The stock market has started a new week very choppy, after the ECB, BOE and the Federal Reserve decided to support their respective economies in different ways. The Bank of England and the ECB seemed to prioritise weaker businesses, especially local SMEs, with specific targeted interventions. On the other hand, the Fed has, once again, slashed the Fed Rate by 1% to 0%-0.25%. Additionally, the US central bank initiated a $700bn Quantitative Easing program to inject further liquidity into the market.
在欧洲央行、英国央行和美联储决定以不同方式支持各自经济后，股市又开始了不平静的一周。英国央行和欧洲央行采取的干预政策似乎优先考虑了较弱的企业，尤其是当地的中小企业。另一方面，美联储再次调息，将利率下调了1％，达到0％-0.25％。此外，美联储还启动了7000亿美元的量化宽松计划，向市场注入更多流动性。
The first reaction from the market has been a quick spike higher on US stocks futures, followed by a similarly quick drop in value. Market participants appear to be focused on the short side, ignoring purely financial measures, as an even more expansionary monetary policy might not be very impactful to fight what can be defined as an exogenous shock and black swan event. The SPY (a NYSE traded ETF replicating the SP500 performance) suggests an opening bell of roughly 9.5% lower for the US stock index.
市场给出的第一反应是美国股票期货飙升，但随后价格迅速下跌。市场参与者似乎更关注短期，而忽视了财政手段，因此更具扩张性的货币政策对应对现下的外来冲击和黑天鹅事件似乎作用有限。一种在纽约证券交易所进行交易的、复制SP500表现的交易型开放式指数基金 SPY预示着，美国股指在开盘将下跌约9.5％。
For once, central banks will likely not have the power to control what seems to be an inevitable recession and economic downturn. On the positive side, many economists predict that such recession might not last as usual, with an average duration estimate of 3 to 4 months.
这一次，中央银行很大可能上将无法控制这似乎不可避免的经济衰退和经济下行。但从积极的方面来看，许多经济学家预测，这次的经济衰退可能不会像往常一样持久，平均持续时间可能为3到4个月。
Meanwhile, airline companies, travel agencies, travel FX companies, semiconductors, and financials are all struggling. Gold has also not been immune with a steep fall due to a general lack of liquidity amongst market operators and a broad “cash run”, to cover margin calls on levered long positions.
同时，航空公司、旅行社、旅行外汇公司、半导体和金融公司都在挣扎。由于市场参与者普遍缺乏流动性，以及广泛的“现金挤兑”为杠杆多头头寸追加保证金，黄金也未能从下跌大潮中幸免。
Oil has been sold heavily as no solution appears to be imminent from either the Russian or OPEC side. Consequently, CADJPY (down 2.6% today) has also sold off and continues to weaken. On the Fixed Income side, US 10Yr Treasuries recovered from the lowest yield at 0.36% for now trading at around 0.77%.
因为俄罗斯和OPEC方面都未能给出解决方案，石油被大量抛售。 因此，加元兑日元（今天下跌2.6％）也被遭到抛售，并继续走弱。 在固定收益方面，美国10年期美国国债从收益率最低的0.36％恢复至目前的约0.77％。
The Japanese Prime Minister announced a G7 conference call will be arranged for Monday afternoon to discuss potential coordinated action from the biggest economies worldwide.
