Many traders will have one eye on the jobs report and another on bitcoin’s selloff this morning, as they ponder the year ahead. Wall Street has been cranking out 2018 outlooks, and plenty of them are super-wordy and conventional. So when a reflection on the upcoming year fits on a single page, it deserves call of the day honors. It’s Deutsche Bank that has circulated the list of 30 risks for markets in 2018 shown below. “They are in random order and are both upside risks and downside risks,” writes the bank’s chief international economist, Torsten Slok. “Think of them not only as potential VIX-boosters, but also as potential sources of faster or slower growth than what we have in our baseline forecast,” adds Slok, whose team has predicted real U.S. GDP growth of 2.3% in 2018. In their list of 30 risks, Slok & Co. warn that a bitcoin crash could hurt the confidence of individual investors. They are also worried about housing bubbles bursting in China, Canada, Australia, Sweden and Norway. Investors also might not be ready for even a small correction in U.S. stocks, as they “haven’t seen one for a long time,” the DB team says. On the upside, the positive impact from U.S. tax reform might somehow be bigger than expected, according to the giant bank’s economists. via
