Bob Janjuah Warns The Bubble Implosion Can’t Be “Fixed” This Time<\/a><\/h3>\n
Having\u00a0correctly foreseen in September\u00a0<\/a>that\u00a0“China’s devaluations are not over yet”<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0it appears Nomura’s infamous ‘bear’ Bob Janjuah has also nailed The Fed’s subsequent actions (hiking rates into a fundamentally weakening economy in a desperate bid to “convince markets that strong growth and inflation are on their way back”<\/em>). In light of this, his latest note today should be worrisome to many as he warns the\u00a0S&P 500 will trade down around 20% to 25%<\/strong>\u00a0from current levels in H1, down to the 1500s and for dip-buyers, it’s over:\u00a0“I now feel even more certain that debt-driven asset bubble implosions cannot merely be ‘fixed’ with even more debt and another round of central bank-driven asset bubbles.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
\n

As Janjuah said in September<\/a>\u00a0(excerpted):<\/p>\n

\n
I believe there is more weakness ahead \u2013 both fundamentally and within markets<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 over Q4 and perhaps into Q1 2016.
\nI repeat my view that\u00a0the Fed does not need to hike based on fundamentals,<\/strong>\u00a0but I would not be at all surprised to see the Fed hike in late 2015, in an\u00a0attempt to convince markets that strong growth and inflation are on their way back.\u00a0<\/strong>Any such hiking cycle by the Fed would I believe be extremely short-lived and quickly give way to renewed dovishness.<\/p>\n

While I think a US recession is merely possible rather than probable,\u00a0the evidence is growing in my view that a global recession is more probable than possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where is the Fed \u201cput\u201d, and what would such a \u201cput\u201d look like?<\/strong>\u00a0It is very early in the process and lots will depend on global policy responses and data outcomes, but I am happy to declare my view:\u00a0the next Fed \u201cput\u201d is not likely until the S&P 500 is trading in the 1500s at least (so more likely to be a Q1 2016 item rather than Q4 2015); and in terms of what the Fed could do, clearly QE4 has to be in the Fed\u2019s toolkit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
