The sound becomes sharper Fed sees two rate hikes in 2023

Status: 16.06.2021 8:59 p.m.

As expected, the US Federal Reserve left its key interest rate unchanged. However, the loose monetary policy will not go on forever. The stock markets are falling, and the euro is also falling. Despite the waning corona pandemic and rising inflation rates, the US Federal Reserve continues to keep its key interest rate in a range between 0.00 and 0.25 percent. The monthly bond purchases of $ 120 billion are also expected to continue for the time being. At least until progress is made towards achieving the bank’s goals. In particular, this means “considerable progress in terms of price stability and employment”. This was stated by the monetary authorities after their two-day routine interest rate meeting in Washington. According to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, the Fed is still a long way from achieving its goal: “But we are making good progress.” The bank continues to blame temporary factors for the recently stronger rise in inflation data. At the same time, she expects inflation to rise to 3.4 percent this year and drop to 2.2 percent in 2022. There is also increased economic activity and employment. Powell said the discussion about scaling back the extremely loose monetary policy had begun. The point is when it will reduce its regular bond purchases. However, Powell was not specific. Basically, the Fed chief said that if you will, you have talked about wanting to talk about the subject. With such cautious wording Powell should try to avoid panic-like reactions in the financial markets.

Two rate hikes envisaged in 2023

For the first time since the outbreak of the pandemic, however, the monetary authorities signaled that there could be two interest rate hikes of half a percentage point each in 2023. So far, the Fed’s interest rate projection provided for an unchanged monetary policy with a key interest rate close to zero. After all, seven monetary authorities are now even of the opinion that a tightening could come next year. Not only has the interest rate forecast been raised, expectations for economic growth and inflation are also higher in some cases. For this year, the Fed is expecting macroeconomic growth of 7.0 percent instead of the 6.5 percent previously expected.

The price of fresh lychees on the Hanoi market is ranging from 35,000 VND to 50,000 VND/kg. The freshest lychee is tied in bunches of about 2-3kg and often the seller does not agree to tear it apart. Thus, to enjoy, customers must spend at least 100,000 VND. Hoa (Mai Dong market) carefully wraps fresh lychees with wet towels to keep them fresh. A small trader in the area of ​​So crossroads (Thanh Xuan District) said that on these days, he sells half a kilo of fresh lychees every day. The fresh Thanh Ha lychees are sold by this small merchant by weight, for 35,000/kg.

Following the above decrease, the price of thin pork (wholesale pig/jaw) of grades 1 and 2 also dropped sharply by about 12,000-15,000 VND/kg, to 85,000 VND/kg grade 1 and 78,000 VND/kg grade 2, respectively. However, the price of mixed pork belly has not decreased much, only about 5,000 VND/kg. Specifically, the previous sausage from 90,000 VND/kg to 85,000 VND/kg; drumstick drumsticks 85,000 VND/kg to 80,000 VND/kg, lean chips 110,000 VND/kg to 105,000 VND/kg. Particularly, young ribs still keep the price of 150,000 VND/kg, while before it was at 145,000 VND/kg. Explaining the above disproportionate price reduction, Mr. Tien said that normally, when the price of pigs goes down, the price of thin pigs will also drop directly, even if the reduction is more than the price of live pigs. Particularly, mixed pork usually does not decrease immediately, but gradually, on the contrary, the increase will also be gradual because traders and traders have signed contracts with each other in advance for a fixed period of time. Retail pork prices are still high, making consumers wonder. That is also the reason why small traders in some retail markets said that the price of pork of all kinds they sold has not decreased much, some places only decreased by about 5,000 – 10,000 VND/kg. Co Nhi, a small pork trader at Go Vap market (HCMC), said that for more than a week now, she has been importing wholesale pork at a high, unchanged price, about 117,000 – 125,000 VND/kg. Therefore, the retail price of pork remains high: young ribs 180,000-190,000 VND/kg, bacon 155,000 – 160,000 VND/kg, thighs 110,000 – 120,000 VND/kg… “The wholesale price of pork has not decreased, so I still keep the selling price. Prices of ham, ribs, and bacon are still high, so customers buy less and consumption is slow. Accordingly, the amount of imported goods also decreased from 100 kg/day to only 40 kg/day. Only when the wholesale price of imported pork and snakehead meat decreases, the retail price will decrease accordingly, which can stimulate buyers to increase pork consumption again,” Ms. Nhi said. Mr. Nguyen Dang Phu – Deputy General Director of Vietnam Vissan Animal Industry Joint Stock Company, also assessed that the sales force for pork products is currently very slow, the company has to reduce the price of all kinds of young ribs and cutlets by 15%. , pork belly pulled ribs… to stimulate purchasing power. Meanwhile, in the same market, the price of pork varies from place to place. At Base Market 26A (Go Vap District, some stalls quote the price of young ribs VND 165,000/kg, bacon 120,000 VND/kg, thighs 100,000 VND/kg… But another stall is not far away, the seller quoted the price. higher than 20,000 – 25,000 VND/kg, specifically: 180,000 VND/kg baby ribs, 140,000 VND/kg bacon, 120,000 VND/kg thighs… As explained by the small traders, the retail price of pork depends on each market, both wholesale and retail markets. At the beginning of the session (3 – 4 am) pork prices will be high and prices will decrease at the end of the session (6 – 7 am). Some retail sellers will watch out for wholesale markets to import “dropped goods” at cheap prices and sell cheaply to push goods; and those who import goods early, the meat is delicious, the price is higher, so they are forced to retail at a high price. “This whole week, I imported thin pigs with a constant price of 105,000 VND/kg, not 78,000 – 85,000 VND/kg. Not to mention, the purchasing power is slow, there is still a lot of meat left in the afternoon so I have to sell it all cheaply to the shops; The price at the beginning of the session, at the end of the session, is not much profit,” explained Ms. Thuyen – selling pork at Cho Base 26A. As noted by us, meat prices at some slaughterhouses also remained high. For example, in Vissan, even after the reduction of pork, it is still quite high. Pork ribs 275,000 VND/kg reduced to 210,000 VND/kg, pork belly 205,000 VND/kg reduced to 175,000 VND/kg, thigh meat 166,000 VND/kg reduced to 145,000 VND/kg… Branded packaged pork… Meat Deli is even higher: thigh 152,000 VND/kg, pork belly 192,000 VND/kg, cutlet 124,000 VND/kg, pork leg boneless 160,000 VND/kg… (According to Women in HCMC)

