QE FREE的後遺症       2012-09-17

  有認為美儲局量寬QE是在預期之內,筆者則認為這次QE是不在預期之內,或應具體講,是有三個舉措,在市場預期之外。

 

  1.QE無時限,故是QE FREE,不是QE3;

 

  2.QE要改善勞工市場,如果未見改善,會續出招;

 

  3.QE是不以經濟轉差時才出招,而是要催谷經濟復甦更大步。

 

  合起來,是,如果未能谷到經濟回升,而且是以滿意的速度回升,美儲局是不會手軟,換言之,美儲局今次是要:不達目的(經濟要快增長),誓不罷休。在這個達標過程中,美儲局是會不惜銀彈,但求立竿定要見影。

 

QE FREE先甜後苦

 

  美儲局會出幾多銀彈,由於這是無時限的QE FREE,初步估計會用上1.2萬至1.7萬億。再加上目前美儲局已有的二萬億至三萬億負債計,即是美儲局在數年後的負債會達四至五萬億。

 

  這個龐大的負債額會為環球金融市場帶來甚麼影響?一句話總括:先甜後苦,先喜後悲。

 

  香港金管局已立時出招,要加強樓按管制,以免誘發本港的樓市資產泡沫。

 

  智利財長Felipe Larrain表示,會使智利比索升值(因美元貶值),Larrain指出一眾的澳、紐、加、巴西、秘魯、哥倫比亞的貨幣亦一樣兌美元有升值,於2011年,智利央行已動用了120億美元的儲備去遏抑智利比索的升值,如再升不受控的話,智利經濟就會受損,因為智利貨太貴,賣不出。

 

  智利這個例子只說明,美儲局狂印美元時會產生:美元是我的,問題是你的,My dollar, your problem;結果是全世界的匯價起波動,世界經濟,尤其出入口貿易將十分困難。以日本出口商為例,日本出口商會揀以1美元兌80日圓,還是90日圓,還是70日圓來計報價,揀了不恰當的匯率時,一就是貨價太貴,接不到單,一就是貨價太平,賣出貨時,所賺不夠匯價蝕,結果?在未來數月,環球貿易將受制,這又產生甚麼後遺症?

 

  ‧製造實業不會好;

 

  ‧炒賣業務會因息平,錢多而興盛;

 

  ‧美儲局雖然欲借QE FREE去創造就業,但如果實業家怕匯價波動而不敢動,怎會請人?

 

  ‧美儲局買太多按揭抵押資產時,是有一定風險的(這個容後談)。

JP comment:
The new QE3 announced last night is very positive for equities. The problem of QE1 and QE2 was that every time
when the easing was approaching the end date, it induced a “risk off” environment for investors. This time is different ‐
there is no official end date for QE3 and the purchases will only end when the labor market sees significant
improvement.  Hence at that point of time, the withdrawal of QE should not have any negative effect on equities. It
appears that the Fed is now keen to see more asset reflation and hopefully the wealth effect could pave a more
sustainable path of economic recovery!

HSBC comment:
1. Lower yields on mortgage backed securities should lead to lower mortgage yields making housing more affordable and giving a boost to house 
prices and housing market activity. 

2. By pushing down yields on assets viewed as less risky, they put pressure on investors to move further out along the risk 
spectrum in a search for yield and return, for example by buying corporate bonds and equities, pushing up the value of these 
assets, and therefore spurring consumption through the resulting wealth effect.

3. Printing more money should also lead to a weaker US dollar, helping US exporters by making their goods cheaper abroad 
than they would otherwise be. 

4. Combined with the new ECB bond buying programme announced last week, the additional monetary stimulus 
announced by the world’s two major central banks in the past two weeks could also encourage investors into so called ‘real’ or 
physical assets as stores of value such as gold and other commodities and property. 

5. In the medium-term, the biggest impact could be in the foreign exchange markets. The open-ended commitment to more QE is 
aggressive.

Note the Nasdaq has drop below the 50 days average, for a alert.
And the 3Q earnings has begun for US markets

Alcoa (AA) shed 4% in big volume in the wake of its third-quarter earnings report late Tuesday. The aluminum giant posted big declines in adjusted EPS and revenue, but beat expectations. It also cut its forecast for growth in aluminum demand to 6% from 7%. 

Many blue chips will release their results accordingly
