U.S. ECONOMY RECOVERY – HOPE
CONVICTION or MIRAGE!!!!!
Global Context –
Emerging markets are in turmoil, Europe is spiralling deeper
into recession and finance ministers in the region are
scrambling to fix the seemingly never ending banking crisis.
Turkey is the new hotbed of civil unrest, and central banks and
sovereign nations are providing extreme monetary policy
accommodation and engaging in currency wars to maintain
some sense of stabilization.
The World Bank reduced its global economic forecast to
2.2 percent in 2013 – lower than the 2.3 percent
performance in 2012.
It was just a matter of time before the conditions started to break
down.
Blistering gains in the equity indexes to record highs amid a
sluggish economic performance are more driven by hope,
liquidity arbitrage rather than conviction.
Look at the bifurcation between the CRB index and the S&P 500
CRB index and the S&P 500; relationship between the
market and economy broke down in December of last
year, and it now looks as if the S&P will rejoin the
commodity benchmark in its tailspin.
US GDP advanced 2.4% Q1 compared
to 0.6% last year ….. But…
 The ISM's PMI fell to 49 in May from 50.7 in April, the first
sub-50 reading in the barometer since November (49.9)
and the lowest level since Jun 2009 (45.8) when the U.S.
economy was emerging from depression.
 The key subcomponents of New Orders and Production fell
to 48.8 and 48.6 respectively – indicating a contraction in
business conditions.
 The difference between the New Orders Index (a proxy for
future demand) and the level of existing inventories
(expectations by businesses of future demand) was -0.2 in
May. Historically a negative reading has been a recession
indicator.
The headline GDP numbers does not
reveal the underlying stress in the real
economy…..
 The other ISM indicator is the Price Index, which slipped
below 50 to 49.5 in May. Below-50 readings are always
experienced during recessions. The inability of
businesses to raise prices in a challenging economic
environment, in combination with a sub-50 reading in the
headline PMI and a negative New Orders less
Inventories index suggests a notable curtailment in
economic growth.
 Industrial production has peaked (8.5 percent) in mid-
2010 to 1.95 percent today (another indicator that has
fallen below that magical 2.0 percent recession level),
and manufacturers are slashing jobs again.
 Electricity output has fallen in each of the last five weeks
(on a year-over-year basis), and shipments of
nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft plunged 1.5
percent in April
The average length of the last ten expansions is 60.5
months, and we are currently 47 months into the most
recent recovery. It isn't inconceivable that the economy
contracts at this point, especially since it has been
operating at a pace that has historically suggested
recession.
Now lets look at the labour market – Fed’s
favorite metric in QE and interest rate
stance…
 To date, the labour market recovery has been
unimpressive. The number of Americans on nonfarm
payrolls totalled 135 million in April, the same level as in
late 2005. On this basis one can claim the U.S. has "turned
Japanese" with a near lost decade of job creation.
 It looks like 96,300 of the 175,000 new nonfarm jobs
created last month were in very low wage industries (retail,
27,000), temporary, (25,600), leisure and hospitality
(43,000). The industries with the two lowest hourly wages
are leisure and hospitality ($11.76) and retail ($13.92).
 It isn’t clear how the world’s largest economy gets
back on its feet with so many receiving such low
incomes.
And now to the main driver of real economy
– Real Disposable Personal income
Key Facts regarding the Real disposable personal
Income ..
 Real disposable personal incomes – the amount that
consumers have to spend once adjusted for inflation and
taxes – increased 0.1 percent in April
 The amount of spending that Americans facilitated with
that lowly income inched up 0.1 percent.
 Real disposable personal incomes had a history of
advancing at 3.75 percent, which would boost
spending by a similarly robust pace. As long as
income growth is staid as it is, the economy will
continue to spin its wheels in a sideways movement,
and subsequently keep a lid on job creation.
Grab some food stamps…they don’t cost nothing.
According to the USDA, there are more than 47 million Americans on the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known as
food stamps. Since the end of the depression in June 2009, food stamp
assistance has accelerated by 30.8 percent, dwarfing job creation of 3.8
percent during the same period.
Looking ahead - The Bloomberg Orange Book
Sentiment Index has been below 50 (a reading of
contraction) for eighteen consecutive weeks.
The great QE – Will the Fed pull the
trigger?
 Central banks all over the world are singing the song of
unconventional monetary policy. Now we are all lead to believe
that the Bank of Japan’s most recent announcement to adopt
a $1.4 trillion quantitative easing program will be the magical
elixir to its multi-decade ailments.
 QE in its various forms in Europe / Japan may inflate asset
classes as it gives the i-bankers license to do unbridled
arbitrage but ..
 Wall street and main street are not the same!!!
 As long as there is disinflation or deflation in average
hourly earnings, the Fed should be expected to its foot on
the accelerator, and refrain from tapering in the near
term.
Thanks for your time!!