Compared with last year’s quarterly report, this year’s A-share listed company’s quarterly report performance is generally expected to be happy. The reason is that, on the one hand, the base number last year was low, and it is very difficult for performance growth this year compared to the same period last year; on the other hand, the expected economic recovery this year has risen significantly, and the performance recovery of listed companies will also be significantly enhanced.

In fact, due to the special environmental impact in the first quarter of 2020, the data in the quarterly report of listed companies last year did not have much reference. For the market, it is more willing to conduct a comparative analysis with the quarterly report data of 2019. In reality, although many listed companies reported a substantial increase in the performance of this year’s quarterly report compared with the same period last year, there is still a gap compared with the 2019 quarterly report. In other words, if the performance of a listed company in the first quarter of this year is stronger than that of the first quarter of 2019, then for this listed company, the growth advantage is still relatively obvious. On the contrary, it may reflect that the profitability of listed companies is not strong. It is just that compared with the first quarter report of 2020, there has been a repairable performance, and the performance of market prices will naturally be greatly reduced. As a result, this can explain the reason why some listed companies have announced their performance announcements, but the capital market has not bought it.

In addition, there is also a phenomenon that the performance of listed companies is growing well. This year’s quarterly report has not only increased significantly compared with the same period last year, but also showed signs of growth compared with the first quarter of 2019. However, judging from the price performance of the secondary market, it is still being sold off by market funds, which may be related to the high valuation factors of listed companies themselves. Or, in the context of intensified institutional grouping and disagreement, there is pressure for institutions to concentrate on selling.

Since February 18 this year, the A-share market has shown a trend of “killing valuations”, which is mainly concentrated on the white horse stocks in the A-share market. However, from the perspective of these white horse stocks that have been sold by institutions, they mainly have the characteristics of institutional grouping, high valuations and large previous increases. In contrast, blue-chip stocks with low valuations and small gains in the previous period did not show a significant downward trend, becoming the most stable listed company this year.

The white horse stock market’s “killing valuation” is largely related to the anticipation of the inflection point of loose liquidity, which is also a manifestation of partial de-bubble. In addition, as the “anchor” for the valuation and pricing of global core assets, the yields of US 10-year Treasury bonds have soared, which has also accelerated the compression rate of the global core asset valuation premium.

As the white horse stocks occupying a higher weight in the market, this round of irrational decline in the market has a greater impact on the market index. However, due to the impact of many large blue chip stocks, the decline in the market index is not very significant. Since the beginning of this year, the Shanghai Stock Index has performed relatively well in the Shenzhen market.

A shares fell below 3400 points again, and the total trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets shrank to less than 700 billion yuan, which shows that the investment sentiment in the market has dropped to a freezing point. As the market continues to shrink, it actually heralds that the market’s turning point is approaching. However, from another perspective, if the major A-share market indexes have fallen below the half-year line and the annual line, and the average daily trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets has fallen below the level of 500 billion yuan, then the A-share market may be declared Step into the bear market again.

Over the years, the A-share market has often been characterized by a bull market for only three years and a bear market for only five years. Whether this market curse can be broken this time, there are still certain unknowns. However, according to the current valuation level of the A-share market and the analysis of the economic environment, the A-share market does not yet have the basis for entering a bear market again. Even according to the relatively weak trend, it is difficult for the A-share market to re-enact the unilateral decline in 2015 and 2018, and it is more likely to complete the process of turbulence and bottoming in the form of time for space.

From the overall analysis, although the decline of the market index will be relatively limited, judging from the rapid decline of the White Horse stock in the last two months, the market is more inclined to partially defoam, rather than defoaming and deleveraging. Market. Compared with 2019 and 2020, the A-share market in 2021 will look more dull, and the structural market has become the main tone of this year’s market.

However, with the experience and lessons learned from the deleveraging market in the second half of 2015, at the level of policy supervision, the attitude of the bull market in the financial market may be cautious. However, under the background of the comprehensive advancement of the registration system, the support of a continuous bull market environment is required. Therefore, from a policy perspective, I do not want the stock market to see a trend of ups and downs. It is more likely that I hope that A shares will go out of 2016 to 2017.
