Informe de inversión trimestral – 2T 2022

Al inicio de 2022 se generó optimismo al levantarse los confinamientos impuestos por la Covid y cuando los mercados financieros comenzaron a anticipar la liberación de la demanda reprimida una vez que la economía mundial salió de la pandemia. Desde entonces una maldición bíblica liderada por guerras, hambrunas, pestilencia y muerte ha ahogado este sentimiento, con el consiguiente varapalo de los activos financieros. Ha sido especialmente atípico ver cómo los mercados de renta fija y renta variable registran caídas al unísono. Durante los últimos cuarenta años cada vez que las Bolsas se tambaleaban, el mercado de renta fija ofrecía un refugio seguro, pero a partir de máximos récord. Ahora, con la llegada de una inflación mucho más alta de lo esperado, los bonos se han desplomado. La renta variable ha entrado en un terreno bajista, pero el mal comportamiento de los índices ha ocultado el daño real que se ha sufrido. Muchas acciones han perdido más del 60% de su valor, un declive del que son responsables tres sucesos inesperados. Primero, la inflación, que supuestamente iba a ser transitoria, ha resultado más persistente, lo que ha provocado un brusco aumento de los rendimientos de los bonos, dando lugar a una de las subidas más rápidas de los tipos hipotecarios de la historia. Segundo, China no ha concluido su dura política contra el ómicrom, lo que ha llevado a imponer confinamientos totales en Shanghái durante varios meses y otros tantos parciales en Pekín. Durante casi todo este año alrededor de un cuarto de la economía de China se ha visto afectada, lo que ha agravado los problemas de abastecimiento que se habían desatado en los últimos dos años. Tercero, la invasión a gran escala de Ucrania por parte de Rusia propició que escasearan numerosos productos básicos de consumo, casi de un día para otro. Casi lo único bueno que puede decirse sobre la situación de Ucrania es que de momento se han evitado los peores escenarios; no obstante, la enorme crisis de abastecimiento que supuso perder al mayor productor de energía, metales industriales y materias primas agrícolas del mundo justo en un momento en que el mundo lidiaba con la desglobalización y el fin del despilfarro macroeconómico, se combinaron para generar considerables presiones inflacionistas. Como consecuencia de esto, todas las grandes economías se enfrentan a la desagradable opción de aceptar niveles de inflación mucho más altos o imponer políticas monetarias y fiscales mucho más estrictas respecto a las que prevalecieron en el periodo posterior a 2008, lo que en la mayoría de los casos significa entrar en recesión. La incertidumbre que genera esta situación ha puesto nerviosos a los mercados, y es improbable que recuperen el tono hasta que se aclare qué decisiones van a tomar los responsables políticos.
