Global inflation or deflation? - Part 2

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/global-inflation-or-deflation.html

Our latest analysis is that inflation will rear its head in the 2nd half of 2019.

What caused the sudden change from our previous analysis whereby Asia would face deflation?

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/asian-deflation-is-happening.html

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/01/deflation-will-start-in-asia-soon.html

Well, our change stemmed from the US political will to depreciate the USD to create inflation which ran counter to our previous deflation analysis.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/usd-is-likely-to-depreciate-soon-why.html

Furthermore, the pork prices in China will appreciate in the 2nd half of 2019 because of swine disease.  This forces China to import pigs in huge numbers which will boost the pork prices as pork is a staple food in China.  It also forms part of the CPI calculation.

https://www.porkbusiness.com/article/chinas-pork-imports-double-2019-rabobank-analyst-predicts

As the USD is expected to depreciate and worldwide food prices (including China) are expected to increase, we have decided to change our stance from deflation to inflation in the 2nd half of 2019.

China has cut back on Boeing planes after 737-Max saga.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/airbus-seals-long-awaited-aircraft-163320433.html

China has just ordered a US$35b deal from Airbus which is a blow to Boeing.

It is ridiculous to solve a defective structural design with new anti-stall software.  Buying more from Airbus means buying less from Boeing.  Nobody will buy from both manufacturers at the same time!

The market rout is not over yet.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/china-refuses-to-concede-on-us-demands-to-ease-curbs-on-tech-11374034

The investors have not factored in the breakdown of the US-China trade talk.  Insofar, the investors have been optimistic about the outcome and are buying because of the fear of missing out of the market rally.

If the US demands get too outrageous, China will walk away from the trade deal.

Huawei won the fight in Europe against the US.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/exclusive--eu-to-drop-threat-of-huawei-ban-but-wants-5g-risks-monitored---sources-11371674

How did Huawei win the fight?

Huawei was able to win the fight because of its 10,000+ patents.  The EU realized that it would contravene Huawei's patents in 5G and couldn't develop the same 5G speed without Huawei.  Furthermore, excluding Huawei's components and parts in the EU would increase the 5G costs tremendously.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/wipo-showed-that-china-didnt-steal.html

Well done Huawei!

What caused the US stock markets to plunge yesterday?

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dow-why-stock-market-falling-141730433.html

The following contributing factors:

1.The global environment especially the recent Germany PMI data.  Germany is the bellwether of Europe and it will drag the whole Europe down when it is having a recession.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/germany-will-enter-into-recession-in.html

2.The chaotic US treasury market is signalling a recession is in the offing.

https://sg-stock.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-us-treasurys-situation-is-getting.html

3. The dovish fed policy is creating an artificially low interest rate environment which will make the banking and financial industry less profitable.  In a nutshell, the banks and financial firms will find it difficult to earn more incomes in a low rate environment.

Germany will enter into a recession in the 2nd half of 2019.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/german-manufacturing-sinks-deeper-contraction-083000514.html

The PMI is at 44.7 now.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/asian-shares-firm-solid-u-011607182.html

The German bund 10-year yield is negative.

The PMI is a harbinger and the country usually enters into a recession 6 months later.  Therefore, it is likely that Germany will enter into a recession around September 2019.  There are many telltale signs now.

The US treasury's situation is getting chaotic. - Part 2

The US bond market doesn't look good after the US Fed expressed its super dovish stance (No interest rate hikes in 2019 and termination of QT).

From the screen above, we can see the following yield curve inversions:
1m yield > 2m yield
1m yield > 3m yield
1m yield > 6m yield
1m yield > 1y yield
1m yield > 2y yield
1m yield > 3y yield
1m yield > 5y yield
1m yield > 7y yield

3m yield (2.49%)  < 10y yield (2.54%) = Spread is narrowing!

When the short term yield is more than the long term yield, it is a monetary tightening symptom.  Why?

When I was a finance student, I learnt the time value of money concept in the university.  Money is worth lesser and lesser into the future and it needs to be compensated if we use our monies for investment for the current period.  Therefore, the interest or yield return that we demand must commensurate with time.  In other words, the longer is the investment period, the higher is the interest.

Furthermore, uncertainty (risk) increases with time and we also must be compensated more for investing in a longer period.

When the short term yield is greater than the long term yield, it is showing that access to cheap money is no longer available because investors are demanding a higher interest rate for taking a short term risk.  This will create short term cash flow problems for many companies and defaults will rise.  This is something that the US Fed is trying to avoid by terminating the QT but the reality in the bond market is showing otherwise.

The preferred US Fed yield curve inversion indicator is the 3-month yield vs 10-year month yield.  The 3m-10y yield spread is narrowing and this is not a good sign.  When this indicator starts to invert, it is showing that the recession is in the offing.

Indonesia's Garuda has cancelled Boeing 737-Max orders. More to come!

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/indonesia-s-garuda-cancelling-49-boeing-737-max-8-plane-orders-11368824

Garuda is right to cancel the unsafe plane orders.  However, Indonesia is not Boeing's biggest customer.  Boeing's biggest customer is China.

Boeing will be in a crash mode when China cancels 737-Max orders.
