Bill Gross: On the “Course” to a New Normal

  • If you are a child of the bull market its time to grow up and become a chastened adult. 
  • its time to recognize that things has changed and that they will continue to change for the next 10 years and even the next 20 years. 
  • We are heading into what we call the new normal, which is a period of time in which economies grow very slowly as opposed to growing like weeds, the way children do; in which profits are relatively static; in which the government plays a significant role in terms of deficits and reregulation as they do in Japan. 

DDR = Deleveraging, Deglobalization & Reregulation

As of now, PIMCO observes that the highest probabilities favor the following strategic conclusions:

  1. Global policy rates will remain low for extended periods of time.
  2. The extent and duration of quantitative easing, term financing and fiscal stimulation efforts are keys to future investment returns across a multitude of asset categories, both domestically and globally.
  3. Investors should continue to anticipate and, if necessary, shake hands with government policies, utilizing leverage and/or guarantees to their benefit.
  4. Asia and Asian-connected economies (Australia, Brazil) will dominate future global growth.
  5. The dollar is vulnerable on a long-term basis.
