Bottom-line: 블랙락, 골드만삭스, 아문디를 포함한 자산운용사 펀드매니저 134명을 대상으로 한 블룸버그의 설문에 따르면, 전쟁과 인플레이션, 중앙은행의 금리인상으로 금융위기 이후 최악의 손실을 기록 한 올해와 달리 내년 주식시장은 10%대 상승을 보일 것으로 응답자의 71%가 답함. 다만, 응답자의 48%와 45%가 각각 높은 인플레이션이나 심각한 경기침체를 우려 요소로 꼽았으며, 대부분 내년 초 새로운 저점을 갱신하고 하반기에 집중적으로 상승하여 10% 초반의 수익률을 기록할 것으로 보았음.

Some of the world's biggest investors predict that stocks will see low double-digit gains next year, which would bring relief after global equities suffered their worst loss since 2008. Amid recent optimism that inflation has peaked — and that the Federal Reserve could soon start to change its tone71% of respondents in a Bloomberg News survey expect equities to rise, versus 19% forecasting declines. For those seeing gains, the average response was a 10% return. The informal survey of 134 fund managers incorporates the views of major investors including BlackRock Inc., Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Amundi SA. It provides an insight into the big themes and hurdles they expect to be grappling with in 2023 after inflation, the war in Ukraine and hawkish central banks battered equity returns this year. The stock market could be derailed again by stubbornly high inflation or a deep recession, however. Those are the top worries for the upcoming year, cited by 48% and 45% of participants, respectively. Stocks could also reach new lows early in 2023, with many seeing gains skewed to the second half.

Bottom-line: Bonds as Recession-Proof 2023 Trade.

For a long time, one acronym reigned supreme on Wall Street — TINA, or “there is no alternative,” which was used to talk about the allure of stocks in a low interest-rate environment. But now, BARB — or “bonds are back” — is the new queen.
Implication: 중국이 바이러스 억제정책을 완화하기 시작하면서 COVID-19 바이러스의 위험성이 높지 않다는 공식 의견을 지속 강조하고 있음. 일반 독감과 동일한 0.1%의 사망률에 폐에 이르는 손상이 거의 없다는 발언이 이번에 추가되었음. 확진자 수가 줄어드는데 대해서는 그만큼 검사를 받는 사람이 적어 의심을 받지만, 정책의 변화 이후 계속적으로 위험이 높지 않음을 강조하면서 경제재개를 위한 발걸음을 이어가고 있음.

Chinese officials continued to downplay the risks of Covid-19 as restrictions are eased, with a top medical adviser saying the fatality rate from the omicron variant of the virus is in line with influenza. The death rate from omicron is around 0.1%, similar to the common flu, and the infection rarely reaches the lungs, Zhong Nanshan was quoted in an interview with state news agency Xinhua. Most people recover from the variant within seven to 10 days, he said. Zhong’s comments follow the government’s latest line on the coronavirus, which talks down the disease’s dangers as China moves toward exiting its Covid Zero policy. The nation reported 10,514 local infections for Saturday, more than 20% lower than Friday. Doubts have been raised about the accuracy of case numbers because fewer people are being tested.
US stocks surged after the the New York Fed released consumer survey data showing inflation expectations declined.
Bottom-line: HK Re-open

Hong Kong is scrapping some of its remaining Covid restrictions following China’s rapid shift away from the zero-tolerance approach. The government will remove a ban on international arrivals going to bars or eating at restaurants, and stop requiring people to use a health app to enter venues, Chief Executive John Lee said at a press conference Tuesday. He didn’t mention whether the government will retain the mask mandate.

Bottom-line: 중앙은행이 내년 금리인상 폭을 25bp로 하는데 자신감을 줄 수 있는 발표가 되었음.

This should give Powell some confidence tomorrow if he had planned on signaling a further step down in the magnitude of rate hikes to 25 basis points in February, after the 50 basis points that’s expected on Wednesday.
Bottom-line: 중앙은행의 통화정책이 인플레이션을 통제하고 있다는 의미있는 첫 신호로 해석함.

Lindsay Rosner, multisector portfolio manager at PGIM Fixed Income, says this was an “important piece of the story of rate hikes working.” She calls it the “first really meaningful beat.
Bottom-line: 통화정책회의에서 인플레이션에 대한 실질적인 증거를 찾고 있다고 발언했는데, 2개월 연속 하락이 그에 충분한지 알 수 없지만, 적어도 이에 압박을 받을 것임.

Powell noted at the end of November that he’s looking for “substantially more evidence” to be certain that inflation is actually declining. I don’t know if this second straight month of declines will be enough to meet that standard, but he’ll surely be pressed on that at the briefing.
Used cars were finally a negative contributor to annual inflation growth!
