Financiers anticipate another major crisis. What are the reasons?

21 June 03:02 PM

Russia, Moscow. Aleksey Kudrin, Minister of Finance and Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, joined Nouriel Roubini, Charles Nenner, Warren Buffet, George Soros and Alexander Lukashenko in his pessimistic view of global economic perspectives. He also anticipates the 2^nd wave of the global crisis.

During his speech at the St. Petersburg Annual International Economic Forum Mr. Kudrin said that the probability of another major crisis was still high. Why do the world’s leading financiers feel so pessimistic about the perspectives of the global economy?

Kydrin’s pessimistic forecast and reasons for it.

According to the Russian Association of Traders and Investors under Masterforex-V Academy, Mr. Kudrin assumes that the world’s leading economies may see a considerable slowdown within the next 3 years. It is not inevitable but the probability is high.

1. The threat of another major crisis still exists. The crisis is postponed, not eliminated.

2. The following factors can explain the existing jeopardy:

- Firstly, the uncertainty is fairly high. All the indicators of the leading economies are unstable.

- Secondly, in fact the U.S. consumer model, which led to the gigantic public debt, hasn’t been changed. Will the Americans manage to put up with the significant reduction of budget spending? This is what the future of the US and global economies depend on. Moreover, the U.S. needs an interest rate increase in order to curb inflation and to free the American banks from the so-called “bad” assets.

- Thirdly, the eurozone has serious problems to solve. Some eurozone countries still may default on their debts.

- Fourthly, numerous “emerging” markets have “price bubbles” which can burst at any moment.

- And finally, Chinese economy may face overheating, with unexpected consequences.

Kudrin’s solutions

Aleksey Kudrin assumes that the world’s leading countries should reduce their budgetary spending by at least 15-20%, which in its turn implies the revision of social support models.

· The countries should reconsider their priorities concerning the governmental support of some economic sectors.

· There is a need to switch to new conditions of global economic development, which may take a few years.

Do the world’s leading economists and investors agree with Aleksey Kudrin?

Many big-scale financiers share Mr. Kudrin’s pessimistic point of view. According to a behind-the-scenes survey conducted during the St. Petersburg Forum, the picture of the near-term economic future is rather gloomy:

1. Defaults around the world. 53.4% of the respondents assume that within the next 5 years from 1 to 3 countries will default on their debts. 46.6% of the respondents are sure that defaults will be seen in 4 or more countries.

2. The poor condition of the U.S. economy. 47.7% of the respondents say that either a recession or an economic slowdown will take place in the USA, 20,3% – in the E.U. , 15,2% – in China or other countries with developing economies.

3. Only 10.1% say there won’t be any 2^nd wave of the global crisis.

Nouriel Roubini outpaced Aleksey Kudrin

A couple of days ago Nouriel Roubini, the famous financial analyst who predicted the global crisis in 2007, made a similar forecast. According to him the there is a “perfect storm” of 4 threats, which may hit the global economy in 2013. The 4 threats are the possibility of an economic slowdown in China, the damage done to Japan, the current debt crisis in Europe and the emerging crisis in the USA.

· Nouriel Roubini says that the global economic slowdown is one of the major factors make the 2^nd wave inevitable. Even now such tendencies are getting more evident.

· Another major factor is the growing sovereign debts of numerous countries and corporations.

· Investors keep losing confidence in the global economy in general and the U.S. economy in particular. The U.S budget deficit will keep growing.

· Moreover, if the EU keeps postponing the restructuring of Greece, Portugal and Ireland’s public debts, the eurozone well may be disintegrated.

· Excessive investments in China’s basic capital may lead to “bad loans” and idle capacities. Moreover, China desperately needs consumption growth. Without it the Chinese economy will inevitably see a slowdown.

EURUSD perspectives.

According to the Department of Masterforex-V trading system , EURUSD is retracing against the long-term uptrend. The currency pair is developing wave b(C ) of H4. If there is a bearish FZR, another downswing will take the form of wave c(C ) H4. 1.4073 will become the closest level of support.

A break below 1.3969 will form a bearish FZR of Daily 2. So the retracement will start wave C of Daily2. A rally along the major uptrend can be expected only when the price break above the MF pivot and sloping channel (as shown below).

