Market Rally Contains Hopeful Message for the Economy

21 August 2020

Dame DeAnne Julius DCMG CBE

Senior Adviser, Chatham House; Distinguished Fellow, Global Economy and Finance Programme
There are good reasons for soaring stocks, despite a seeming disconnect from the recession.

Among the many unusual features of the pandemic-induced downturn is the disconnect between depressed real economies and buoyant financial markets. This is particularly evident in the US, where output fell 9.5% in the second quarter while the S&P 500 index rose by one-fifth.

This may suggest a huge financial bubble is in the making, or at least a highly optimistic view of a COVID-19 vaccine and treatments. Another possibility is that markets have a better grasp of the economic dynamics of a post-pandemic world than most nervous consumers and governments.

Certainly, markets have been helped by central bank largesse. In March, major central banks reacted forcefully to the possibility of a serious credit crunch with lending guarantees and bond purchases. Such liquidity interventions soothe troubled markets, but they also raise asset prices — potentially into bubble territory. This partly explains the markets’ strength. But it may not be the whole story.

A closer look at market performance suggests they may be on to something more interesting. Compare the US’s broad-based S&P 500 equity index with the tech-focused Nasdaq 100. Since the start of the year, the Nasdaq has risen 24% while the S&P is up just 5%. In the S&P itself, it has been the dramatic rise of the so-called Faang companies — Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google/Alphabet — that offset lesser performances by the other 495 companies. This sharp difference reflects two forces.

First, the COVID-19 crisis has had vastly different effects on different sectors. Lockdown brought a sudden increase in demand for the technology services that enable home learning (with school closures), homeworking (especially by office workers), home entertainment (instead of cinemas and theatres), home shopping (instead of physical shops), and home deliveries of almost everything else, including food. The Faang companies benefited disproportionally from this surge in demand as their production is scalable. Much of it could also be delivered by employees who themselves worked from home. The rise in their share prices reflects this.

Meanwhile, other sectors suffered massively. In the UK, the overall drop in gross domestic product of 20% in the second quarter was led by a fall of 87% in the accommodation and food services sector, which was severely affected by government restrictions. About one-quarter of the UK workforce, according to official figures, was also furloughed or temporarily off work without pay during lockdown. The fall in the share prices of hotels, restaurant franchises and airlines reflects such factors. 

The second driver of rising markets is that they are forward-looking while economic statistics reflect the past. For example, that UK GDP shrank during the second quarter is less interesting to a financial investor than the fact that during two months (May and June) GDP expanded by 2.4% and 8.7% respectively. In other words, output troughed in April but recovery began in May and accelerated in June as lockdown restrictions were eased. 

It is likely that rapid adaptations by companies and consumers to the pandemic-supercharged trends are already under way. In Britain, the share of retail sales (excluding fuel) made by ecommerce rose from around 7% in 2010 to 20% at the beginning of 2020 — it has since jumped to more than 30%. 

One-third of those officially working from home meanwhile say that they would like to do that permanently, according to the Centre for Economics and Business Research, and many large companies have offered their staff this choice.

Even in labour-intensive sectors such as healthcare and government services there has been a replacement of face-to-face delivery with digital booking and screen-based consultations.

Still, while this may help some companies in certain sectors, it does not imply a smooth recovery for the whole economy. Rather, it augurs a period of disruption as new companies, new business models and new job openings emerge. If the pandemic has ignited a Schumpeterian process of creative destruction, that is likely to continue whether or not effective vaccines and treatments ever come. 

Governments should ease the pain of this disruption with supportive fiscal and monetary policies, but they should not try to slow it down. The hopeful market message is that one lasting consequence of COVID-19 may be the rejuvenation of productivity growth that eventually spreads far beyond tech.

A Brief on Message Bus Interface in PIPE

PHY Interface for the PCI Express (PCIe), SATA, USB, DisplayPort, and USB4 Architectures (PIPE) enables the development of the Physical Layer (PHY) and Media Access Layer (MAC) design separately, providing a standard communication interface between these two components in the system.

In recent years, the PIPE interface specification has incorporated many enhancements to support new features and advancements happening in the supported protocols. As the supported features increase, so does the count of signals on PIPE interface. To address the issue of increasing signal count, the message bus interface was introduced in PIPE 4.4 and utilized for PCIe lane margining at the receiver and elastic buffer depth control.

In PIPE 5.0, all the legacy PIPE signals without critical timing requirements were mapped into message bus registers so that their associated functionality could be accessed via the message bus interface instead of implementing dedicated signals. It was decided that any new feature added in the new version of PIPE specification will be available only via message bus accesses unless they have critical timing requirements that need dedicated signals.

Message Bus Interface

The message bus interface provides a way to initiate and participate in non-latency-sensitive PIPE operations using a small number of wires. It also enables future PIPE operations to be added without adding additional wires. The use of this interface requires the device to be in a power state with PCLK running.

Control and status bits used for PIPE operations are mapped into 8-bit registers that are hosted in 12-bit address spaces in the PHY and the MAC. The registers are accessed using read-and-write commands driven over the signals M2P_MessageBus[7:0] and P2M_MessageBus[7:0]. These signals are synchronous with the PCLK and are reset with Reset#.

Message Bus Interface Commands

The 4-bit commands are used for accessing the PIPE registers across the message bus. A transaction consists of a command and any associated address and data.

All the following are time multiplexed over the bus from MAC and PHY:

  1. Commands (write_uncommitted, write_committed, read, read completion, write_ack)
  2. 12-bit address used for all types and read and writes
  3. 8-bit data, either read or written

There can be cases where multiple PIPE interface signals can change on the same PCLK. To address such cases, the concept of write_uncommitted and write_committed is introduced.

The uncommitted write should be saved into a write buffer, and its associated data values are updated into the relevant PIPE register at a future time when a write_committed is received, taking effect during the same PCLK cycle. Once a write_committed is sent, no new writes, whether committed or uncommitted, and any read command may be sent until a write_ack is received. Also, it is allowed to send NOP commands between write uncommitted and write committed. 

A simple timing demonstration of message bus:

Message Address Space

MAC and PHY each implement unique 12-bit address spaces. These address spaces will host registers associated with the PIPE operations. MAC accesses PHY registers using M2P_MessageBus[7:0], and PHY accesses the MAC registers using the M2P_MessageBus[7:0].

The MAC and PHY access specific bits in the registers to: initiate operations, Initiate handshakes, and Indicate status.

Each 12-bit address space is divided into four main regions: the receiver address region, the transmitter address region, the common address region, and the vendor-specific address region.

Each register field has an attribute description of either level or 1-cycle assertion. When a level field is written, the value written is maintained by the hardware until the next write to that field or until a reset occurs. When a 1-cycle field is written to assert the value high, the hardware maintains the assertion for only a single cycle and then automatically resets the value to zero on the next cycle.

Cadence has a mature Verification IP solution for the verification of various aspects and topologies of PIPE PHY design. For more details, you may refer to the Simulation VIP for PIPE PHY | Cadence page, or you may send an email to support@cadence.com.
