Market recovery delayed Jittery markets to persist for at least 6 months, before US starts to pull global economy up in 2004 3 Conflicting signals from Fed have delayed market recovery Ideal H2 scenario: stimulative monetary/fiscal stance and weak dollar generate sustainable low-inflation US recovery Likely H2 scenario: premature hopes of recovery strengthen dollar and raise interest rates
Rates are the key Overshoot on US rates to persist, as tax cuts produce temporary surge in demand Risk of slackening in growth as these higher rates close down the refinancings that have sustained household spending Positioned for market disappointment on growth and further Fed easing 4
Scenario for 2004 After disappointed expectations in H2, sustainable US recovery comes through in spring Combination of tax cuts, rate cuts and benign neglect of exchange rate must eventually be effective Dollar depreciation augurs export growth, and thereby stimulates investment spend - companies willing to expand capacity But short-term term impact will be to depress market expectations for Europe 5
