Earlier this week, I had a dialog with UK-basically based entirely mostly fund manager Sean Peche the assign he touched on highly revered investor Byron Wien’s high 10 market surprises. Wien is ex-Morgan Stanley, Chairman of Blackstone Advisory Companions. Inspired by our discussion, I made up my solutions to forecast my like market surprises for the upcoming 365 days, with a specialise in South Africa. Regardless that many of Wien’s forecasts were intention to be prolonged shots on the time, his ‘surprises’ were staunch adequate to retain interest for 35 years; his predictions were first printed in 1986.
Wien’s market surprises for 2021 were, for the most piece, extraordinarily staunch. In the interview under, he finds to Bloomberg his 10 surprises for 2021, most of which came just. I’ve furthermore added Peche’s surprises for 2022 with a particular world focus.

Right here, I’ve penned my surprises for 2022. Decide it or leave it, speculation is no longer recordsdata…
The JSE All Allotment Index hits 90,000 (on the second 72,000). Led by multinational heavyweights, the trim-cap heavyweights will continue to salvage pleasure from a world financial restoration, benefited by a weaker rand.
US greenback/rand drifts to R20 (on the second R16). The explanations listed below are two-fold: the native financial recordsdata suggests no signposts of industrial restoration and I obtain we’ll watch a extra impregnable greenback across the board in 2022.
South African Reserve Monetary institution raises charges by 50 bps by 2022 (100 bps magnify anticipated); lack of reform and used financial recordsdata will mean Lesetja Kganyago will want to be accommodative in his protection … industrial and client self perception relies upon upon it.
Inflation (native and world) stays elevated, driven by a larger oil set. The oil set thesis is understated; nasty underinvestment in oil and fuel within the earlier few years has resulted in a offer/question imbalance. A shortage of offer and excess question methodology larger costs (easy economics). Regardless that we’ve considered commodity costs wane and present chain disruptions ease as the pandemic rolls over, larger oil costs will wait on inflation elevated.
MSCI World Energy Index will magnify 30% in 2021 and nefarious among the many most productive performing sectors in 2022. As highlighted above, in my cases of reconciliation, I revert encourage to the father of economics, Adam Smith, to recordsdata my funding suggestions. When offer is muted and question is abundant, the set goes up. My conviction in this respect remains steadfast.
MSCI Global Replacement Energy Index to tumble 30% in 2021; the must transition to a inexperienced financial system can’t be debated nonetheless sadly, at this level, renewables can’t generate the quantum of vitality desired to lift the lights on. Simply place, there’s a mismatch between fundamentals and valuation, created by too fundamental excitement and enthusiasm. I have confidence this birthday party will fight to lift the lights on in 2022.
Bitcoin goes previous $100,000 ($49,000 on the second).
Gold passes $2,000 dollars an ounce. as inflation worries linger.
JSE beats S&P 500 in 2022.
South Africa’s GDP order is muted (2.1% median forecast).
Loads to digest. Hundreds to ponder. Roll on the original week…
Be taught furthermore:
- The week that was: Omicron spoiling the Santa rally?
- The week that was: Shares on decrease set for Gloomy Friday?
- The week that was: Rivian $100bn valuation, Mining M&A… Santa rally?
