Fundamental analysis is the interpretation of statistical reports and economic indicators. Things like changes in interest rates, employment reports, and the latest inflation indicators all fall into the realm of fundamental analysis.
This document discusses the impact of loose global monetary policy on economic growth and equity markets since the 2008 financial crisis. Central banks around the world expanded their balance sheets significantly through measures like quantitative easing to stimulate their economies. This monetary expansion appears highly correlated with rising asset prices and market performance. However, as interest rates are expected to rise, the effects of tightening monetary policy on market volatility and asset price appreciation require careful portfolio positioning.
Below please find a link to our monthly market perspective piece for February. This month, with the prospect for potential policy changes ahead, we take a deeper dive into the concept of inflation and what it means to investors.
This document discusses the debate between active and passive approaches to macroeconomic policymaking. The active approach views the economy as unstable and in need of discretionary fiscal and monetary policy to reduce costs like unemployment after shocks. The passive approach sees the economy as stable enough for market forces to correct imbalances over time without intervention. The document outlines arguments for both approaches and considers issues like lags in policy, rational expectations, credibility of policymakers, and debates around the Phillips curve relationship between inflation and unemployment.

A review of Q4 2015 corporate earnings reveals a significant slowdown in revenue and earnings growth. While these developments have been affected by the sharp decline in commodity prices,they may reveal early signs of recessionary conditions.
The document discusses how growing acceptance of aggressive fiscal policy could support gold prices over the long term. It notes that government deficits have increased substantially during the pandemic, distributing funds more widely than in previous crises. This may boost inflation and set a precedent for larger responses that increase debt. While rising bond yields recently pressured gold, real yields remain low and inflation expectations are up, suggesting the Fed may act to curb rates, supporting gold. The document analyzes factors that could cause rates and gold prices to rise or fall in the near term.
Us economy - Is the recovery for real???radhikaburman
The document discusses concerns about the strength and sustainability of the U.S. economic recovery. While GDP grew in Q1 2013, other indicators show weakness in manufacturing, production, and the labor market. Job growth has been concentrated in low-wage industries, real disposable income growth is slow, and consumer sentiment has declined. The length of the recovery and signs of stress suggest the risk of a contraction is not inconceivable. Continued disinflation may keep pressure on the Fed to maintain accommodation through quantitative easing.

