Equity Outlook Global Uncertainties Continue to Stoke Fears ECONOMIC & STRATEGY RESEARCH 17 June 2019 Semiannual report Extract from a report Equity Outlook Global uncertainties continue to stoke fears © iStock The first months of the year were positively influenced by global equity markets’ recovery after selloffs at the end of 2018: In December 2018, equity markets suffered from severe selloffs, which decreased the price basis and allowed for a decent rebound. This was supported by the wait for conclusion of a trade agreement between the United States and China. May was highlighted by another selloff: This happened primarily due to the temporary failure of trade negotiations with China. The relationship between the US and China is still quite cold. Another drop in global stock indices was caused by US President Donald Trump’s threats of imposing import tariffs on Mexican goods. June brought a solution to the Mexican tariffs so markets could rebound and cover May’s losses. Outlook for the second half of the year is not rosy: With low visibility of the outcome of the trade war and Brexit, and a recession expected in the US in mid-2020, Société Générale further reduced the risk profile of its global asset allocation portfolio. We see a downside potential to global equity indices. Sectoral composition: We are more directed toward defensive stocks again, with a focus on quality earnings and solid higher dividend yielders. Utility, beverages and real estate are the sectors with a new Overweight recommendation. Prague Stock Exchange: We believe the PX index is able to surpass developments of West European competitors and achieve double-digit growth this year.

There was a downward correction in May, which is currently [email protected] being erased by growing markets. The global MSCI index gained more than 12% in 1H19. Shares of developed markets were slightly better with gains amounting to more than 13%. Especially the May selloff caused the MSCI for emerging markets to gain slightly above 6%. Looking at specific regions, the Japanese Nikkei 225 (gained 8%) was worse than the global MSCI index. A comparable performance to MSCI World was shown by the European Global equity market Stoxx 600 index, which rose around 12%. As is often the case, the absolute winner was the 540 American S&P 500 index. It grew at a faster pace than other indices for the whole period and 520 especially at the end of 1H it was able to recover faster and more energetically from May’s selloff.

In January alone, almost all main global equity indices grew approximately 7%. In the first few months of this year, hopes for a trade agreement between the United States and China helped markets to grow. There was a constant inflow of positive news regarding trade negotiations, and everything signalled an end to the trade war. Nevertheless, at the beginning of May, equity markets experienced a cold shower as US President Donald Trump announced plans to increase import tariffs on Chinese goods in the amount of $200m from 10% to 25% within a couple of days. At the same time, Trump also threatened to impose a new 25% tariff on remaining Chinese imports in the amount of $325m. The reason for these announcements was the alleged effort by China to renegotiate certain parts of the trade agreement that Trump considered unacceptable. Unfortunatelly, since then, the relationship between the two countries has deteriorated significantly. Mutual accusations as who is responsible for not reaching a trade agreement followed, which led to increased tension. Within a couple of days the inevitable happened and the United States increased import tariffs on Chinese goods to 25%. China retaliated almost immediately by increasing import tariffs from 5% and 10% for different types of goods to a united 25% for American goods in a total amount of $60m. 17 June 2019 3 Economic & Strategy Research Equity Outlook May showed signs of increased At the end of May, a well-known factor The fear index volatility and selloffs due to the appeared in the inverse bond curve, where temporary failure of trade VIX Index negotiations with China. the difference between the three-month rate 50 and the 10-year yield fell to its lowest level 40 since March.

The reason for this threat, according to Trump, is unresolved immigration policy in Mexico. Within a week, the two countries found a solution for this issue and Trump revoked his plan for tariffs. Since then, nothing has stood in the way of the wave of optimism on equity markets, which began to correct May’s selloffs. The situation in May is clearly captured by the VIX index, which shows the volatility of markets, i.e. uncertainty and fear among investors.

  • Equity Outlook Trade War Opportunities
    ECONOMIC & STRATEGY RESEARCH 16 January 2019 Semiannual report Extract from a report Equity Outlook Trade war opportunities © iStock Increasing interest rates in the United States and the escalating trade war: Uncertainty on markets stemming from these factors as well as from negotiations about Brexit and the situation concerning Italian public finances resulted in a sharp increase in volatility. At the end of 2018, there were significant sell-offs, and stock indices closed the year in the red. An expected recession in the United States will send stock markets down: After a short-term recovery of stock indices, this year should eventually end up failing. We believe the Prague PX Index has the potential to overcome the major world indices thanks to its sectoral composition. The trade war continues to be a significant influence on equity markets : For all of last year, the escalation of the trade war damaged equity markets. At the beginning of 2019, news of the successful meeting between US and Chinese representatives helped markets to recover. The car industry, miners, and steel and aluminium producers suffered the most from the trade war: Producers of steel and aluminium have suffered due to the imposed tariffs, whereas investors are losing faith in the car industry as the threat of tariffs remains.

Hlavním cílém této práce je zjistit, jak finanční krize ovlivnila Pražskou burzu. Za pomoci standardních statistických metod, ARMA, GARCH a VAR modelů zkoumám na denních datech tyto fenomény: volatilitu, cenové skoky, efekt dne v týdnu, platnost hypotézy efektivních trhů a tok informací mezi akciemi. Výsledky analýzy ukazují, že krizí byly více zasaženy akcie bankovního sektoru než ostatní akcie. Krize byla především charakterizována průdkým nárustem volatility a korelace mezi jednotlivými akciemi na trhu. Krize také ovlivnila tok informací mezi akciemi a efekt dne v týdnu. Avšak cenové skoky a informační efektivnost ovlivněny nebyly.
