European bond market is much larger than US bond market and European share market is larger than US stock market too..It was not like that for decades until a few years ago..And That was one of the major reasons why Dollar asset market was popular among Asians,the liquidity..The other major reason was that Dollar asset market was safe well away from political turmoils in other parts of the world,the safety premium..Those two major reasons are by and large a history now and European markets,both bond and stocks,are likely to be twice the size of those of US mainland in a decade or so..That is one thing we have to bear in mind as investors and traders..Large real money will try to park their long-term money in Euro assets adjusting their share of Dollar assets..It is a long-term movement which may last a few decades..And the rising size of Chinese and Indian stocks and bond markets on the world stage is one major factor in this game too for the next few decades..It is highly likely that even China alone will be the size US markets in a few decades..Add India to that dimension too..What we are witnessing today is a breakaway from the Brettonwood-2 on gradual basis..And that will be official when Rmb formally goes free floating in less than a decade..As of today,Dollar is still heavily overbought by cbs and individuals alike on long-term basis..Assuming those cbs adjust their Dollar holdings to the level of US share of the world economy,that is some 25%,we will witness the move of some 3 trillion Dollars moving from Dollar assets to other curreency assets..And that is only for cbs holdings..How many more trillions held by firms and individuals will follow the suit is a big question mark too..And as of today,US politicians shout for the devauation of Dollar at faster space while Chinese and Asians are trying to slow the speed of decline of Dollar..It is then no wonder that Chinese publicly anounced no more accumulation of Dollar assets on long-term basis while getiing into the business of more active forex management as of last week..One more step in the direction of free floating at some stage..The world will get serious adjustment of assets market and currency levels in time..And that will be obvious to anyone with open mind and reasonbly good eye-sight too..Fwiw.. |
