イギリス

Post-Brexit uncertainty will continue for some time. But we were already cautiously positioned, and would not go any more defensive.

Even if commodity markets are not yet pricing a higher probability of fiscal stimulus following the U.K.'s Brexit vote, we believe they will begin doing so in very short order.

The Brexit drama has moved from the realms of psephology into the realms of game theory. How will the game play out? And how will the economy and financial markets react?

The Brexit vote has ended the reflation trade, but does not represent a "Lehman moment" either. Stick close to benchmark in terms of broad asset allocation, and watch European bank CDS for signs that another financial crisis is brewing.

Rising policy uncertainty is negative for global equity multiples.

If the damage of the Brexit is contained in the U.K., the direct economic impact on China should be marginal. China's relatively closed financial system makes it less exposed to global shocks than most other countries. It is too soon to expect a policy response from the Chinese authorities just yet, but Brexit has pushed China's "balancing act" needle further toward stimulus.

Government bond yields will remain at depressed levels as investors stay in safe haven assets given the lack of clarity on the next steps in the Brexit saga.

At the margin Brexit only serves to reinforce the divergences in global growth that were already in place. Maintain duration at benchmark and look to increase duration exposure on any meaningful back-up in Treasury yields. Corporate spreads are still not attractive, but any Brexit related sell-off could present an opportunity to initiate a tactical overweight.

The U.K. vote is a major blow to the cause of European integration. Fears that "others are next" are likely to put upward pressure on peripheral European bond yields, potentially setting the stage for a self-fulfilling debt crisis. Risk assets are likely to recover some of today's losses over the coming trading days, but the risk to equity prices is now to the downside. Investors should assume a more cautious stance.

特別レポート

The people have spoken: they want the U.K. out of the EU. The political and economic uncertainty will weigh on the pound and European currencies, which will help the dollar. Commodity currencies are proving resilient, sniffing out a wave of reflation. The G7 gave Japan a green light to intervene. Buy gold in yen terms.
