Powell: 긴축적인 통화정책이 경제에 미치는 영향이 시차를 가지기 때문에 이 효과를 지켜볼 것이라 함.
Tightening policy has delayed effects, so central bank will be watching to see those effects come into play.

Powell: 경제지표를 통해 중앙은행이 과도한 긴축정책을 시행하고 있다는 것은 없으며, 할 일이 더 남았을 뿐이라 함.
Nothing about the data suggests to me that we’ve tightened too much. more work to do.

Powell & Warren: 워런의 경우 약 200만명이 일자리를 통화긴축 때문에 상실할 것이라 비난했고, 파월 의장은 인플레이션에 모두가 피해를 입었고 이를 해결하기 위해 노력 중이라 답함. 또한 인플레이션을 진압하는 이 경로를 중단한다고 노동자들이 나아질 것인지 반문함.
Warren says about 2 million people will lose their jobs as a result of the Fed’s anticipated monetary tightening. She asks Powell how to explain to them they must lose their jobs.
Powell says he would explain that inflation is extremely high and hurting everyone. Powell says the Fed is doing its job to address that damage. Powell asks Warren if working people will be better off if they were to stop their inflation-fighting campaign.
Warren said the Fed “has a terrible track record” of mitigating job losses once they start. Powell will tip the economy over a cliff and millions will lose their jobs.

Powell: 인플레이션을 통제하기 위해 반드시 실업률이 엄청나게 증가해야 한다고 생각하지 않는다 함.
“We actually don’t think we need to see a sharp or an enormous increase.” in unemployment in order to get inflation under control, Powell says.

Powell: 중립금리의 수준은 바이러스 대확산과 기타 충격 이전에 이미 많이내려 온 상태며, 이 때문에 실업률이 심각할 정도로 증가할 필요는 없다고 답변함.
Powell says the “neutral rate” dropped a lot before the pandemic and other shocks. “We don’t think we need a significant increase in unemployment,” he adds, and says they aren’t aiming for one, but he repeats that they do see need for some softening in labor markets.

Market Reaction: 향후 발표 될 3~4개의 경제지표가 3월 금리 결정에 중요하단 말에 정해진 것은 아직 없다고 판단하며 안도함.

Bottom-line: 주식시장이 지속적으로 타격을 받음에 따라 많은 투자자들이 회사채 시장으로 숨어들고 있음. EPFR에 따르면, 2017년 집계를 시작한 이후 최고 규모의 자금인 700억 달러가 투자등급 회사채 펀드에 유입되었음. 노무라증권의 애널리스트는 매우 짧은 만기의 단기채권이나 투자등급 회사채에 투자해 편히 잠을 잘 수 있는 시대에, 수 많은 데이터에 의해 변동을 겪는 주식에 몰두하겠냐고 반문했음. 그가 알기로 주식에 투자하는 펀드 매니저조차 현재 펀드의 25%~50% 비중을 이와 같은 우량 회사채에 투자해놓고 있는 경우도 있다 함. 이처럼 주식에 비우호적인 환경이 지속되자 단기 채권이나 투자등급 회사채를 대안으로 권유하는 경우가 점점 늘어나고 있음.
As stock markets take another pummeling, more traders are hiding out in credit markets. They’re finding refuge in top-quality bonds, especially short-term securities. So far this year, global investment-grade credit funds have absorbed almost $70 billion, making it the biggest inflow for this part of the year since EPFR Global started tracking the data in 2017. “Why would you subject yourself to this very data dependent, binary, weekly equity environment with rates repricing, when you can sleep at night sitting in Treasury bills or short-duration investment-grade credit,” said Charlie McElligott, cross-asset macro strategist at Nomura Securities International. He offered his own anecdotal evidence, saying he knows equity fund managers that have stocked their portfolios with between 25% and 50% of short-term bonds from blue-chip companies. Against a backdrop of high inflation and a Federal Reserve determined to keep raising rates, asset allocators face the challenge of picking the least-bad option. Stocks have taken a beating recently, bond prices are under pressure from Jerome Powell’s hawkish warnings and the value of cash is being eroded. “In the near-term, cash and investment-grade credit are the best way to be positioned,” said Thomas Hempell, head of macro and market research at Generali Investments. “Although it will not be a stellar performance.”

Bottom-line: 롤렉스, 파텍필립, 오데마피게로 대표되는 명품 시계의 연환산 투자수익률은 5년 간 20%에 달하며, 이는 동 기간 S&P 500 지수의 연환산 수익률 8%를 뛰어넘음. 독립 시계 브랜드들의 연환산 수익률 또한 15%에 달하며, 3대 브랜드의 경우 상징적인 롤렉스 데이토나, 파텍 노틸러스, 오데마피게 로얄 오크의 거래 가격이 2022년 1분기 이후 1/3 하락한 것을 반영했음. 물론, 2012년 이후 현재까지로 연환산 수익률을 계산하면 주식과 명품 시계는 각각 12%, 7%로 주식에 투자했을 때 수익률이 더 우세함. 이처럼 명품 시계의 투자수익률이 월등한 까닭에 와인, 예술품, 채권과 주식에 대한 대안투자로 강조하기도 함.
Prices for Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet watches appreciated by an average of 20% a year since mid-2018, outpacing the S&P 500 Index, as values for pre-owned luxury timepieces surged, a new report shows. The S&P 500 stock index averaged annual returns of 8% from August 2018 to January 2023 while a basket of pre-owned watch models from top Swiss brands grew at more than twice the pace, the report from Boston Consulting Group Inc. and secondary market dealer WatchBox said. That’s despite prices of some pre-owned models, including Rolex Daytonas, Patek Nautilus and AP Royal Oaks, declining by as much as a third since the market peaked in the first quarter of 2022. Prices for a basket of so-called independent brand watches including FP Journe, H. Moser & Cie and De Bethune — a small Swiss producer which is majority owned by WatchBox — returned 15% over the same period. The report touts luxury watches as an alternative asset class to stocks, bonds, art and wine. Over a longer period, stocks outperformed watches as an investment asset. The S&P 500 had a compound annual growth rate of 12% between 2012 and 2022, while Rolex, Patek and AP watches averaged 7%.
