Reaaliset valuuttakurssit sopeutumispaineessa

Transkriptio

1 Markkinakatsaus 17. joulukuuta 2012 Reaaliset valuuttakurssit sopeutumispaineessa Lyhyellä aikavälillä valuuttakursseihin vaikuttavat monet tekijät, mutta pidemmällä aikavälillä reaaliset valuuttakurssit heijastelevat suhteellisia henkeä kohden lasketun BKT:n muutoksia. Tästä näkökulmasta tulisi monien Aasian valuuttojen vahvistua reaalisesti. Japanin jeni on poikkeus, sillä maan hintataso on korkea valuutan vahvuuden vuoksi. Samaa voi sanoa euroalueesta ja jos euro ei heikenny, voi euroalueen kohtalona olla Japanin tie kasvun pysähtyminen ja deflaatio. Seuraava markkinakatsaus ilmestyy 14. tammikuuta Japanin deflaation taustalla jenin vahvuus Japanin yli vuosikymmenen mittaiselle stagnaatiolle ja sitkeälle deflaatiolle on monia eri selityksiä. Yksi usein ylenkatsottu selitys on valuuttakurssi. Japanin suhteellinen hintataso nousi kestämättömän korkeaksi 1990-luvun alkupuolella. Valuutan heikentyminen olisi korjannut tilanteen, mutta jenin itsepintainen vahvuus pakotti talouden sopeutumaan pitkälti hintojen laskun kautta. USA:n inflaatio on ollut melko hidasta ja Japani ollut deflaatiossa tai sen partaalla kuluneet vuosikymmenet. Viime vuosina jeni on vahvistunut merkittävästi USA:n dollariin nähden, minkä seurauksena Japanin suhteellinen hintataso on uudelleen noussut Yhdysvaltoihin nähden. Ellei jeni heikenny merkittävästi dollariin nähden, on todennäköistä, että Japanin deflatorinen kehitys jatkuu. kehittyneempien talouksien elintasoa. Kotimainen hintataso on yleensä matala maissa, joissa tulotkin ovat henkeä kohden matalat, ja tulojen noustessa myös hintataso kohoaa. Japani on ollut tässä ansassa jo pitkään. Muut alueen valuutat ovat myös vahvistuneet suhteessa Yhdysvaltain dollariin, mutta monissa muissa Aasian maissa, kuten Kiinassa, myös inflaatio on ollut USA:ta nopeampaa, minkä seurauksena valuutan reaalinen vahvistuminen on ollut kovempaa kuin nimellinen. Reaalinen valuutan vahvistuminen on luonnollista maille, jotka ottavat kiinni Handelsbankenin korko- ja valuuttaennusteet Keskuspankkikorot 10 v bondikorot Valuutat kk +6 kk +12 kk kk +6 kk +12 kk kk +6 kk +12 kk USA EURUSD EMU USDJPY Japani EURGBP Ruotsi EURSEK Norja EURNOK Suomi Lähde: Handelsbanken Capital Markets For full disclaimer and definitions, please refer to the end of this report.

