*** Will Britain follow the US into recession?

John Stepek, London

Dear reader

Just when everyone hopes there aren't any more skeletons in the closet, subprime pops back up.

Swiss investment bank UBS wrote down another ?5bn or so of US subprime holdings, on top of ?2bn written down in October. The group will now make a loss in the fourth quarter, and potentially also for the full year.

It will shore up its finances by selling a 9% stake to the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation and 2% to an unidentified Middle Eastern investor, for a total of ?5.6bn.

It's a good thing for wobbly western banks that foreign investors have so much money. And as the economic outlook darkens, there'll be plenty more opportunities for them to spend it...


The US is heading for recession...

A US recession is now seen as likely by Morgan Stanley. The normally bullish Dick Berner reckons that US growth will shrink by 1% a quarter for the first nine months of 2008, as a combination of housing market woes, the rising cost of credit, and weakening employment data result in the "perfect storm" for consumers.
The Johannesburg Securities Exchange All Share Index closed up yesterday, with the Alsi gaining 0.01%. The gold mining index jumped up 3.77% and resources shed 0.43%. Banks gained 0.77% and financials lost 0.53%. Industrials added 0.22% and the platinum mining index gained 0.12%.

London's FTSE 100 Index closed down 0.43%.

The Dow Jones closed 2.14% down and the Nasdaq shed 2.45%.

In Asia, Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index is down 1.94%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng lost 2.59%.

Brent crude was last quoted at $88.77 a barrel.

Spot gold is trading at $801/oz and platinum was last quoted at $1,460/oz.

British engineer FKI backed up the concern as its shares tumbled 17%, after it warned its sales would be hurt by exposure to US retail. Its parcel delivery, warehousing and baggage handling division, FKI Logistex, has seen sales slump on last year, as US clients delay orders amid fears of a spending slowdown.

In truth, the state of the US housing market is so bad, that the only real surprise is that anyone could have ever imagined that the economy (of which 70% is built on consumption) could somehow scrape through the collapse relatively unscathed.

...but what about Britain?

The big question is - what's going to happen on the other side of the Atlantic? Despite the Bank of England's loss of control of inter-bank lending rates, many people are still pinning their hopes on more cuts to see us through.

But even if more cuts would help, the Bank is in a very tight spot. Inflation remains worryingly stubborn, particularly at the raw materials end. Factory input prices rose by 10.1% year-on-year in November. That was driven by a 18.5% rise in petrol products, a 6.6% rise in bread and pastry products (the highest since July 1993), and a 7.5% rise in the cost of cereals Moreover, manufacturers seem quite happy to pass the costs onto retailers. Producer prices rose at an annual rate of 4.5%, the highest in 16 years.

The assumption is that retailers will not pass on the costs to consumers, as they need to attract customers in the run-up to Christmas. But this ignores which products are actually rising in price. These aren't luxury items we're talking about here - this is food. And shops are already jacking up food prices in response. British Retail Consortium figures for November showed prices rising by 4.3% on an annual basis, driven mainly by food price inflation.

Now the price of other goods - certainly in the run-up to Christmas - may not see a marked rise. Fear of a consumer slowdown in January, and increased competition for a smaller market may also keep a lid on prices of non-essentials. But you can bet that consumers will be feeling the pinch from higher petrol costs, bread and milk costs, and - despite the base rate cuts - mortgage costs, throughout 2008.

The British economy is also built on consumer spending - about the same 70% as in the US. With the own housing market starting to topple, it looks like the US is providing something of a grim road map for Britain to follow. As regular MoneyWeek columnist Tim Price says in the latest edition of his Price Report investment email, "a UK recession in 2008 looks like a done deal".

The question is will SA follow...
