Brace for a 2nd wave of stock-market volatility that could be Lehman-like, says Nomura
Published: Aug 6, 2019 1:03 p.m. ET
Any bounce best treated as an opportunity to sell in preparation for the second wave of volatility expected in late August or early September
By MARK DECAMBRE
A rally in stocks on Tuesday may take shape after an ugly Monday selloff, but any rebound ought to be treated with a heavy dose of skepticism, and as preparation for the next wave of selling, warns one quantitative analyst at Nomura.
Macro strategist Masanari Takada, in a note on Tuesday, said Mondays tariff-inspired tumble played out as he expected, but he speculates that the volatility spike that Wall Street investors experienced, after President Donald Trump last Thursday announced 10% tariffs on China imports not already subject to trade duties, is nothing compared with what could be in store later this month or next.
Takada explained it this way:
The Nomura analysts says that part of the thinking behind his call is that a number of hedge-fund investors poured money into the stock market in June and July, as it was rallying on the hope for an interest-rate cut from the Federal Reserves rate-setting committee and the promise of more easy-money policy moves to come.
However, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell appeared to throw some cold water on the notion that a cycle of monetary-policy easing was in store for investors, describing a cut doled out on July 31 as a mid-cycle adjustment. Adding o that notion, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard told the Agence France Press that the Fed cant realistically move monetary policy in a tit-for-tat trade war.

Takada explained it this way:
Once the first wave of volatility has passed, global equity markets are likely to experience a spontaneous rebound. Contributing factors to such a relief rally could include expectations for a substantial rate cut by the Fed at the September FOMC meeting and stock purchases made by short-term contrarian investors. However, for the three reasons we spell out below, we would expect any near-term rally to be no more than a head fake, and think that any such rally would be best treated as an opportunity to sell in preparation for the second wave of volatility that we expect will arrive in late August or early September. We would add here that the second wave may well hit harder than the first, like an aftershock that eclipses the initial earthquake. At this point, we think it would be a mistake to dismiss the possibility of a Lehman-like shock as a mere tail risk.
