2. Jan/Feb 2017 Global Markets Preview: "Winter is Coming"
From our friends at TradeTheNews.com
The poll-defying outcome of the US election has sent ripples across the markets for the last two months. Since November 8, the dollar index is up over five percent and bond yields have spiked, as investors sold assets to buy dollar-denominated ones, betting the new US government will enact measures that boost economic growth and inflation. This shift wiped out well over $1 trillion of value in the global bond markets, even as stock indices soared to new record highs.
In the same timeframe the other late-2016 surprise - OPEC actually agreeing to a produce cut scheme - has firmed up energy prices. That along with some long overdue signs of wage growth has given some central banks the cover they need to begin contemplating pausing or even reversing their expansive monetary stimulus programs.
For various reasons, the stock market has had three bad Januarys in a row, and January 2017 may fall prey to the same pattern. The market euphoria over a Republican sweep that helped lift the DJIA to nearly 20,000 by year end was in part due to investors waiting to sell their winners until 2017 when the presumption is that capital gains will be lower under the new Administration. That could translate into delayed portfolio rebalancing in early January, and that selling may be exacerbated by traders starting to consider potential policy missteps by the Trump Administration which don't appear to have been factored in over two months since the election. At the first sign that the Republican love fest in Washington has soured investors may turn tail and run.
