Aktuelle Frage im Economics Forum:
"Government Shutdown, Debt Ceiling, mögliches Tapering und höhere Renditen auf Staatsanleihen lenkten den Fokus der Investoren auf die US Anleihenmärkte. Wie ist Ihre aktuelle Einschätzung der makroökonomischen Lage in den USA und welche Faktoren sollten Investoren genau beobachten?“
Stuart Thomson, Chief Market Economist, Ignis Asset Management (07.10.2013):
"History tells us that recoveries from deep financial crises tend to be weak and hesitant. Rising rates and recurrences of the European sovereign debt crises may give rise to concerns, but unless the liquidity trap re-opens amongst the major industrialised economies the trend should continue to be towards higher real forward interest rates.
We expect the Federal Reserve to start tapering before the end of the year and conclude in the spring of 2014. Over the next six months, the US and global economy will benefit from the lagged impact of past stimulus derived from negative real forward interest rates. Thereafter, we believe that there is a risk that the lagged impact of higher real yields will cause a temporary hiatus in the global economy over late spring/early summer 2014. We are calling this risk a false dusk rather than a false dawn. The distinguishing feature of a false dusk rather than a false dawn is that the period of growth between dips is longer."
