Behavioral changes slowing growth over the coming quarters
Household sector
- Increase in precautionary savings for households, similar to what we saw after the Great Depression in the 1930s
- More space between seats at restaurants, cinemas, sport events, concerts, conferences, trains, busses, and airplanes
- Fewer people traveling on vacation and going out until we have a vaccine, all contributing to lower consumer spending
- Older generations staying at home until a vaccine is released, less willingness to put parents in retirement homes
- Limits on the number of people in supermarkets at the same time, more online shopping, more online doctor visits
- Fewer people going to fitness centers, doing group sports
- More people driving their own car to avoid public transportation
- Health insurance premiums going up

Corporate sector
- Less business travel globally, more video conferencing
- Staggered work schedules, more distance between seats in offices, fewer cubicles
- More permanent work from home solutions, more disaster planning
- Fewer buybacks, lower dividend payouts
- Health insurance costs going up, higher insurance premiums
- Increased pressure for paid sick leave, health benefits, labor protection, including for gig workers

Government sector
- Global restrictions on travel to and from high-risk areas, more fever scanners at airports, borders
- More regulation forcing households and corporates to hold, say, three months of cash in emergency savings
- More regulation and spending to ensure health care system is better prepared, a global covid-19 immunity registry
- Increased health safety regulations for retirements homes
- Stocking of medical supplies, including ventilators, domestically, a desire to be less dependent on other countries
- More systematic planning and preparedness, perhaps introduce better automatic stabilizers
- More supply of government bonds, increasing risk of a debt crisis

is based on extent to which the job requires the worker to perform job tasks in close physical proximity to other people. The corresponding scores are
defined as follows: •I don’t work near other people (beyond 100 ft.): 0; •I work with others but not closely (e.g., private office): 25; •Slightly close (e.g.,
shared office): 50; •Moderately close (at arm’s length): 75; •Very close (near touching): 100

The Credit Manager Survey (CMI) index, published is based on a survey of approximately 1,000 trade credit managers in the second half of each month, with about equal
representation between the manufacturing and service sectors. The survey asks respondents to comment whether they are seeing improvement, deterioration or no change for
various favorable and unfavorable factors. “’Dollar collections’ is one of such favorable factors. Higher dollar collections represent improved cash flow for the selling firm and the
ability of buying firms to pay.

MMT works until it doesn’t

MMT assumes that the Fed can purchase all Treasuries with no consequences. But
the risk-free asset is used to price all private sector assets such as the S&P500, IG,
and HY credit. Put differently, the result of the Fed buying all Treasuries – and now
also IG and fallen angels – is that the Fed ends up controlling all asset prices. As
a result, pricing in stock markets and bond markets no longer reflect the true
default risks of individual assets. And if prices of government bonds, credit, and
equity are no longer a correct reflection of the true default risk in these asset classes,
then it ultimately increases the likelihood that investors, including foreigners, no longer
want to buy any public or private sector asset in the country doing MMT. Looking at it
from the finance textbook, MMT assumes that undermining the assumptions
about what a risk-free asset is will have no consequences for the currency and
demand for private sector assets. As we know from history, countries that have
monetized their debt have not only seen consequences for government bond interest
rates but also for demand for private sector equity and credit, including from foreigners.
In short, if you assume that investors don’t care about whether the price of
Treasuries, credit, and S&P500 is a true reflection of the underlying default risks,
then MMT works. Or rephrasing the old IMF saying about countries growing
government debt levels: MMT works until it doesn’t.

If you use the services of Deutsche Bank in connection with a purchase or sale of a security that is discussed in this report, or is included or discussed in another communication (oral or written) from a
Deutsche Bank analyst, Deutsche Bank may act as principal for its own account or as agent for another person.

Deutsche Bank may consider this report in deciding to trade as principal. It may also engage in transactions, for its own account or with customers, in a manner inconsistent with the views taken in this
research report. Others within Deutsche Bank, including strategists, sales staff and other analysts, may take views that are inconsistent with those taken in this research report. Deutsche Bank issues a variety
of research products, including fundamental analysis, equity-linked analysis, quantitative analysis and trade ideas. Recommendations contained in one type of communication may differ from
recommendations contained in others, whether as a result of differing time horizons, methodologies, perspectives or otherwise. Deutsche Bank and/or its affiliates may also be holding debt or equity securities
of the issuers it writes on. Analysts are paid in part based on the profitability of Deutsche Bank AG and its affiliates, which includes investment banking, trading and principal trading revenues.

