| Trump about economic policies |
Thursday, November 17, 2016 wecbcast by Caroline Miller, BCA Research. She made following points:
- Infrastructure programm and tax cuts will increase udget deficit
- Tax reduction will not give a lot of bang on the buck compared to government spending programs regarding GDP growth
- Fed pressured by Trump policy to increase rates, leads to USD strength
- Europe needs 3 to 4 years to return to growth, Europe will not match rate increase
- Japan has still low inflation
- China is exporting structural deflation (overcapacity)
- Dollar strength, Trump protectionism will hurt emerging Asia most
- High corporate debt level in emerging markets
- US Equity: no visibility of corporate earnings growth, wild cards of Trump appointees
- US protectionism and Backlash of US is a threat to growth
- US deficit will steepen yield curve
- Trump tax program will benefit small caps not multinationals
Investment recommendations:
- Underweight duration US bonds, preference of TIPS
- Underweight peripheral european bonds
- Overweight USD
- Overweight pharma, staples (defensive stocks)
- Underweight tech, industrials and commodities (cyclical stocks)
- Underweight US vs. European equities: USD will hamper US profits. Profits margin are very high in the US historically and compared to Europe. They can't grow on that level
I really think that we have entered a new economic environment in the US.
