    By Marcus Dewsnap 10 Nov 2020

    So, we have a new President-elect team in the US. The incumbent. however, is not going quietly. He is set to continue challenging the election result until at least the certification process is complete (i.e. official results) - and this will take several weeks. There are some recounts, but these are unlikely to materially change the outcome. Trump remains President until January 21st and with that, the use of Executive Powers is still his to deploy. There is, therefore, a risk that he will use these over the next 10-weeks or so. The transition period is unlikely to be smooth.

    Macro Outlook Relies on more than Liquidity Infusions

    Macro Outlook Relies on more than Liquidity Infusions

    The macro recovery is not just about large doses of economic liquidity, but getting it moving around the economy at a fast-enough rate. The response of governments to the Covid-19 pandemic was not to create war time economies. Whatever the same governments may have said to describe the impact. The effect of policy was to demobilise and create what the Federal Reserve Chief, amongst many, called ‘unprecedented’ when referring to the depth of the economic contraction...
