Back
in December 2018, when conventional wisdom was falsely convinced by the
handshake between Trump and Xi that the tariff war between the US and
China would soon end, we warned that not only is the trade war nowhere near over, far from it, but that semiconductors
had "become the central battlefield in the trade war between the two
countries. And it is a battle in which China has a very visible Achilles
heel." 2018年12月を振り返ると、浅知恵で間違っていたのだが、トランプと習近平が手を握り米中関税戦争はすぐに終わると見られていた、そのときZeroHedgeはこう警告していた、貿易戦争はそう簡単に終わらないだけでなく、さらに激化し、「半導体分野が二国間貿易戦争の激戦地となるだろう。そしてこの戦争では明らかにこの分野は中国のアキレス腱だ。と」
Today, SaxoBank's head of equity strategy, Peter Garnry, not only
confirms what we said nearly 6 months ago, but also notes that as the
trade war evolves into a technology cold, many industries stand to lose
but semiconductor companies are more exposed than anything else. "Add in the rising risk of recession and you’ve got what looks like a perfect storm", he notes ominously.
His full note is below: 彼の主張の全文はこちら:
In our recent trade war analysis "Are you ready for a Cold War in tech? " we argued that the world has seen the starting signal of a Cold War in technology between the US and China. The
most likely outcome of the US ban of Huawei due to national security
issues is that the global supply chain will come under attack the next
couple of decades. Many industries from transportation,
semiconductors, biotechnology, rare earth minerals etc. will all most
likely be deemed of national security to both the US and China. If the
rivalry intensifies between the two countries the only sensible
trajectory from here is a global supply chain separation. US and China
will seek to make themselves independent of each other to limit the
political downside risk in an escalating trade and technology war
Semiconductors are bleeding and it will continue 半導体はすでに苦しんでおりこれは継続するだろう。
Since the US escalated the trade war by increasing the tariffs from
10% to 25% on $200 billion of Chinese goods on May 6 semiconductors have
been tanking. The industry group can be divided into two groups:
semiconductor equipment makers and pure semiconductor manufacturers.
We have devised two custom indices tracking those two industries to
measure the impact on the global supply chain the trade war. As the
chart below shows the semiconductor industry is hurting from the
US-China trade war escalation and our view is that it will continue.
Investors should stay underweight semiconductors. In our last trade war analysis we highlighted the US companies with the biggest exposure to China and the majority of those are in fact US semiconductor companies.
Another
reason to be negative on semiconductors is that earnings have most
likely topped and valuations will have to reflect this over the next 12
months. We see the risk of recession going up from our standpoint of
just three months ago and in the case of a global recession
semiconductor companies would be hit the hardest. To make it a
perfect storm we also expect it to coincide with the beginning of a new
AI winter which will dramatically slow down the growth in
semiconductors.
US semiconductor companies have most to lose 米国半導体企業がもっとも打撃を受ける
If we look at how semiconductor manufacturers are performing based on
their geography we see a clear sign that US companies stand to lose the
most, together with South Korea. If the global supply chain in the
semiconductor industry is being reconfigured US semiconductor companies
will lose short-term revenue in China and will have to invest in new
manufacturing facilities in other countries.
Chinese semiconductor companies will on the other hand be more
directly supported by the Chinese government and thus win out relatively
speaking. But what about WTO rules about state support? In our
view the WTO framework is at risk of being obsolete as the US is clearly
steering away from multilateral trade deals towards bilateral deals. In this world order China would not be accountable for state sponsorship of semiconductors inside WTO.
European semiconductor companies could win relatively in the short-term
but they face the risk that Europe eventually choose the US over China
in the new political future. The caveat here is that Europe needs strong
exports to offset weak domestic growth and here China offers more
upside potential than the US economy. European politicians are entering a
minefield over the next decade as they feel squeezed between the
diverging interests of the US and China.
US equities have broadly outperformed これまで米国株は幅広くアウトパフォームしてきた
Outside the casualties in semiconductors the US equity market has in
fact outperformed the five countries running the biggest trade surplus
against the US. Our trade war ETF basket shows that US equities have
outperformed by 22%-points since early 2018 when the trade war broke
out. In the markets view trade surplus countries are more vulnerable.
Only time will tell whether this is in fact true or not.
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう この長文記事をRay Dalioが発表し、ゴールドは$1400から$1420へと急騰しました。GLD保持高に変化はないのでたぶん先物ポジションが進んでいます。 Ray Dalio Warns A "New Paradigm" Is Coming: "Buy Gold, Sell Stocks" by Tyler Durden Wed, 07/17/2019 - 14:44 Authored by Ray Dalio via LinkedIn, One of my investment principles is: 私の投資原則はこういうものだ: Identify the paradigm you’re in, examine if and how it is unsustainable, and visualize how the paradigm shift will transpire when that which is unsustainable stops. 現在のパラダイムを認識し、それがどの程度持続可能かどうか判断する、そしてパラダイムシフトがどのように起きるか、そしてその着地点を思い描く。 Over my roughly 50 years of being a global macro investor, I have observed there to be relatively long of periods (about 10 years) in which the markets and market relationships operate in a certain way (which I call “paradig...
Amazonで買物をしてContrarianJを応援しよう Silver Outperforming Gold 2 Adam Hamilton July 26, 2019 3232 Words Silver has blasted higher in the last couple weeks, far outperforming gold. This is certainly noteworthy, as silver has stunk up the precious-metals joint for years. This deeply-out-of-favor metal may be embarking on a sea-change sentiment shift, finally returning to amplifying gold’s upside. Silver is not only radically undervalued relative to gold, but investors are aggressively buying. Silver’s upside potential is massive. ここ2週シルバーは急騰した、ゴールドを遥かに凌ぐものだ。これは注目すべきことだ、もう何年もシルバーはひどいものだった。この極端に嫌われた金属が大きく心理を買えている、とうとうゴールド上昇を増幅するに至った。シルバーは対ゴールドで極端に過小評価されているだけでなく、投資家は積極的に買い進んでいる。シルバーの潜在上昇力は巨大なものだ。 Silver’s performance in recent years has been brutally bad, repelling all but the most fanatical contrarians. Historically silver prices have been mostly ...
How Are Gold And Money Supply Related? by Tyler Durden Sun, 06/14/2020 - 13:00 Authored by Mike Shedlock via MishTalk, M2 Money Supply is surging. Will gold follow? M2マネーサプライが急増している。ゴールドはこれを追従するだろうか? Let's investigate an alleged relationship between gold and M2, a measure of money supply in the US. よく言われるM2(米国のマネーサプライ指標)とゴールドの関係について調べてみよう。 "There’s a clear correlation between the annual growth rate in M2 money supply and the price of the yellow metal. " 「M2の年率増加速度とゴールド価格の間には明らかな相関がある。」 Clear Correlation? 明らかな相関? The Tweet claims something different than my lead chart depicts. So let's investigate the above idea in other time frames. このツイートの主張は私が示す最初のチャートが示すものとは異なる。というわけでこのtweetの主張を別の時間フレームで見てみよう。 Gold vs Rate of Change in M2 Money Supply ゴールド vs M2マネーサプライの変化率 If we look at longer time frames, the rate of increase in M2 theory falls flat on its face....
