FADE THE REBOUND IN STOCKS AND BONDS - BCA RESEARCH
The rebound in European stocks and bonds is only temporary, according to BCA Research, which expects the carry-trade "blowup" to be the start before a more pronounced growth slowdown.
Europe's STOXX 600 index .STOXX is up over 4% from lows touched a week ago, when markets were fretting about a possible U.S. recession and the yen-funded carry trade coming to an end as Japan's currency strengthened.
Germany's 10-year bond yield DE10YT=RR, the euro area's benchmark, is up around 18 bps from its Monday low.
"Investors should fade the rebound in European equities and bond yields," write BCA Research analysts in a note published on Monday.
"The underlying trend in global growth is weakening, and central banks are unlikely to alter this downward momentum in time to prevent a recession," they say.
The firm says this will drag down earnings "significantly" and expects European earnings to decline between 10%-18%, with a central tendency near 14%.
Turning to bonds, BCA says the big move in yields off their lows was down to a decline in risk sentiment, but with growth set to worsen, they see more rate cuts than priced by the market next year.
"Such dovish surprises portend a rally in German bonds," BCA says. Bond prices move inversely with yields.
