1 FX & Markets Weekly Week 28/2015 DenizBank AG Economic Research and Development Vienna, Austria

2 Greece requests 3rd bailout Greece handed proposals to the Troika that almost matched the requests by international lenders that were rejected by Greek voters in the July 5 referendum. Hereby the government showed its last minute commitment to the euro area. But Greece, as well as other Euro countries need parliamentary approvals. Greece seeks EUR 53,5bn in 3 year loans that will be used to cover Greece s financing needs from 2015 to 2018, most of which are owed to IMF, ECB. Following this refinancing, Greece will be exclusively debtor to EU institutions. That s when the haircuts are expected to become true. This bailout optimism spurred bond and equity rallies across the globe. Lira climbs on declining oil The Lira extended gains this week, climbing the most among emerging market currencies. TRY extended its monthly performance to +4,26% against the EUR, and to +2,62% vs the USD. The Turkish currency gained and stocks rebounded as falling oil prices boosted prospects of an improvement in Turkey s balance of payments. Turkey which imports most of its energy needs has the 2 nd largest current account deficit relative to its GDP among G20 countries. Turkey remains one of the levered economies with close links to U.S. rates. Good news from Turkey was also the President giving mandate to form a government. Oil falls on Iran sanction relief speculation A potential nuclear deal between Iran and 6 world powers (U.S., China, France, Germany, Russia and U.K.) is in the making. Russia is pressing to end a UN arms embargo on Iran. Negotiations were in the 12 th day but remained inconclusive. An International Atomic Energy Agency report on the clarification of possible military dimensions of Iran s nuclear program will be ready by December. So earliest sanction relief date may be December However, already the news of such a possibility rattled oil markets. WTI dropped by almost 6% in a week extending its 13,3% monthly decline. On the other hand, OPEC s June output was 31,7m b/d, up by 340K b/d on the month as Iraq, Saudi Arabia and U.A.E. increased production to record levels. Chinese stocks rebound from sell-off Following the worst sell-off in 2 decades, that wiped out almost USD 4trn in market value, the Shanghai Composite Index rallied +5,4% this week. The regulator halted stocks from trading, banned IPOs, restricted short selling and allowed banks to roll over security covered loans. Also Hong Kong s Hang Seng index rebounded as companies were trading way below book values.
