COMMENTS
HENDRIK DU TOIT, CEO, NINETY ONE:
"It's a completely new world, and we need to understand
that."
"He (Trump) has a massive endorsement and will move much
faster than before. The market will price that in very quickly.
What's really important here is the markets like clarity, and
they have that."
ANDREA SCAURI, SENIOR PORTFOLIO MANAGER, LEMANIK,
LUGANO:
"With Trump's victory, you'll get much stronger fiscal
policies compared to what might have been under a Democratic
administration. This will have repercussions for inflation, and
you can see that already with this morning's rise in Treasury
yields."
"So, who benefits from all of this? I think old-economy
sectors, like oil, drilling, mechanical, and heavy industry,
will benefit. And probably also tech, as the American consumers
will have more money in their pockets, they might spend it on
new phones, TVs, or invest in the stock market."
EMMANUEL CAU, HEAD OF EUROPEAN EQUITY STRATEGY,
BARCLAYS, LONDON:
"You have renewables, auto sector, some of the tariff
stocks and China-exposed names which are lagging, so even though
the market is going up, you are seeing some discrimination based
on some of the Trump policies."
"Roughly speaking, you have renewable and tariff trade
names underperforming, then you have your U.S. consumer and
dollar plays doing better. That seems to be the story now."
EMMANOUIL KARIMALIS, MACRO RATES STRATEGIST, UBS,
LONDON:
"We think that given Trump's key elements of his agenda
- tariffs on China and the rest of the world - the market is
just thinking this would obviously have an impact on China, and
Europe is a bit more sensitive to China. That would probably
have an impact on growth, so European rates (bonds) are
rallying."
"U.S. rates have obviously sold off given expectations
of more fiscal loosening in the U.S., and probably slightly
higher inflation due to tariffs."
"The fact that European rates have reacted sharply might
be a little bit overdone in my view, because we don't expect the
ECB to shift their expectations quickly."
DAVID ALLEN, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, PLATO GLOBAL ALPHA FUND,
SYDNEY:
"Markets absolutely crave certainty, if we'd had a long
contested result you would have seen price swings to the
downside in major markets...Trump's victory was also somewhat
priced in at the margins"
"I do think Trump 2.0 will be different from Trump 1.0... I
don't think Trump was even expecting to win the first time and
was less prepared. This time is different, I expect him to push
through a lot of fast major legislation within the first 100
days, so hold onto your hats."
ROGIER QUAEDVLIEG, SENIOR U.S. ECONOMIST, ABN AMRO RESEARCH,
AMSTERDAM
"Given the inflationary expectations associated with Trump's
economic and fiscal policies, we expect U.S. rates to continue
rise across the yield curve. We anticipate that the market will
further retrace expectations for Fed rate cuts next year due to
increased inflation projections, while also pricing in higher
term premiums.
"However, our economic analysis suggests that the full
implementation of Trump's policies - especially the tariffs -
will eventually weigh heavily on the US economy."
"Trump's universal tariffs plan is also expected to have a
substantial impact on the already fragile euro zone economy,
while the inflationary effects for Europe will be more limited.
This could trigger an even more accelerated rate cutting cycle
path from the ECB and will likely lead to a greater divergence
between the US and European policy rates."
ANDRZEJ SZCZEPANIAK, EUROPEAN ECONOMIST, NOMURA, LONDON:
"In summary: It's bad news for Europe."
"Trump winning means tariffs which will adversely affect
growth in Europe. The European Commission is expected to
retaliate like-for-like, which could mean higher inflation in
the euro area - or, as manufacturing firms' pricing power is so
diminished, as we have been flagging for some time, firms could
be forced to absorb these higher costs, which in turn may result
in some firms shuttering and unemployment rising, thus weighing
more heavily on growth."
KEN PENG, HEAD OF ASIA INVESTMENT STRATEGY, CITI WEALTH,
HONG KONG
"A lot of this is based on investors' view that Trump would
cut taxes or at least keep tax rates low. Now that it's likely
to be looking like a red sweep - additional cuts are possible.
"Deregulation is another major positive for the economy and
markets, particularly for the financial, energy and tech
sectors. The negatives are tariffs. That's going to be negative
for global growth, you know, particularly in China, Asia
(and)Europe... you see inflation expectations rise.
"I think the market is currently still just enjoying the
positive aspects of a red sweep, but I think as time passes, you
are likely to see the risks ... get priced in."
NAKA MATSUZAWA, CHIEF MACRO STRATEGIST, NOMURA, TOKYO:
"I think the market was not yet ready for a 'red sweep'...
if the 'red sweep' materialises, 10-year yields for U.S.
Treasuries could go up to as high as 4.50% and above. Dollar/yen
could go over 155. They're kind of half pricing in that level
right now.
"If Trump can pass tax and spending bills first, then he
doesn't have to rush for the hardline policies against China,
which come rather later. If Congress is controlled by
Republicans Trump can prioritise economic stimulus measures."
RONG REN GOH, PORTFOLIO MANAGER, EASTSPRING INVESTMENTS,
SINGAPORE:
"With Trump, market volatility is likely to pick up, so
trading-wise, it does open up opportunities. The volatility
comes from uncertainty surrounding how he intends to follow
through on some of his campaign promises.
"Right now the markets are focusing narrowly on the prospect
of tariffs, because it is the easiest lever to pull directly
under a presidential executive order, but we've seen between
2016 and 2020 other levers that can be pulled to contain China.
"From this perspective, I think a foreign investor is likely
to position more defensively towards China-focused risk."
WONG KOK HOONG, HEAD OF EQUITY SALES TRADING, MAYBANK,
SINGAPORE:
"Carnage in HK/China hasn't really materialised because
traders and investors are still awaiting any possible (stimulus)
announcements.
"As for the next four years in general, for a start we may
need to download Truth Social app."
GARY NG, SENIOR ECONOMIST, NATIXIS, HONG KONG:
"As Trump's policies in trade tariffs and tax cuts may lead
to higher inflationary pressure and a wider fiscal deficit, the
Fed may be less dovish than before.
"Therefore, the yuan can face higher pressure."
