Aquila Flash US infrastructure package

placeholder

The rise in interest rates at the long end of the yield curve has come to a halt for the time being. This probably reflects the view that the Biden Administration’s infrastructure package will be financed primarily through tax increases. If implemented, the Administration’s plans would significantly worsen the international position of the US from a tax competition perspective. The good sentiment indicators in the US are due to booming stock markets. Never before have the real economy and stock markets been as linked as they are today.

Update February 2021

placeholder

Long-term interest rates have risen sharply in recent weeks. There are 3 reasons for this: 1. due to the strongly rising government deficits, more and more bonds have to be placed with investors 2. the prospect of an end to the quarantine measures and a strong economic upswing reduce the demand for government bonds 3. rising inflation expectations. Due to the enormous debt and highly valued equities and real estate, the rise in interest rates must be slowed down. We expect the FED to take further measures soon.

February 2021

Large government rescue packages are straining the capacity of bond markets to finance them. Central banks have delivered a gigantic increase in the money supply which has caused a rise in inflation expectations. Nominal interest rates on longer-term bonds have risen more than inflation expectations, leading to higher real interest rates. Given that equity and bond markets are highly valued, investors must monitor developments closely. We expect central banks will soon become even more active in combatting the rise in long-term interest rates.

January 2021

In 2021 the world will get vaccinated. The second half of the year should see the start of a strong economic recovery. Democrat election victories in Georgia should result in a significantly more stimulative fiscal policy. However, expectations of a $3,000 billion package seem exaggerated due to the minimal Democrat majority in the Senate as well as the presence there of some centrist, traditional Democrats. Sooner or later, the Fed and other central banks will probably have to fight a too-rapid steepening of the yield curve in order to ensure the sustainability of government debt levels.
