Mohamed El-Erian: Inflation is the biggest threat to investors, but buying opportunities exist

요약 보기

결론: 인플레이션이 투자자에게 가장 큰 위협이며, 연준의 테이퍼링 가속은 늦은 대응이다. 연준 평가: 파월 의장이 '일시적(transitory)' 표현이 인플레이션을 잘못 묘사했다고 인정하며 테이퍼링 가속을 언급한 것은 늦었지만 필요한 조정이라고 봄. 다만 오미크론 발표와 동시에 나온 점은 타이밍이 이상하다고 지적. 오미크론 영향: 시장은 이를 디스인플레이션 요인으로 봤으나 출연자는 공급 축소와 노동 부족을 키워 스태그플레이션 성격이라고 봄. 수요 둔화 가능성은 인정. 유럽 상황: 유럽 물가 지표가 컨센서스를 크게 상회했고 독일은 이미 6% 수준. 글로벌 현상이며 중앙은행은 공급망 개선이나 노동 참여 확대는 할 수 없고, 인플레이션 기대의 탈앵커링을 막는 것이 역할이라고 주장. 시장 함의: 연준이 긴축을 말해도 시장이 압박하면 다시 기다리게 되는 '진퇴양난' 상황이 될 수 있다고 경고. 연준이 올해 초 경기·증시가 강할 때 긴축할 기회를 놓쳤다고 비판. 핵심 리스크: 인플레이션 지속 시 유동성 패러다임이 바뀌어 자산매입 기반의 주가 상승이 어려워지므로, 인플레이션 지표가 시장의 가장 큰 변수. 자산별 방향: 개별 종목·지수에 대한 구체적 방향 언급 없음. 금리·환율 등 구체 가격 목표 없음.

01. he joins us now by phone mohamed market was already a little bit on edge this morning over the omicron variant and now fetcher powell himself talks a faster taper how big of a problem for stocks is that you know it is an issue i mean it's about time sarah that he recognized that the transitory word was a awful characterization of inflation that inflation is not transitory that it has to be taken more seriously by the fed and that has implications for the taker he should have done that months ago as i have argued the fact that he waited to do it at the same time as the market was trying is trying to understand what this new variant means for the economy is rather curious i would have chosen a better time to do it i wouldn't have mixed the two but it is about time that we move on to a more realistic assessment of inflation and a more responsive monetary policy so the timing is interesting muhammad because as you say the market was already roiled and nervous about economic growth as a result of this potentially vaccine evading new variant which has if you look at the impact on the market's been disinflationary so the question now is is powell trying to get ahead of inflation too late so i'm not sure it that that omicron is disinflationary i worry more that is stag placement that it may impact demand it may impact demand but it will also make the supply shorter decision even maybe the labor shortage is worse so i think of it more as a stagflationary wind it's a good thing that the economy is strong enough um but you know powell should have corrected his mischaracterization of inflation months ago it was clear from everything the companies were telling us that this is a consistent problem in his defense do you think he had to wait until he got reappointed you could very well think so i couldn't possibly comment as a famous line from a british sitcom would say it is serious that it is a few days after his renomination when he could have waited for the fed for the fed meeting that's in just over two weeks it is a curious timing especially giving given the new variant i wanted to ask as well mohammed to what extent you felt like the latest data on inflation out of europe is is a trigger for this selling and another factor that people have to have to be more aware of yeah it wasn't that much this morning you know um rates in europe were lower and they didn't take fight at what is yet what was yet another inflation reading that was well above consensus expectation and germany is already at six percent so so this is a global um phenomenon and it's not to be clear it's not that central banks can improve supply chains it's not that central banks can increase labor participation what central banks can do is minimize the risk of inflationary expectations being de-anchored and we have evidence mounting evidence that inflationary expectations are getting de-anchored mohammed i wonder about the market implications of all of this if fedshare powell now is talking about a faster taper and the market pushes him not to do that in other words we have a few more days like this and and potentially like friday on concerns of this variant if it doesn't matter what he says now it just won't happen anyway and and yet again he will be forced by the market to wait when it comes to removing stimulus and that exactly was is the problem of waiting too long is you end up in a lose-lose situation i've been warning against this for months he had a massive window to do this earlier in the year the economy was strong the markets were at a record level um things were improving on the health side and he didn't take advantage of that window so now that risk is clearly there but remember the difference this time around is inflation sarah and that's why i suggested yesterday on cnbc that inflation is the biggest threat to investors because it changes the liquidity paradigm it is very difficult for the threat to suddenly increase asset purchases for car markets when inflation is persistently high so inflation the inflation reading is a major major issue for markets and it's a major whiskable market because it can change liquidity paradigm
