The Surge In ST Rate Could Lead To Further Deceleration in Economic Activity

CZECHIA
  • We have seen that recession risks have risen in Czech Republic with 2Y10Y yield inverting in the end of October.
  • In addition, the sharp tightening in financial conditions with the surge in ST rates is also pricing in a significant deceleration in the economic activity.
  • This chart shows that the 2-year change in the Czech 2Y yield has strongly led the industrial production by 6 months (proxy for economic growth).
  • The divergence we saw in 2016/2017 was 'offset' by the significant increase in Chinese liquidity (i.e. 'reflation' trade).
  • With liquidity contracting in China and decelerating strongly in DM economies, risks are skewed to the downside.
