Their common predictors No. 4 is the Emerging Markets ETF EEM, denominated in the US dollar. Let’s examine the next-day prediction history under the 6 months outlook, which has been gradually weakening since September 2023.
Emerging Markets ETF EEM denominated in US dollar
The “synthetic position” below is directly taken from the next-day net prediction: if on a Thursday, the net prediction for the next day Friday is “60% of models predict up”, the synthetic, or on-paper position for that Friday would be calculated as 60% multiplied by a predetermined max risk limit in terms of the number of shares/lots, rather than a predetermined USD amount.
So according to tsterm.com, under 6 months outlook, emerging markets current behaviour feed back onto the currencies’ behaviour 6 months later.
The forward-looking implied inflation rate for 5-10 years from now may be expected to increase
If we search for the nominal and real 5-, 10-Year US treasury bond yield rates DGS5;DFII5;DGS10;DFII10, from the next-day prediction table
one may read
5-Year nominal yield rate: 50% of models predict up
5-Year real yield rate: 45% of models predict up
— about comparable, so the implied 5-Year inflation rate may stay at the current level.
10-Year nominal yield rate: 44% of models predict up
10-Year real yield rate: 4% of models predict up
— so the 10-Year inflation rate may go up.
If one scrolls down, we get to the table of latest values,
so
the implied 5-Year inflation rate (from now to next 5 years) is 4.7 - 2.27 = 2.43 percentage points annually;
the implied 10-Year inflation rate (from now to next 10 years) is 4.7 - 2.28 = 2.42 percentage points annually.
Maybe due to the high Federal Funds Rate, by today’s predictions, the inflation rate may be capped at 2.43% for the next 5 years; for the subsequent 5 years, it may go up.
