COLUMN-Skipping A Year And Landing In 2021: Mike Dolan

2020-12-31T01:14:37Z

MazieHaggerty:

By Mike Dolan LONDON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Part of the reason major investors seem slightly weary about their rosy market outlooks for 2021 is that they have been talking about and planning for little else since March. It's like the markets effectively skipped over 2020 on a bridge provided by central banks and governments and have been gradually pricing a policy and vaccine-supported rebound ever since. Both are meeting forecasts so far. Despite the biggest contraction of world gross domestic product since the immediate aftermath of World War Two, global stocks captured by MSCI's all-country index are ending the year at record highs. Annual gains of more than 10% may be less than half the stellar rise of 2019, but they are still better than six of the past 10 years and November was the best month on record as COVID-19 vaccine breakthroughs accelerated a blistering 65% surge since the depths of the initial lockdowns in March. The unprecedented year has almost been papered over. Just looking at consensus stock market forecasts from Reuters polls for 2021 and those from a year earlier, you'd barely guess what we've been through. Twelve months ago, the consensus saw the S&P500 rising 5% by the end of 2020. This year, the forecast is for another 10% in 2021 - with some of the biggest banks, such as JPMorgan, seeing gains of almost twice that. Perhaps more revealing is that when asked how long the current bull market would last, less than 20% said "more than two years" in November 2019. On the assumption it did end for a very brief five month hiatus between February and August of 2020, then about 20% of the poll got that right. But this year, more than 30% said the current bull market would last more than two years. What's more, Reuters latest asset manager poll this week showed the positioning to reflect this as equity allocations have [http://www.wordreference.com/definition/returned returned] to pre-pandemic levels. But what of the much feared economic 'scarring' from the pandemic or hangovers from policy-induced sugar highs? For many, the latter is hard to envisage given the need for interest rates to stay near zero to service massive accumulated government debts, still dominant deflationary pressures and a persistence of spare capacity. And so rather than a 'last hurrah', the 10-year bull market may only have had a five month breather and is set to start all over again. NEVER BEFORE "Never in my life have I seen a recession where household income has actually gone up and disposable income has gone up," Aviva Investors' multi-asset chief investment officer Peter Fitzgerald told this week's Reuters Investment Outlook Summit. The shocking event, the [https://www.behance.net/search?content=projects&sort=appreciations&time=week&search=massive massive] support, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử ba vàng] the debt legacy and the interest rate implication mean investors are left with few other options than to overweight equity and risk, he said. "If you are a non-leveraged investor who is not going to be shaken out of markets, you need to have an overweight allocation to risk assets in today's world where the value of money is being degraded," Fitzgerald told Reuters. "You are at the early stages of a new cycle." Of course no one foresaw the pandemic, the lockdowns, the economic slump and the eye-watering 35% drawdown in MSCI's global index in the 27 trading days to March 23. And many sectors such as banking and energy stocks, as well as more than half the 17 national stock markets covered by Reuters polls, will end 2020 in the red. But if narrowly focused on equities and taking the broadest all-country benchmark, then it would hardly have mattered to the portfolio. And there appears little doubt about what's ahead over the next 12 months. All the issues underlying it have been thrashed out a thousand [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử ba vàng] times already as vaccines emerge and support programmes abound. That might suggest markets are already fully priced - but few fund managers think that either. Despite some conflicting surveys, data on household savings, money supply and money market fund data still shows substantial pandemic-related cash hoards yet to be invested as the reality of recovery, the vaccine rollout and a new U.S. president and administration have yet to play out through the year. Things can yet go bump in the night - persistent infections and lockdowns and ineffective vaccines, unexpected political twists, central bank and fiscal policy hesitation, or inflation scares. But these have been gamed continually by investment managers for months. A more serious shuffling of the investment pack on so-called 'normalisation trades' between lockdown winners of tech and pharma stocks to the 'value stock' laggards and cyclicals in energy, banking and travel and leisure will take up the time of many active managers. But even if things do normalise fully, no one doubts the big lockstep legacy of this 'skipped year'. The widest measure of sovereign and corporate bond borrowing costs - the yield on the Bloomberg Barclays Multiverse - has never been lower at just 1%. "Risk exposure to equities should be your preferred asset class," Sonja Laud, chief investment officer at Legal & General Asset Management told the Reuters summit.

