Kahan Consulting Ltd. Election 2016 Surprise: Sam Kahan REIA November 17, 2016 Kahan Consulting Ltd. │P: 773.809.4697 │ E:kahan.sam@gmail.com
Thoughts: The Day After Election I • Likely Outcome • Lower taxes • Fewer regulations• Higher spending, especially on infrastructure • Foreign trade less liberal especially China and Mexico• Restrictions on foreign immigration • Likely Consequences • Faster inflation• Higher interest rates and steeper yield curve • Weaker FX dollar• Wider US budget deficit and US outstanding debt • Increased role for fiscal vis-à-vis monetary policy • Possible Consequences • Economic Growth: unchanged or stronger. • Federal Reserve more assertive or not • Flatter yield curve or not
Thoughts: The Day After Election II • Sectoral Impacts • Positive: Defense, Real Estate, Energy, Pharma, Transportation. • Negative: Alternative energy, trade, commodities • Manufacturing: + output (maybe); + employment (not likely) • Implementation not immediate; 2018 or 2019 likely • Political Dimension • Republicans control legislative and executive branches What of Internecine conflicts? • Democrats: opponents or “loyal opposition”? • Frank-Dodd and other legislation? • Trump Administration does not start until January 20, 2017.
Election and Markets So far, markets have emphasized the positives and downplayed, (ignored) the negatives
