Make hay while the sun shines…
Macquarie Securities (Australia) Limited As 2017 draws to a close, bination of good global growth and low inflation
Ric Deverell
+61 2 8232 4307 has seen risk assets move substantially higher. However, despite the strong
@ gains, the rally has been among the most unloved in history, as many investors
have remained on the sidelines, worried about valuation and the risk of further
shocks.
Over the following 96 pages we provide detailed forecasts for the global
economy and major markets.
While the consensus remains nervous, we feel that the global economy has
finally moved onto a stronger footing, with above average growth likely to persist
over 2018, notwithstanding a slowdown in China. This, combined with still low
interest rates should see current ‘goldilocks’ conditions continue well into 2018.
We note, however, that investors should make hay while the sun shines, as 2019
is likely to be more dangerous as stronger wages and inflation in the US along
November 2017 with the first rate hike in Europe, collide with further China weakness.
