有人能谈一下sub prime mortgage meltdown的影响么?如果对美国房价造成持续的冲击,使得asset price继续下降。除了对property,CDO,mortgage backed security市场造成较大的影响外,会通过何种途径对整个经济造成影响呢?
现在的说法是,housing price的下降,使公众觉得less wealthy,而停止消费,从而使得经济进入vicious cycle。这个虽然有可能,但是我觉得在目前的状况下,这个并不太令人信服。最近的经济数据还是很好,是不是能影响到A paper也很难说,还看不出如何能够影响到其他经济层面。
1987年股市虽然无预警单日下跌,但是马上开始反弹,到1989年就完全恢复了。从那以后有许多机制防范道指一日内大跌。我个人觉得除非是经济fundemantally出了问题(目前看来似乎并非如此),应该不至于出现很糟糕的情况。。。
the views i heard these days
1) higher borrowing cost (wider credit spread) which has two implications
1.1 less M&A, LBO. M&A and LBO has been helpful in supporting the stock market
1.2 tougher biz environment for most business which is also negative
2) i-banks prefer, and most of them have, lean balance sheets. If they encounter major losses bcuz of their exposure to Credit related instruments, there is a posibility that they have to liquidate other instruments like investments in high-quality stocks or carry trades in order to get more cash to meet all cash outflow obligations. This will add further downside pressure to stock market, especially the emerging market
