Daily Fix: The ultimate week ahead video

It's been a fascinating week and one where the bond bulls and equity bears are hurting, and more-and-more strategists are advising clients to look at the reflation trade more readily.

It's been a fascinating week and one where the bond bulls and equity bears are hurting, and more-and-more strategists are advising clients to look at the reflation trade more readily.

Please click on the video to play:

The cynics would argue the steepening of the yield curve has been a position flush out and one that will re-exert itself once the data deteriorates again and suggests we are indeed in a late cycle environment. The world was long duration assets and safe-haven sectors of the financial markets in such great size – hedging against recession risk, a deterioration in trade relations and even a no-deal Brexit – that the recent news flow didn’t justify that one-sided positioning from real money and leveraged accounts.

What we’ve seen is less bad economic data, a commitment from central banks to allow economies to run hot, with the Fed eyeing a move to inflation averaging. While the prospect that an element of tariffs, potentially even all of them, will be rolled back.

I would also consider that the markets may even by front-running a Trump presidential victory in 2020 and the idea of de-regulation and fiscal stimulus, but that, I am sure, is open to debate.

As, per each Friday I have put a video together looking at the movers and shakers in markets, with a specific focus on G10 FX. I have focused on implied volatility and the expected moves from spot, which reflects how the market sees the event risk for the week ahead.

Implied volatility

I flagged that we are looking at a punchy ride in December, at a time when many would rather be winding down. But let’s assess what we see now.

  • Nato Summit – 3 to 4 December
  • OPEC – 5 December
  • German election – 8 December
  • FOMC meeting – 11 December
  • Aramco IPO – 11 December
  • ECB meeting and UK election – 12 December
  • US-China trade talks??

All the best and have a super weekend,

Chris
