22. 1H2012 Key Global Themes
• Fed/Japan /Euro are committed to keeping rates low – this will ultimately be
the cause of the greatest misallocation of capital ever.
• We are still in a 2-zone inflation world – DM on the lower side (with sub-par
growth) and EM on the higher side, but already peaking. SA questions about
structural risks in inflation outlook.
• Debt crisis will continue to haunt overleveraged countries – Risk appetite will
be more subdued and capital flows lower than recent past.
• State, municipal and European peripheral finances destined to end in tears –
Squeeze on revenues due to politically expedient austerity will lead to severe
financing crunch. Banking systems are still vulnerable.
• 2011’s mid-cycle growth slowdown has morphed into possible 2012
recession – flight to safety will remain as a key theme and inflation is a non-
starter. High oil prices a tax on growth.
• Locally, SARB at the mercy of global conditions – but constrained by rising
inflation above upper target.

23. Investment Recipe for 2012?
It Ain’t over yet.
Beware of (bond) Bubbles!
Be Conservative.
24. What’s changed?
• Fed has committed to low rates into 2014.
• ECB has provided unlimited 3 year liquidity to
banking sector.
• EM’s like Brazil & India easing more aggressively
than expected.
• Etc etc…
25. What’s changed?
• So, with a global easing bias; and
• Risky assets already pricing in bad news
means :
Markets in risky assets will rally this year?
27. Market scenarios
Scenario 1 : Spain, Italy, France are moving
into debt trap territory. Everything else is
just noise.
Scenario 2 : Too much is at risk for the Euro
to fail. This is just a blood on the streets
point in time – time to be brave.