As for the USD exchange rate, it should be noted that the U.S. T-bonds have gained value on expectations that the agreement between the EU and the IMF will help Greece to avoid default:

· 10-year bond yield lost 2 points declining down to 2.96%

· May 2021 bonds gained 3.125%

· Previously 10-year bond yield reached 2.88% (the lowest level since Dec 1^st)

· 2-year bond yield declined down to 0.34% (the lowest level since Nov 5^th)

The USD index is in the ISF (intersession flat). The price has formed the 2^nd peak 1.6116 = 62% А/В 1.6150-1.6061. There are 2 possible scenarios:

1. Another upward wave a(C )/C

2. A downward FZR 1.6091

Market Leader and Masterforex-V Academy would appreciate if you could visit the Academy’s forum for traders and investors and answer the following question:

Will there be the 2^nd wave of the global crisis?

· Yes, it will. It is inevitable.

· It will probably take place if there are no timely steps taken to prevent it.

· No, it won’t take place in the near future.

The Washington Post On European Crisis and Euro

Over the last few years, the word collocation “European crisis” has turned into a set expression. It’s been almost 5 years since it began. Europe seems to have suffered most of all form the global crisis. 2 years ago a new wave of crisis broke out, thereby turning into a severe debt and banking crisis in the EU and the eurozone.

Good news are scanty while bad news keep coming from Europe almost every day. Yet, the world cannot ignore it because Europe accounts for nearly 20% of the entire global economy. Even though everyone seems to get used to unexpected (sometimes shocking) and controversial news from the area, they are still worried about the destiny of the Old World? A complete downfall or a renaissance?

China is reporting about another epidemic of the so-called bird flu (also known as virus H7N9). It has already suspended the domestic poultry trade. Numerous markets are closed in Shanghai, Beijing and other big cities. Chinese bloggers keep posting shocking footage showing dead birds.

At the same time, top-ranking Chinese military officials put the blame on the USA. They say this is some kind of a secret biotechnological weapon developed and used by the Americans.

Russia takes urgent steps to prevent the epidemic from spreading over its territory. Russia’s chief medical officer urges people to abstain from visiting the neighboring Asian country. There are temporary limitations for those who arrive from China. Russia may eventually close the border with China until the situation stabilizes.

What is really happening in China? How dangerous is the current epidemic? Can the USA be involved?
Let’s try to answer these questions together…

The USA seems to threatening Russia not only with a shale revolution but also with a shale war. The North-American shale boom seen in the region over the last few years, has been treated as the end of Russia’s oil and gas industry. Everything started from shale gas, which allowed the USA to turn from an NG importer into a net exporter of this energy carrier.

Yet, US officials do not conceal the fact that they are going to use this trump card to free Europe from the dependence on Russian energy carriers. Now American observers and analysts are discussing the gloomy prospects of Russia’s export of energy carriers caused mainly by the shale boom in the USA and worldwide.

What is really happening inside the US shale industry? Is Russia’s export of energy carriers to Europe doomed? Let’s have a closer look at the situation.

Western mass media are actively discussing Russia’s external policies. There is a lot of information published on this topic recently. There are countless articles devoted to Putin and Russia.
If to try to sum up all the information on this topic, it turns out that there are 2 groups with different attitude towards Russia’s external policies.

The bigger group thinks that Russia’s external policies are unpredictable and may be dangerous to the West. Therefore, they urge Western politician to exert pressure on Moscow in effort to restrict its tough external policies.

The minor group views Russia as a potential partner, thereby calling its external policy rational and pragmatic.

The confrontation between the 2 groups can be considered on the example of an article written by Mark Adomanis and published by Forbes. It is called Is Vladimir Putin's Foreign Policy Unpopular? Not So Much.

These days it is difficult to surprise people. However, there are exceptions. In particular, Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Polish American political scientist, geostrategist and statesman, managed to surprise us.

Some 15 years ago, he used to diminish Russia’s role in the international arena, thereby calling it a defeated opponent of the West. This is not a long time in historical terms. However, Mr. Brzezinski seems to have changed his mind and attitude towards Russia and its geopolitical and economic role in the world.

In his recent book called “Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power” (2012), Zbigniew Brzezinski ponders upon the ways of uniting Russia and the West. Moreover, he tries to prove the inevitability of this process. He assumes that the world’s center of gravity is shifting “from the West to the East.” Therefore, the West will have to unite with Russia in order to avoid global isolation.

The West may well avoid the destiny of the frontrunner. However, it is necessary to work out a new strategy. The new strategy should imply the plan aimed at integrating Russia and Turkey into the international system of the West. This sounds strange if to consider the fact that this was told by a Russophobe and a Pole. This looks like a major change in his views. What are the real reasons behind his sudden love for Russia?
