do you think it will mean for the global system? How do you think the dynamic between the countries will play out? For example: What´s the likelihood that the Chinese debt based economy will blow up? If the dollar continues to go up, where will the likely breaking point be?
