US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

Crude: London Brent crude oil prices rose 5.10% in July to close at $43.25 per
barrel on 31th day of the month vis-à-vis $41.15 per barrel on June 30, 2020 on
the International Petroleum Exchange (IPE). Oil prices remained higher through
most of the month mainly on demand growth hopes following stimulus measures
announced by major countries. Falling supply from the US and upbeat economic
data from the US and China also aided the rally. However, increasing coronavirus
cases globally and reports of a possible return of Libyan oil production capped the
rally.
Inflation: CPI inflation in June 2020 was 6.09% on-year, almost touching the upper
end of the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) target band of 2-6%.
Currency: The rupee ended higher against the US dollar, with the exchange rate
settling at Rs 74.80 per dollar on July 31 as against Rs 75.50 per dollar on June

FIXED INCOME UPDATE
Fixed Income Update
2. The short end of the yield curve collapsed with T-bill and CD yields remaining below the repo given excess system liquidity. The 10 year Government
bond ended the month at 5.83% down by 5bps from the previous month.
RBI has been aggressively buying USD to support INR and this led to higher system liquidity which led to increased steepness of the yield curve RBI
has bought USD ~35 billion of forex, from April to date.. RBI is keen on keeping interest rates at record lows and keeping a check on the term
premium to ensure better transmission of rates which in-turn should support in the revival of the economy. The heavy infusion of liquidity is driving
down yields to lows at the short end and is also now getting filtered into yields at the longer end of the curve.
Since June, government bond yields have largely been stable due to fiscal challenges while the credit spreads have dropped significantly. Inflation
has stayed above RBI’s comfort zone mainly due to supply disruption, broad economic indicators continue to show weakness from IIP to vehicle sales
to imports and exports. The monsoons have been above normal across the country and rural indicators such as tractor sales and agri input sales have
shown robust growth indicating that the rural economy can pull up GDP growth despite large scale disruption to industrial activity. The central bank
will focus on expected bad loans once moratorium ends and this may be in the form of sops to borrowers, loan restructuring or formation of a bad
bank.
The long end of the yield curve remains elevated with term premium continue to remain stretched, 364 Day T-Bill spread over 10 Year G-Sec remains
above 200bps clearly highlighting that the risk averseness is still prevalent . The RBI had conducted operation twist to keep rates at the longer end of
the curve in check, which remain elevated around fiscal concerns. On the corporate bond space, credit premium remains high, good quality spread
assets (AA corporate bond) continue to provide better carry over AAA. Flight to safety has pulled the AAA yields closer to ~5%. Clearly, based on the
above scenario i.e. high term premium and favorable credit spread , we have increased duration across our portfolios to benefit from higher term
premium and to benefit from capital appreciation and we have also added spread assets (AA Corporate bond) in our portfolios to benefit better
accrual income. Our recommendation remains to add duration and add spread asset to the portfolio to aim to benefit from a total return strategy.

Finally, these are interesting times, we are about to see one of the worst growth in decades but interest rates still remains higher than lows seen
during other crisis. We are witnessing 1 month CD collapsing below repo but some of the good quality AA rated corporate bonds still trades at
elevated yields. Even post RBI aggressive rate cuts, we are seeing yield curve which is one of the steepest seen in India’s history.
We remain positive on the bond markets. A good strategy may be to create a portfolio with maturity in the range of 2-5 years along with
accumulating spread assets to give better carry to the portfolio. Having said that, we remain cognizant of managing the liquidity, concentration, credit
and duration in our accrual portfolios to provide investor with better risk adjusted returns. We recommend investors with an appetite for volatility to
invest in Dynamic Duration Scheme.
Debt Valuation Index considers WPI, CPI, Sensex YEAR-ON-YEAR returns, Gold YEAR-ON-YEAR returns and Real estate YEAR-ON-YEAR returns over G-Sec yield, Current Account Balance and Crude Oil Movement for
calculation.
