Should We Blame the Stock Selloff on the Federal Reserve
Stocks have started the year on a downward track. Energy stocks are hurting due to continued low oil prices and bank stocks have joined in the race to the price bottom. Amidst the commentary we found an article in CNBC online quoting Deutsche Bank as saying that only the Fed can save stocks. Are we now going to blame the stock selloff on the Federal Reserve?
The prolonged sell-off in risk assets across the globe will only abate if the U.S. Federal Reserve changes its path and begins to loosen its monetary policy once again, according to strategists at Deutsche Bank.
Chinese growth fears, stress in the U.S. energy sector and fragile balance sheets in European financial companies have all been credited in the last week for fueling the sell-off. However, there’s only one real cure for this current bout of weakness, according to a team of European equity analysts at the German bank, led by Sebastian Raedler.
Raedler said that U.S. high-yield spreads – the difference between investment grade and non-investment grade bonds – have risen above their 2011 peak and warned of the potential for a self-fulfilling “full default cycle.” He highlighted the stress had started with energy firms – that have been hit by the oil price plunge – but added that it wasn’t confined to this sector.