2 Kiinan asukasta kohden laskettu bruttokansantuote on kasvanut huomattavasti nopeammin kuin USA:n, minkä vuoksi Kiinan valuutan tulisi reaalisesti vahvistua. Jos Kiinan viranomaiset eivät anna inflaation kiihtyä USA:n inflaatiota nopeammaksi, tulee Kiinan valuutan nimellisesti vahvistua, jotta reaalinen vahvistuminen toteutuisi. Yleensä vastaavassa tilanteessa nähdään näiden sopeutumistapojen yhdistelmä: elintasoa kiinniottavan talouden nopeampi inflaatio ja vahvistuva valuutta. Aasian maiden hintatasot suhteessa Yhdysvaltoihin ovat nousseet korkeammiksi kuin reaalitulot USA:n tuloihin suhteutettuna. Tämä kehitys on samankaltaista kuin muiden talouksien kohdalla on aiemmin nähty. bruttokansantuotteen asukasta kohden ovat hieman lähempänä USA:n tasoa, mutta niiden hintataso on huomattavasti korkeampi. Euroalueen neljän suuren maan suhteellisissa hintatasoissa on siis huomattavasti laskuvaraa. Reaalinen devalvoituminen USA:n dollaria vastaan voi tapahtua joko hitaamman inflaation tai nimellisen valuuttakurssin devalvoitumisen kautta. Yksittäisten euromaiden valuuttakurssit eivät kuitenkaan jousta. Aasian kasvutalouksien välillä on myös merkittäviä eroja. Indonesian hintataso on korkea suhteessa siihen, että sen BKT asukasta kohti on alle neljäsosa USA:n tasosta. Etelä-Korea on henkeä kohden lasketulla tulla bruttokansantuotteella mitattuna ottanut Japanin kiinni elintasossa, mutta on vielä kaukana Japanin hintatasosta. Potentiaali Etelä-Korean valuutan reaaliselle vahvistumiselle on siis suuri. Olemme aiemminkin korostaneet, että Yhdysvaltain teollisuudella on tämän hetkisillä valuuttakursseilla merkittävä kustannusetu verrattuna euroalueen kilpailijoihin. USA:n vientisektorin euroaluetta parempi suoriutuminen kuluneen 10 vuoden aikana on seurausta tästä. Suhteelliset liikkeet USA:n ja euroalueen viennin kehityksessä seuraavat EURUSD valuuttakurssia noin 2 vuoden viipeellä. Euroalue tarvitsee vahvaa viennin kasvua kompensoimaan aneemista kotimaista kysyntää. Jos viennistä ei saada vetoapua, taantuma jatkuu ja syvenee. Jos euro pysyy vahvana, riski Japanin skenaarion toteutumiselle kasvaa. Onko euroalue uusi Japani? Talouskeskustelussa on tuotu esiin huoli, että USA kokee Japanin kohtalon. Tämä ei ole ollut meidän näkemyksemme. Olemme sitä mieltä, että pitkäkestoisen talouskasvun pysähtymisen ja sitä seuraavan deflaation riski on paljon suurempi euroalueen kohdalla. Eteläisessä Euroopassa tilanne on jo paljon pahempi kuin Japanissa, eläväthän Kreikka ja Espanja jo suuren laman uusintaa, vaikka hinnat eivät näissä maissa laskekaan. Yhtäläisyys Japanin ja euroalueen välillä on verrattain korkea hintataso. Espanjan BKT per asukas on noin puolet USA:n vastaavasta, mutta hintataso on suurin piirtein sama kuin USA:ssa.

3 koronlaskuille. Uskomme EKP:n leikkaavan ohjauskorkoaan vielä kerran vuoden 2013 alkupuoliskolla, mutta sen jälkeen keskuspankin on turvauduttava kvantitatiiviseen elvytykseen jossain muodossa karkottaakseen deflaation uhkaa. Vuonna 2013 euroalueen työttömyysaste todennäköisesti jatkaa nousuaan, kun taas USA:n työttömyysaste laskee. Tämän vuoksi uskomme Yhdysvaltain keskuspankin Federal Reserve n kiristävän rahapolitiikkaansa aiemmin kuin EKP, vaikkakaan ei vielä vuonna Kun Fed päättää kvantitatiivisen elvytyksen, täytyy EKP:n vielä jatkaa rahapoliittista elvytystä. Uskomme tämän heikentävän euroa USA:n dollaria vastaan ja siksi pysymme näkemyksessämme, että EURUSDvaluuttakurssi ennen pitkää päätyy pariteettiin. Toisin sanoen EKP:n harteille jää sen estäminen, ettei euroalue putoa samaan ansaan kuin Japani putosi. Kuten Japanilla ja USA:lla, myös euroalueen julkinen velka on suuri, joten hyvin matala tai negatiivinen inflaatiovauhti aiheuttaa merkittäviä kustannuksia. Olisi paljon helpompaa päästä pois velkaloukusta inflaation avulla. Euroopan keskuspankki on tietoinen deflaatioriskeistä, mutta siltä loppuu pian tila Analyytikko, Jan Häggström, , jaha05@handelsbanken.se Päätoimittaja Tuulia Asplund, , 17. joulukuuta
