Hendry said he is no longer fighting the ‘two-way feedback loop’ which is continuing to boost risk assets. That centres on the currency war being played out between the US and China, in which US QE prompts dollar-denominated investment to head to China, and China fights the resulting upwards pressure on its currency by manufacturing an investment boom – leading to falling US inflation expectations, which in turn prompts the Federal Reserve to loosen policy once again.”