Opinions, estimates and projections constitute the current judgment of the author as of the date of this report. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Deutsche Bank and are subject to change without
notice. Deutsche Bank provides liquidity for buyers and sellers of securities issued by the companies it covers. Deutsche Bank research analysts sometimes have shorter-term trade ideas that may be
inconsistent with Deutsche Bank's existing longer-term ratings. Some trade ideas for equities are listed as Catalyst Calls ideas on the Research Website (https://research.db.com/Research/), and can be found
on the general coverage list and also on the covered company’s page. A Catalyst Call idea represents a high-conviction belief by an analyst that a stock will outperform or underperform the market and/or a
specified sector over a time frame of no less than two weeks and no more than three months. In addition to Catalyst Calls ideas, analysts may occasionally discuss with our clients, and with Deutsche Bank
salespersons and traders, trading strategies or ideas that reference catalysts or events that may have a near-term or medium-term impact on the market price of the securities discussed in this report, which
impact may be directionally counter to the analysts' current 12-month view of total return or investment return as described herein. Deutsche Bank has no obligation to update, modify or amend this report or
to otherwise notify a recipient thereof if an opinion, forecast or estimate changes or becomes inaccurate. Coverage and the frequency of changes in market conditions and in both general and company-
specific economic prospects make it difficult to update research at defined intervals. Updates are at the sole discretion of the coverage analyst or of the Research Department Management, and the majority
of reports are published at irregular intervals. This report is provided for informational purposes only and does not take into account the particular investment objectives, financial situations, or needs of
individual clients. It is not an offer or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any financial instruments or to participate in any particular trading strategy. Target prices are inherently imprecise and a product of
the analyst’s judgment. The financial instruments discussed in this report may not be suitable for all investors, and investors must make their own informed investment decisions. Prices and availability of
financial instruments are subject to change without notice, and investment transactions can lead to losses as a result of price fluctuations and other factors. If a financial instrument is denominated in a
currency other than an investor's currency, a change in exchange rates may adversely affect the investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Performance calculations exclude
transaction costs, unless otherwise indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, prices are current as of the end of the previous trading session and are sourced from local exchanges via Reuters, Bloomberg and
other vendors. Data is also sourced from Deutsche Bank, subject companies, and other parties.

Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor who is long fixed-rate instruments
(thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss. The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the
higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to
receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation (including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency
convertibility (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of profits and/or liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors. The
sensitivity of fixed-income instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in
emerging markets. The index fixings may – by construction – lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track. The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly
important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. Funding in a currency that differs from
the currency in which coupons are denominated carries FX risk. Options on swaps (swaptions) the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.

Derivative transactions involve numerous risks including market, counterparty default and illiquidity risk. The appropriateness of these products for use by investors depends on the investors' own
circumstances, including their tax position, their regulatory environment and the nature of their other assets and liabilities; as such, investors should take expert legal and financial advice before entering into
any transaction similar to or inspired by the contents of this publication. The risk of loss in futures trading and options, foreign or domestic, can be substantial. As a result of the high degree of leverage
obtainable in futures and options trading, losses may be incurred that are greater than the amount of funds initially deposited – up to theoretically unlimited losses. Trading in options involves risk and is not
suitable for all investors. Prior to buying or selling an option, investors must review the "Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options”, at http://www.optionsclearing.com/about/publications/character-
risks.jsp. If you are unable to access the website, please contact your Deutsche Bank representative for a copy of this important document.

Participants in foreign exchange transactions may incur risks arising from several factors, including the following: (i) exchange rates can be volatile and are subject to large fluctuations; (ii) the value of currencies may be
affected by numerous market factors, including world and national economic, political and regulatory events, events in equity and debt markets and changes in interest rates; and (iii) currencies may be subject to devaluation
or government-imposed exchange controls, which could affect the value of the currency. Investors in securities such as ADRs, whose values are affected by the currency of an underlying security, effectively assume
currency risk.

Unless governing law provides otherwise, all transactions should be executed through the Deutsche Bank entity in the investor's home jurisdiction. Aside from within this report, important conflict disclosures can also be

Backtested, hypothetical or simulated performance results have inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record based on trading actual client portfolios, simulated results are achieved by means of
the retroactive application of a backtested model itself designed with the benefit of hindsight. Taking into account historical events the backtesting of performance also differs from actual account performance
because an actual investment strategy may be adjusted any time, for any reason, including a response to material, economic or market factors. The backtested performance includes hypothetical results that
do not reflect the reinvestment of dividends and other earnings or the deduction of advisory fees, brokerage or other commissions, and any other expenses that a client would have paid or actually paid. No
representation is made that any trading strategy or account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. Alternative modeling techniques or assumptions might produce significantly
different results and prove to be more appropriate. Past hypothetical backtest results are neither an indicator nor guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis.