Us economy - Is the recovery for real???

  • 1. “There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark.” Pink Floyd U.S. ECONOMY RECOVERY – HOPE CONVICTION or MIRAGE!!!!!
  • 2. Global Context – Emerging markets are in turmoil, Europe is spiralling deeper into recession and finance ministers in the region are scrambling to fix the seemingly never ending banking crisis. Turkey is the new hotbed of civil unrest, and central banks and sovereign nations are providing extreme monetary policy accommodation and engaging in currency wars to maintain some sense of stabilization. The World Bank reduced its global economic forecast to 2.2 percent in 2013 – lower than the 2.3 percent performance in 2012. It was just a matter of time before the conditions started to break down. Blistering gains in the equity indexes to record highs amid a sluggish economic performance are more driven by hope, liquidity arbitrage rather than conviction. Look at the bifurcation between the CRB index and the S&P 500
  • 3. CRB index and the S&P 500; relationship between the market and economy broke down in December of last year, and it now looks as if the S&P will rejoin the commodity benchmark in its tailspin.
  • 4. US GDP advanced 2.4% Q1 compared to 0.6% last year ….. But…  The ISM's PMI fell to 49 in May from 50.7 in April, the first sub-50 reading in the barometer since November (49.9) and the lowest level since Jun 2009 (45.8) when the U.S. economy was emerging from depression.  The key subcomponents of New Orders and Production fell to 48.8 and 48.6 respectively – indicating a contraction in business conditions.  The difference between the New Orders Index (a proxy for future demand) and the level of existing inventories (expectations by businesses of future demand) was -0.2 in May. Historically a negative reading has been a recession indicator.
  • 5. The headline GDP numbers does not reveal the underlying stress in the real economy…..  The other ISM indicator is the Price Index, which slipped below 50 to 49.5 in May. Below-50 readings are always experienced during recessions. The inability of businesses to raise prices in a challenging economic environment, in combination with a sub-50 reading in the headline PMI and a negative New Orders less Inventories index suggests a notable curtailment in economic growth.  Industrial production has peaked (8.5 percent) in mid- 2010 to 1.95 percent today (another indicator that has fallen below that magical 2.0 percent recession level), and manufacturers are slashing jobs again.  Electricity output has fallen in each of the last five weeks (on a year-over-year basis), and shipments of nondefense capital goods excluding aircraft plunged 1.5 percent in April
  • 6. The average length of the last ten expansions is 60.5 months, and we are currently 47 months into the most recent recovery. It isn't inconceivable that the economy contracts at this point, especially since it has been operating at a pace that has historically suggested recession.
  • 7. Now lets look at the labour market – Fed’s favorite metric in QE and interest rate stance…  To date, the labour market recovery has been unimpressive. The number of Americans on nonfarm payrolls totalled 135 million in April, the same level as in late 2005. On this basis one can claim the U.S. has "turned Japanese" with a near lost decade of job creation.  It looks like 96,300 of the 175,000 new nonfarm jobs created last month were in very low wage industries (retail, 27,000), temporary, (25,600), leisure and hospitality (43,000). The industries with the two lowest hourly wages are leisure and hospitality ($11.76) and retail ($13.92).  It isn’t clear how the world’s largest economy gets back on its feet with so many receiving such low incomes.
  • 8. And now to the main driver of real economy – Real Disposable Personal income
  • 9. Key Facts regarding the Real disposable personal Income ..  Real disposable personal incomes – the amount that consumers have to spend once adjusted for inflation and taxes – increased 0.1 percent in April  The amount of spending that Americans facilitated with that lowly income inched up 0.1 percent.  Real disposable personal incomes had a history of advancing at 3.75 percent, which would boost spending by a similarly robust pace. As long as income growth is staid as it is, the economy will continue to spin its wheels in a sideways movement, and subsequently keep a lid on job creation.
  • 10. Grab some food stamps…they don’t cost nothing. According to the USDA, there are more than 47 million Americans on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, more commonly known as food stamps. Since the end of the depression in June 2009, food stamp assistance has accelerated by 30.8 percent, dwarfing job creation of 3.8 percent during the same period.
  • 11. Looking ahead - The Bloomberg Orange Book Sentiment Index has been below 50 (a reading of contraction) for eighteen consecutive weeks.
  • 12. The great QE – Will the Fed pull the trigger?  Central banks all over the world are singing the song of unconventional monetary policy. Now we are all lead to believe that the Bank of Japan’s most recent announcement to adopt a $1.4 trillion quantitative easing program will be the magical elixir to its multi-decade ailments.  QE in its various forms in Europe / Japan may inflate asset classes as it gives the i-bankers license to do unbridled arbitrage but ..  Wall street and main street are not the same!!!  As long as there is disinflation or deflation in average hourly earnings, the Fed should be expected to its foot on the accelerator, and refrain from tapering in the near term.
