Quick Take

"Global monetary conditions have reached record restrictive levels across major economies, driving continued disinflation and economic weakness. Detrended real money supply contractions exceed Great Financial Crisis levels, creating excess capacity and falling inflation."

Executive Summary

Hoisington Investment Management argues that global monetary conditions have reached unprecedented restrictive levels, creating a powerful disinflationary force across major economies. The firm's analysis shows that detrended real money supply growth has fallen to record lows in the U.S., China, Euro Area, Japan, and U.K., with contractions exceeding even those seen during the Great Financial Crisis. This monetary restraint, combined with dramatically reduced velocity of money across all regions, is creating excess capacity and driving inflation lower. The firm expects this pattern to persist given the historical relationship between money growth and economic cycles. As a result, the Federal Reserve and other central banks will have latitude to cut policy rates further, and long-term Treasury bond yields will continue declining as they follow inflation lower. The firm views current conditions as supportive of Treasury bonds, with the slow-working but powerful effects of monetary restraint still working through the global economy.
