One response to “Markets remain fragile”

  1. James G. Lee, PhD, CFA, FRM

    Amanda, thanks for reporting Prof. Mark Kritzman’s cutting-edge work! I am reading their 2017 book, “A Practitioner’s Guide to Asset Allocation”, include chapter 16: Regime Shifts. To my understanding, there are three models/indicators: 1) Regime Shifts thru Hidden Markov Model, 2) Absorption Ratio, and 3) Financial Turbulence. With the high volatility of equity markets as we we have been experiencing since last week, I am wondering what their models/indicators are telling us this time? Also, what are the advantages of these models/indicators over implied volatilities (e.g., VXN for QQQ, VIX for SPY)? Would these three models/indicators provide earlier warnings and/or more accurate signals about upcoming market turbulence? If yes, how many days do these models expect the market turbulence to last this time? Thanks! James Lee, PhD, CFA

Time for a coordinated approach

The US Federal Reserve has fired its last round of ammunition, cutting interest rates to zero, in a move that continues to see it play from the monetary policy songbook. Some market commentators doubt whether it will be enough to prop up markets, raising the question of whether it is finally time for a more coordinated fiscal and monetary policy approach.
