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.,

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.

Top 18 questions for markets
The economy
1. How will different reopening strategies and very different levels of unemployment impact the shape of the recovery?
2. Many consumers and corporates have missed payments on debt on April 1 and May 1, what will happen if many also
miss payments on June 1, and higher 90-day delinquency rates begin to trigger a wave of defaults?
3. The current deep recession will result in disinflation over the coming years, are there any valid arguments for inflation?
4. What behavioral changes will we see from consumers over the coming quarters?
5. What behavioral changes will we see from corporates over the coming quarters?
6. What behavioral changes will we see from banks and private buyers of corporate credit over the coming quarters?
7. What are the risks that the current liquidity crisis will turn into a solvency crisis?
The future
14. What are the policy options for fiscal policy and central banks if we get a second wave of infections?
15. Will we see new rules and regulations for households, small businesses, large businesses, and financial services?
16. What are the geopolitical consequences for the relationship between the US, Europe, and China?
17. What will happen when Fed Chair Powell’s term ends in February 2022, this has to be decided in 2021?
18. COVID-19 and the associated fiscal policy response have magnified income inequality, wealth inequality, and health
care inequality even further, what are the political consequences of these multi-decade trends accelerating?

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.

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-

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.

the research should consider any product disclosure statement, prospectus or other applicable disclosure document before making any decision about whether to acquire the product. In preparing this report,
the primary analyst or an individual who assisted in the preparation of this report has likely been in contact with the company that is the subject of this research for confirmation/clarification of data, facts,
statements, permission to use company-sourced material in the report, and/or site-visit attendance. Without prior approval from Research Management, analysts may not accept from current or potential

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.
