1 Weekly Market Update 8 June 2015 Volatility continues to plague the markets Global sentiment remained hamstrung by continued volatility, courtesy of Friday's stronger-than-expected US labour report. Non-farm payrolls gained 280K in May, reigniting speculation on the commencement of Fed rate hikes. In the Eurozone consumer price inflation rose for the first time since November and the European Central Bank (ECB) President Draghi provided upbeat commentary regarding the progress of the quantitative easing (QE) programme as the central bank left its monetary policy unchanged. Greece has yet to strike a deal to unlock further bailout aid, leading to the postponement of last Friday s debt payment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the first nation since Zambia in the 1980s. Greece announced that it will bundle this month s payments to the IMF into one totaling almost 1.6bn, to be paid on June 30. Performance Global equities finished lower for the week with the MSCI AC World down 1.2%. The Dow Jones declined 0.9% and the S&P 500 Index decreased 0.7%, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was nearly unchanged. Over in Europe, the Stoxx Europe slid 2.7%, extending its lowest level in almost a month. Finally in Japan, the Topix dropped 0.4% last week for its first weekly loss in a month, while the Nikkei declined 0.5%. Within the emerging market space, emerging Europe was the worst performer, ending the week down 4.3%. In contrast, MSCI Latin America fell marginally by 0.5% while MSCI Asia ex Japan lost 1.9%. Within Asia, stocks in mainland China extended a solid weekly advance (SHCOMP: 8.9%) with the Shanghai Composite Index finishing above the 5,000 mark for the first time in seven years. Asset Allocation Equities Citi analysts expect continued volatility this year, as markets grapple with the uncertainty of monetary policy normalization. Credit Investment grade (IG) spreads have given up all their pre-qe gains. While Greek uncertainty and Bund volatility weigh on spreads, inflows are at an 18-month low. Citi analysts expect high yield to outperform IG. Rates European debt markets are now following the US QE as ECB QE has not so far created the squeeze in rates. Citi analysts maintain an underweight position in global sovereign bonds. Commodities Recent history shows commodities have held a tight inverse relationship with USD trends. Given Citi analysts outlook for renewed USD strength, they are neutral/bearish across many complexes near term.

2 Drivers and Risks By Market United States Driver: Market trends may be driven by earnings guidance; up to 49.9% in June from 49.4% in May. Also earnings guidance is showing a meaningfully more positive inflection after several months of declines. Meanwhile, Citi analysts expect steady and healthy rise in income to power consumer spending going forward. Risk: Citi analysts remain generally constructive longer term but expect volatility to endure whilst the jobs and bond markets could reignite concerns on an earlier than expected rate hike. Implication: Citi analysts continue to maintain overweights on Banks, Insurance, IT and Real Estate S&P Europe Driver: Citi analysts base case is Greece may to reach an agreement with its creditors before end June. The interim deal is likely to be conditional on the Greek government passing an agreed list of structural reforms through Parliament. Risk: Some uncertainty remains about negotiating parties ability to secure a comprehensive deal before the end-june deadline. A potential Greek government default, the imposition of capital controls, or Grexit are significant risks DJ Stoxx TMI Implication: Given the high priority currently being given to keep Greece in the Euro Area, there is room for some agreement, in Citi analysts view. Given Citi analysts bullish view on European equities, they maintain their buy-on-dips strategy. Japan Driver: The Nikkei survey on business investment shows large firms plan to increase investment by 10.5% YoY in By industry, manufacturers and nonmanufacturers intend to step up capital spending by 17.3% and 2.0%, respectively. If consumer spending continues to pick up going forward, nonmanufacturers business investment may surprise on the upside relative to their current cautious plans. Risk: Potential risks include: yen strength if hopes of an escape from deflation mount; and consumption tax hike in April Japan Topix Implication: Citi analysts overweight basic materials and IT, which may benefit from improving domestic and overseas economies. From a valuation perspective, Citi analysts underweight consumer staples and healthcare, where overvaluation concerns have not been dispelled. Asia Driver: In China, the Mutual Recognition of Funds ( MRF ) between the Mainland and HK has been approved, effective from 1 July Citi analysts view MRF as a significant capital markets liberalisation initiative, which could accelerate the integration of A-/H-markets, given easier retail investors participation in both A-/Hmarkets. Risk: Citi analysts are cautious about valuations in A-share given that price/ earnings of the Shanghai Composite is at 40% premium over MSCI China. The gap may narrow given ongoing A-/H-market integration process MSCI Asia ex JP Implication: In Citi analysts view, MRF is more favourable to the Hong Kong market because of its access to a bigger retail market; Mainland deposits are 15x deeper than Hong Kong. Also Hong Kong funds have longer track record and are more competitive than ones on the Chinese mainland. Page 2
