ETF Securities Outlook 2017 – Investing in a politically volatile landscape

ETF Securities is proud to present our 2017 Outlook, Investing in a politically volatile landscape. This outlook, the latest in our triannual series, is a collection of focused research articles encapsulating the main investment themes we believe will be significant during 2017.

Our key theme is the global investment implications of continued and growing populism in Developed Western democracies and how this will fuel further political uncertainty in 2017.

Supporting topics include: debunking the commodity super-cycle myth, implications of a ”Hard Brexit”, is battery technology turning lithium into the next precious metal and an FX outlook for 2017.

Uncertainty surrounding the global political landscape and a move towards more populist leaders in the developed world will continue to be a key driver of financial market volatility in 2017. Now that the US elections are over, investors are likely to shift focus towards Europe, where there are elections in the majority of larger nations and where populists are either leading, or gaining rapidly in the polls. We believe the investment implications should result in an increase in government spending and consequent inflation.

The global recovery appears to be gaining momentum and we believe the US Federal Reserve is still on track to raise rates in December 2016 and throughout 2017. Although, we believe that the Fed will remain cautious due to heightened fiscal uncertainty, more hawkish rhetoric in coming months is to be expected, but is unlikely to change the low/negative real interest rate environment in the US.

So far investors have been buoyed by the more moderate and constructive rhetoric being proffered by President Elect Trump, and the potential for the new government to support growth via fiscal spending. Although the sustenance of the rally in the US Dollar and equity markets therefore depends on the ability of Trump to surround himself with credible policymakers and refrain from irrational policy outbursts.

Currency vigilantes changed the FX landscape in 2016, prompting sharp moves in G10 currencies, stemming from antagonistic investment views. Currency volatility will stay at the forefront of investors’ minds in 2017 exacerbated by ongoing QE policies. Speculation surrounding the tapering of accommodative central bank policy and rising breakeven inflation rates could signal the end of the bond bubble in 2017. However, it is unlikely to be a disorderly move in yields, as bond market liquidity remains little changed notwithstanding a variation in the nature and sources of liquidity.

Commodities have been an area of strength in 2016, and should continue to be so in 2017 with real assets in general likely to benefit from Trump’s proposed infrastructure program. Despite varied fundamental drivers, demand from emerging markets, particularly China, is likely to be a continued source of commodities consumption. Alongside the grind higher in global demand, substantial cutbacks to capital expenditure budgets will restrain supply. The resulting fundamental tightening in underlying conditions should keep the commodity complex well supported in coming years.

Are we about to enter “Hyperbitcoinization”?

Publicerad

den

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.

Trump recently made a public statement implying that 50 million Americans already held ”crypto”. The most recent surveys among US consumers seem to support this number.

It is no surprise that cryptoassets have become a major topic during the US presidential election as the parties have become increasingly aware that cryptoasset users could play a significant role at the ballot.

Both Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. are scheduled to deliver a pro-Bitcoin speech at the upcoming Bitcoin conference in Nashville over the weekend.

It seems as if cryptoasset users are not a small minority anymore that can be ignored.

Here are some recent US bitcoin and crypto adoption surveys for comparison (% of total population in brackets):

• Security.org: 93 mn (28%)
• Unchained: 86 mn (26%)
• Statista: 53.6 mn (16%)
• Morning Consult: 44.2 mn (13%)
• Finder: 38.4 mn (11%)

In general, cryptoasset adoption has been on the rise globally.

A recent global survey among institutional investors conducted by Fidelity even implies that 51% of surveyed institutional investors have already invested into cryptoassets such as Bitcoin.

Another recent consumer survey by Statista implies that approximately every 5th person (21%) worldwide has already invested into cryptoassets.

However, it’s important to highlight that among the top 10 regions with the highest adoption rates, 8 regions are developing countries.

So, cryptoasset adoption rates are even significantly higher among developing countries than in developed countries that often suffer from chronically high inflation rates and weak domestic currencies.

That being said, the data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

The reason is that technological adoption in general tends to accelerate at the threshold from the so-called “early adopters” to the “early majority” which is around 16% adoption rate based on the model of technological adoption famously put forth by Rogers (1962).

Global adoption rates are already at 21% while adoption rates in the US and Europe are at around 16% and 14%, respectively. So, there is a strong case for an acceleration of adoption rates in these regions and globally over the coming years.

Recent political developments in the US also imply that Bitcoin and cryptoassets are gradually becoming mainstream.

Trump has recently endorsed domestic Bitcoin mining in the US and both Democrats and Republicans have started accepting crypto payments for campaign financing.

The big success of the spot Bitcoin ETFs this year and the fact that additional types of spot crypto ETFs are being launched marks a significant shift in sentiment among US regulators in this regard.

In short, chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most-likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.

Bottom Line

• Global crypto asset adoption rates are significantly higher than previously estimated.

• The data generally suggest that both the US and Europe may be at the cusp of mass retail adoption – a situation often referred to as “Hyperbitcoinization” in the context of Bitcoin.

• Chances are that the growth of adoption will surprise to the upside due to the fact that we are most likely at the inflection point from ”Early Adopters” to ”Early Majority”.
