The famous Market Bear Albert Edwards warns a “ bubble of everything ” in American actions and the prices of houses that could soon break out

• Albert Edwards warns against a potential market bubble of US action and housing.

• The increase in interest rates and budget concerns in Japan could trigger market corrections, he said.

• Edwards Publishes His Notes Under Société Générale’s “Alternative view.”

Albert Edwards of General Society, famous for calling the Bulle of Point-Coms which leading to the 2000 accident, again warns investors of a potentially painful dive.

In his latest note to customers this week, Edwards said that American actions and house prices are in a “bubble of everything” which, according to him, could soon break up.

Actions assessments are indeed stiff. The cyclically adjusted price / profit ratio is located at 38, one of its highest levels of all time, and the PE leakage and 12 -month PE ratios of the S&P 500 are historically high.

For Edwards, this is not going well with the fact that long -term interest rates have increased. The increase in long -term state bonds tends to weigh on stock market assessments, as investors can find attractive yields without assuming high level of risk on the stock market.

However, American actions have seen a robust rally in recent years, winning 78% since October 2022. High market assessments have maintained the market for estimated equity equity with low strengthening of the equity market. When stocks are less well assessed, they can expect higher future yields, and vice versa.

“It is remarkable to see how the US stock market has been able to maintain high assessments with high saloning despite the longer bond yields of grinding higher,” wrote Edwards. “I don’t expect it to ignore it much longer.”

In housing, Edwards said that the price / home income / income ratio in the United States has been practically stable in recent years following the Pandemic bump, while the ratio has dropped in countries like the United Kingdom and France.

“The United States is the only market on which housing price / income ratios have NOT Devalled since 2022 because bond yields have increased. Is the American housing market also exceptional compared to Europe? No, it is a nonsense and, over time, investors will say that they knew throughout, “wrote Edwards.

As for what could burst the potential bubbles of American actions and houses, Edwards said to look at Japan.

“In the wake of the coalition of the ruling party which loses its majority of the upper chamber, concerns on the bond market concerning the risks of budgetary and high inflation increases,” he wrote.

Buer inflation in Japan could mean higher interest rates and another Japanese Yen trade course, in which foreign investors have borrowed at a lower cost in Yen and converted into dollars to buy higher yield American assets. In 2024, the Bank of Japan increased unexpectedly, swirling world markets as liquidated investors of the assets they had bought with yen borrowed.