MPs And Former Soldiers Reacted With Fury Yesterday To

MPs and former soldiers reacted with fury yesterday to [/news/boris_johnson/index.html Boris Johnson]'s failure to bring in laws to protect [/news/northern-ireland/index.html Northern Ireland] veterans from decades-old probes into the Troubles. Back in January, the Prime Minister promised to deal with 'legacy issues' within 100 days - but the Mail can reveal that plans for a new Bill have stalled. Critics believe the veterans are the pawns in a bigger game to keep Sinn Fein bound into the peace process, with one accusing ministers of 'bending over backwards' to appease [/news/republicans/index.html republicans]. Another ex-soldier said the delays to the legislation meant veterans feared 'going to our graves waiting for a knock on the door'. The Mail revealed yesterday how a new witness had come forward to back Dennis Hutchings, 79, who is facing trial in Belfast next year for the attempted murder of farmhand John Pat Cunningham, 27. The new evidence corroborates Mr Hutchings' testimony that he fired only warning shots, and that another soldier, now deceased, must have shot Mr Cunningham. MPs and former soldiers reacted with fury yesterday to Boris Johnson's failure to bring in laws to protect Northern Ireland veterans from decades-old probes into the Troubles. Pictured is Dennis Hutchings who is one of six veterans of the Troubles facing charges arising from deaths more than 40 years ago Mr Hutchings, soon to be a great-great grandfather, was twice cleared over the killing of Mr Cunningham, in Co Tyrone in 1974, but was charged five years ago. Mr Hutchings is one of six veterans of the Troubles facing charges arising from deaths more than 40 years ago. Mr Johnson first pledged to 'protect people against [http://www.groundreport.com/?s=unfair%20prosecutions%27 unfair prosecutions'] in July last year during his battle to become Prime Minister - and repeated the promise in January. But there is no agreement on the details of legislation and no date for it to go before Parliament. Tory MP Bob Stewart, who served in Northern Ireland, said: 'We want a Bill to stop servicemen who were investigated properly at the time being repeatedly harassed.' Former defence secretary Michael Fallon said: 'It has dragged on for too long.' Labour MP Kevan Jones, who sits on the defence committee, said the Government had 'failed' on its commitment. John Ross, a former Paratrooper who served 11 tours of Northern Ireland, said: 'The difficulties for the Government are the Northern Ireland office trying to keep Sinn Fein in the political system. 'That was done, they have appeasement through the Good Friday Agreement and the soldiers are the scapegoats.' The Overseas Operations Bill passing through Parliament offers protection to veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts, setting a five-year-limit to prosecutions. Campaigners want similar protection for service personnel who served in the Troubles.

A new Historical Investigations Unit (HIU) is planned as part of the Bill to look at unsolved killings on all sides during the Troubles. The vast majority of Army killings would swiftly be thrown out. But that could still leave many veterans in their 70s and 80s in limbo, waiting for the new body to be set up, to investigate and then rule if there is new evidence. Veteran Andrew Sayers, 65, now an activist helping veterans facing prosecution, said: 'Lives have been put on hold - it adds to the continual stress. 'It is still hanging over us after all these years and you don't know if something is going to happen or not going to happen.'

He said: 'If a person has been exonerated in the past, unless there is compelling new evidence, it shouldn't happen again.' A Whitehall source said Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis 'remains committed to bringing forward a Bill in Parliament to address the legacy of Northern Ireland's past'.

Former Royal Marine David Griffin was told several months ago that Northern Ireland detectives are still 'committed to reviewing' the incident in July 1972.

Now it appears his case is awaiting further direction, with the Government proposing yet another body to deal with legacy issues - the independent Historical Investigations Unit (HIU). Mr Griffin said: 'They pass things on and it's absolutely ridiculous. You're dealing with one and then another [body] contacts you and says, 'we have all the files'. It all starts again - this has been going on since 1972, when I was questioned 12 hours after the incident.' Before joining the Marines, Mr Griffin served in the Army, allowing him to move into London's Royal Hospital Chelsea. In 2012, he was quizzed for the second time by police over the death of an IRA terrorist in an ambush in July 1972. Mr Griffin fired his weapon to save his comrades after an intelligence warning that an Army barracks in north Belfast was to come under IRA attack. A detective inspector told him in a letter that he was 'unable to provide you with a timescale for this' despite the probe being in its eighth year. Pictured is David Griffin He has no idea whether it was his bullet that led to the man's death. Mr Griffin said: 'I was in a covert ambush position covering the main gate sentries. True to our intelligence report, after dark the enemy arrived armed with weapons for the purpose of attacking our company position.' Mr Griffin said shots were fired which 'immediately triggered all hell from all sides'. The next day he was interviewed by officers from the RUC and did not hear anything again until he was contacted at the Royal Hospital Chelsea decades later. Mr Griffin said he would have to be arrested before he would go before a non-jury 'Diplock court' in Belfast. 'If they want me to go before a Diplock court, they must come here to the Royal Hospital and take me by force and under arrest. But I'm not escaping anything. 'Take me to the Supreme Court with a jury of my peers with a choice of my lawyer to question me in depth on covert ops during the whole of the 1970s.' SOLDIERS THROWN TO THE WOLVES TO APPEASE IRA KILLERS Commentary by Colonel Tim Collins - Northern Ireland Veteran The hounding of Army veteran Dennis Hutchings, a 79-year-old grandfather and great-grandfather charged with shooting a man in Northern Ireland 46 years ago, is utterly shameful. In July last year, before he was elected Prime Minister or even Tory leader, Boris Johnson called for an end to these witch-hunts. 'Justice must be served but we should stop any unfair persecutions of people who have served their country loyally when there is no new evidence against them,' he said. A Bill has been introduced to limit 'vexatious claims' - the Government's words - against veterans. But while it might offer protection for those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, it does not help veterans of the Troubles. In July last year, before he was elected Prime Minister or even Tory leader, Boris Johnson called for an end to these witch-hunts So here we have Mr Hutchings, someone with 26 years of military service and now in his eighth decade, in the dock - one of six Northern Ireland veterans charged with crimes over events that happened decades ago. His case - highlighted by the Mail yesterday after fresh evidence that could end his purgatory came to light - amounts to a scandalous injustice. And it flies in the face of what Boris Johnson and veterans' minister Johnny Mercer have promised. I must make clear that I would not favour any move to put servicemen above the law, nor support an amnesty for veterans. That is what, incidentally, Tony Blair gave IRA terrorists and mass murderers 'on the run', in the form of 'comfort letters' which excused them from prosecution. <div class="art-ins mol-factbox floatRHS news" data-version="2" id="mol-93e19d10-341b-11eb-bb0b-ab49f5670fd5" website is STILL no action on a law to protect veterans of the Troubles
