Investir em dívida como hedge para uma 'disinflation'

Administrator


The central bank's benchmark overnight lending rate is now 4.50%-4.75%. Traders of interest-rate futures are pricing in one more 25 basis point increase in March before the Fed pauses to assess how its run-up in interest rates from near zero one year ago is slowing the economy.

Rate cuts, they expect, will start in September - a view Powell said Wednesday is driven by the expectation of fast-receding inflation.

Either cutting in September or waiting until next year, would be in the historical range. Since the 1990s, the interlude between rate hikes and rate cuts has varied from as long as 18 months in 1997-1998 to as short as five months in 1995.

Se estivermos agora a chegar ao fim do aumento do juro US, então faz sentido comprar a dívida norte-americana. Se se seguir uma política monetária expansionista, as obrigações US verão uma queda no seu yield, logo uma subida no seu preço. Assim, o investimento em dívida US será positiva se a inflação continuar a cair e o emprego cair. Se a inflação aumentar e o emprego subir, então este investimento falhará.

Hoje estamos nos EUA dos anos 70 ou no Japão dos anos 90?
