Saxo Capital Markets Outlook 2010: 'Year of Reflation'
SINGAPORE, Jan. 19 /PRNewswire-Asia-AsiaNet/ --
Reflation is prolonging the crisis - Saxo Capital Markets warns of a 'rollercoaster ride' in the year ahead
Saxo Capital Markets, the online trading and investment specialist, in its yearly Financial Outlook, believes
2010 will be a year of reflation, and that the positive trends from the latter half of 2009 will continue well into
2010. However, 'structural headwinds' lie ahead that could turn 2010 into a 'rollercoaster ride'.
As the economies emerge from one of the most severe recessions in history, the biggest surprise in 2009
was the swiftness of the recoveryin the US and Euro-zone. Having started 2009 on an extremely low point, the
global economy responded to large amounts of government stimuli. The sharp rise in risk willingness was
remarkable given the severity of the downturn and instead of sideways markets, produced an almost straight
line recovery for equities in Asia.
Andrew Robinson, Market Analyst at Saxo Capital Markets states, "In the long term, Asia will lead the
recovery out of this crisis for several reasons. There is more savings per capita than most western economies,
the banking and financial institutions are in better shape and Asian governments will continue to generate jobs
through infrastructure projects."
"One additional important factor is that there isn't a major government change scheduled to take place in
key Asia markets this year that would impede stimulus plans," says Robinson. "With markets now pricing in
strong growth in every corner of the world, the stage is set for the economies to deliver."
The 2010 outlook also highlights the danger of prolonging the crisis into 2010 as efforts to stimulate the
economy stands in the way of change towards long-term sustainability.