If you ever wonder how the interest rates, capital flow and foreign exchange rates are linked, review this slide for a quick glimpse of how these variables work.
The IMF has based much of it policies on a theoretical framework developed by Polak, Mundell, and Fleming over fifty years ago. Their models were based on a set of assumptions that a do not reflect the economic realities in the developing countries. The IMF’s insistence on demand management policies created policy “blind spots” that prevented it’s acknowledgment of causes of macroeconomic imbalances other than government fiscal mismanagement. There has been some movement toward reform by the Fund and better alignment with its sister organization, the World Bank. Just as the East Asian crisis momentum for change, recent events seem to have created a significant shift in the thinking of the Fund’s staff and policy analyst. The recent global crisis has caused the Fund to acknowledge the limits of monetary policy and bring fiscal policy “center stage” as an important countercyclical tool. In short, the crisis has “exposed flaws in the pre-crisis policy framework” [Carlos E. Guice, Sr.]
Monthly Market Perspective - June 2016David Berger
The drivers of short-term market moves can be vastly different from those which underpin the cycles of longer-term market direction. This month we examine a variety of these factors.
This document summarizes a market perspective report from July 2016. It discusses how central banks have driven interest rates to record lows and even negative levels in some countries in an attempt to stimulate economic growth. However, global GDP growth remains sluggish despite enormous monetary stimulus efforts. As a result, government debt levels have increased substantially. The long-term implications of prolonged low and negative interest rates on economies and financial markets remains uncertain.
The document outlines various measures that can be used to control inflation in an economy. It discusses monetary measures such as credit control through tools like bank rate policy, open market operations, and variable reserve ratios. Fiscal measures for controlling inflation include reducing unnecessary government expenditure, increasing direct taxes, decreasing indirect taxes, and running surplus budgets. Trade measures involve import and export controls. Administrative measures for price control include wage and price controls as well as rationing of scarce goods.
The document discusses contrarian investing and provides examples from history. It notes that investors often make the mistake of piling into popular trades, as seen during the tech bubble, while fortunes have been made by remaining calm during crises. Contrarian investing involves taking positions that are opposite the prevailing sentiment. The document examines the tech bubble crash as an example of when contrarian positions were successful. It also identifies some potential contrarian opportunities today in international stocks and high-yielding securities due to possible overvaluations.
The central bank uses monetary policy tools like adjusting interest rates and money supply to achieve macroeconomic stability goals like price stability, economic growth, and full employment. It aims to regulate inflation and the money supply through tools like setting bank rates, open market operations, and cash reserve requirements for commercial banks. Both quantitative and qualitative tools are used to influence lending behavior and control the money supply. The central bank plays a critical role in the economy and financial system.
Following an impressive bounce back from February lows, the durability of the current bull market remains suspect. The benefits of the recent rally appear limited to the large cap, defensive sectors of the market. In prior market cycles, this has portended that the latter stages of a bull market are fast approaching and as such, caution is warranted.
Is japan's ecomomy facing another lost decade or is it ready to boomvilord
The document discusses whether Japan's economy is facing another "lost decade" of weak growth or if it is poised to boom. While Japan's economy has grown weakly for decades and recently contracted further, the Bank of Japan has now committed to a 1% inflation target and other innovative measures that could lead to real GDP growth. If a surge in growth occurs, it would boost Japanese stocks and the global economy. However, time will tell if Japan is truly ready to boom given its history of economic struggles.
This document discusses stabilization policy and the ability of governments to reduce business fluctuations through fiscal and monetary policy. It covers topics such as:
- How monetary policy can be implemented through changing money supply or interest rates, and how fiscal policy can be implemented through changing government spending or taxes.
- Objections to the effectiveness of fiscal stabilization policy, including the automatic stabilizer effect, Ricardian equivalence principle, and crowding out effect.
- The inflation-output tradeoff described by the Phillips curve and how expansionary policies can increase inflation in the long run.
- How inflation expectations impact the Phillips curve and the ability of governments to permanently affect unemployment through demand policies alone.
- The importance of
The document provides an overview of the market perspective in September 2017. It notes that while the markets have exhibited little volatility since the 2016 election, corrections of over 5% are actually quite common within a given year. The document also discusses factors like leading economic indicators and the current economic expansion that suggest a recession may not be imminent. It concludes by stating that most economists believe economic conditions remain reasonable, though ongoing monitoring of differences between corrections and bear markets is warranted.
Monetary policy is used by central banks to control the supply of money and regulate credit in order to promote economic growth and stability. There are two types: expansionary policy aims to reduce unemployment by increasing the money supply during recessions, while contractionary policy aims to reduce inflation by decreasing the money supply during expansions. The tools for changing the money supply include open market operations, interest rates, and reserve ratios.
The document discusses the business cycle, which consists of periodic expansions and contractions in economic activity over time. It describes the four phases of the business cycle: expansion, peak, recession, and trough. Government uses fiscal and monetary policy tools to try to stabilize the economy during fluctuations. The business cycle affects many countries as their economies are linked through trade. While the cycle causes instability, it is an inherent part of economies with private property and competition.
This document summarizes the current market environment of historically low interest rates driving high dividend payouts by companies that are likely unsustainable. Specifically, it notes that (1) interest rates being near historic lows have forced investors to seek yield elsewhere, (2) dividend-paying stocks now look very expensive based on metrics like price-to-earnings ratios, and (3) current levels of corporate payouts through dividends and stock buybacks exceeding earnings are unlikely to continue amid late-stage economic cycles with limited earnings growth.
Below please find a link to our monthly market perspective piece for December. This month we explore a variety of factors potentially driving markets and evaluate the risks and rewards lying beneath the surface.
The document provides an overview of the business cycle including its phases, causes, and conclusion. It discusses the business cycle in terms of fluctuations in economic activity and gross domestic product. The phases include expansion/growth, peak, recession, and trough/depression. Causes include factors like consumption, business investment, government activity, inventions, and wars. In conclusion, the business cycle refers to regular fluctuations in economic indicators that occur in a predictable pattern in capitalist societies.
The document discusses the roles and monetary policy of the State Bank of Vietnam. It outlines the bank's main roles as promoting monetary stability, supervising financial institutions, and providing banking facilities. It also discusses the bank's goals of maintaining external and internal balance through managing foreign exchange rates and keeping inflation within a target band. The bank uses open market operations and manages interest rates and money supply to influence economic activity and prices.
Gold may rise as market euphoria about economic recovery ends. While strong GDP growth is expected in the short term due to base effects and stimulus, optimism may be exaggerated, unemployment remains elevated, and risks remain from virus variants. Inflation is already above the Fed's 2% target according to official data, and likely even higher using alternative measures, but the Fed says price increases will be temporary. However, inflation could be more persistent given money supply increases, government spending, and pent-up demand as the economy reopens. Higher inflation would be bullish for gold as an inflation hedge.
The document examines several long-held stock market anomalies and legends, such as "sell in May and go away" and the January effect. While the data behind these anomalies seems compelling initially, the document notes that many do not hold up over the long-term or in recent years. For example, a portfolio reflecting "sell in May and go away" did not consistently outperform a simple buy-and-hold strategy. The January effect and January barometer also have not predicted market performance reliably in recent years. The conclusion is that investors should stay invested and consider multiple data sources and perspectives rather than relying on isolated anomalies.

The document summarizes the play "Trifles" by Susan Glaspell. It describes how the female characters Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters discover a dead canary with its neck wrung while searching the house of a woman named Minnie who is accused of killing her husband. This discovery implies that Minnie's husband killed the canary, representing his control over his wife. Though the men dismiss women's concerns as "trifles", Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters decide not to tell the men about this important clue, resolving to keep this trifle to themselves.
Comparison and contrast of macbeth and lady macbethIllyana Nazri
The document compares and contrasts the characters of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth from Shakespeare's play. Both are ambitious and cruel, motivated by greed for power and royalty. They think alike in their desire to become king and queen. However, Lady Macbeth is more confident in the witches' prophecies, while Macbeth is suspicious. Also, while Macbeth grows stronger in his ambition, Lady Macbeth grows weaker mentally. Their deaths also differ, with Lady Macbeth committing suicide and Macbeth being killed in battle.
This document discusses rules for forming new words through derivational suffixes and prefixes in English. It explains that derivational suffixes usually change the word class and meaning of the base word, while prefixes typically do not change word class but often confer a negative meaning. Several examples of each are provided. The document then outlines spelling rules for determining whether letters like 'e' and 'y' are dropped or changed when suffixes are added. It notes exceptions to each rule and provides illustrative word examples.
The document analyzes the symbolism of the canary bird in the play Trifles by Susan Glaspell. The canary represents Mrs. Wright and her freedom within her marriage. Its death symbolizes the loss of Mrs. Wright's livelihood and sanity. Killing the bird drove Mrs. Wright to lose her mind and murder her abusive husband, as it was the last straw that caused her emotional damage and breakdown. The document explores how the canary acted as a symbol of Mrs. Wright's happiness and well-being within her oppressive marriage, and its death ultimately led to the death of her husband at her hands.
This document provides spelling rules for the '-ing' form, past form, and present simple third person form of verbs in English.
[1] For '-ing' form, it discusses doubling consonants, dropping vowels, and changing 'ie' to 'y'. [2] For past form, it covers regular verbs with 'ed', dropping 'y' and adding 'i+ed', and doubling final consonants. [3] For third person present simple, it explains adding 'es' or 's' after the verb.

Stages of children development and the related theoriesIllyana Nazri
Children develop language skills in stages from infancy through adolescence according to various theories. In infancy, children progress from crying to babbling to first words according to behaviorist, nativist, and interactionist theories. In early childhood, vocabulary and grammar advance through techniques like fast mapping words and learning rules. By preschool, children converse effectively using culturally appropriate language. In adolescence, oral and written language continue maturing through skills like interpreting language in context.
Materials selection and design considerationRafael Manzano
The document discusses key considerations for materials selection and design, including price and availability of materials, and how to select materials based on optimal performance for different applications. It provides examples of selecting materials for shafts under torsion, bars under tension, and plates under bending. Graphs and equations are presented for selecting strong yet light materials for tension, torsion, and bending members by maximizing a performance index involving strength and density. Data from these graphs indicate ceramics and cermets provide the best performance for strong torsion members, while polymers perform best for light tension members.

Abstract. Novelty is an inherent part of innovations and discoveries. Such processes may be considered as the appearance of new ideas or as the emergence of atypical connections between existing ones. The importance of such connections hints for investigation of innovations through network or graph representation in the space of ideas. In such representation, a graph node corresponds to the relevant notion (idea), whereas an edge between two nodes means that the corresponding notions have been used in a common context. The question addressed in this research is the possibility to identify the edges between existing concepts where the innovations may emerge. To this end, a well-documented scientific knowledge landscape has been used. Namely, we downloaded 1.2M arXiv.org manuscripts dated starting from April 2007 and until September 2019; and extracted relevant concepts for them using ScienceWISE.info platform. Combining approaches developed in complex networks science and graph embedding the predictability of edges (links) on the scientific knowledge landscape where the innovations may appear is investigated. We argue that the conclusions drawn from this analysis may be used not only to the scientific knowledge analysis but are rather generic and may be applied to any domain that involves creativity within.

Highlights
• As last newsletter predicted, manufacturing recovery has begun.
• Yet, exports will continue to stay depressed, SMEs will take a while to feel the positive swing.
• Prospects for emerging economies brighten, capital flows in.
• Inflows are notoriously fickle, so watch out for any turnaround if political factors disappoint.
India: Kal, aaj aur kal
The numbers are coming in clearer every month as Indian manufacturing recovers, thanks to strong domestic demand, due in large part to money from the pay commission, NREGS, high support prices for agri products last year etc. The fiscal stimulus began much before the global crisis hit India. We are not in anyway close to double digit growth, but the slump does seem to be over. Meanwhile, the stock market believes that all is well with the world, which isn’t true, of course, and if the election outcome disappoints in a fractured mandate, expect a rude shock once again.
