1 Markets volatile whilst economic data do not show any improvement Most equity markets ended the week on a higher note. The very significant volatility, however, makes it very difficult to infer from last week s market activity that the market has finally found its bottom, following the August corrections in the aftermath of China s devaluation decision. In fact, most economic data remain a source of uncertainty, as they have done little to dispel the concern of a continuing and deflationary global slowdown. Producer prices in China remained subdued, in line with a continuing contraction of the rate of growth of investments, and industrial production. In the United States one of the most followed consumer confidence indicators had a significant drop. All in all, a data-dependent Federal Reserve received more reasons for prudence, than for action. Luciano Jannelli, Ph.D., CFA Head Investment Strategy Tel: +971 (0) luciano.jannelli@adcb.com Rahmatullah Khan Economist Tel: +971 (0) rahmatullah.khan@adcb.com Federal Reserve might opt for a rate hike, but would do so with dovish qualifiers This week s economic data is at this point unlikely to significantly alter the case for- or against a rate hike already in September. The recent deterioration in financial conditions, as well as the not so good economic data, would however favour some rethink. On the other hand, the prospect of a rate hike in 2015 has been so well telegraphed and communicated by the Federal Reserve, such that the market is now widely expecting it to occur in December at the latest. This implies that the Federal Reserve might well decide to announce a hike already this Wednesday and then accompany it with a very dovish statement, indicating a path of very gradual further hikes not before 2016, and at any rate conditional on economic data further improving.

Whilst it is unclear if that bottom will hold in the near future, volatility has hardly come down. Implied volatility, i.e. equity option premiums, has come down, yet remains at levels that if prolonged - are compatible with a bear market. In the meanwhile, uncertainty about the Federal Reserve interest rate policy remains high, as it is for the prospects of growth in China, and perhaps in the United States itself Implied volatility down, but still at high levels to do so now, but accompany such decision with a very dovish statement, signalling that the next rate hikes would not be before 2016, done in a very gradual manner, and in any case only if economic data continue to improve. Such move could paradoxically remove uncertainty and boost confidence Financial conditions' deterioration pre-empts rate hike? Goldman Sachs Financial Conditions Index 0.0 VIX Index Fed uncertainty high. After the devaluation of the renminbi by the People s Bank of China (PBoC), the implied probability of a Fed rate hike in September has come from more than 50% to below 30%. The markets assessment of what the Fed is likely to do stands however in stark contrast with the expectations of the majority of economists, who according to the Bloomberg consensus poll - believe that the Fed will announce a 25 basis points hike on September 17. A partial solution to this conundrum lies in what both markets and economists believe, i.e. that in any case the Fed will hike rates in Indeed, the implied probability of the Fed fund futures for a rate hike in December is almost 60%. If a hike comes it will be with a lot of qualifiers. Clearly the financial conditions in the United States i.e. the combination of falling stock prices, widening credit spreads, higher market-based interest rates, as well as a stronger US dollar, have already deteriorated significantly, such that the Federal Reserve would not normally feel the need to hike rates. According to some economists, the deterioration of financial conditions in terms of its restrictive impact on the economy is in fact equivalent to something like three rate hikes (of 25 basis points each). We therefore suspect that the Federal Reserve is not so likely to hike rates, but since the markets anyway seem to anticipate a hike before the end of the year - it might still want Economic reasons for prudence still plenty. Besides weaker industrial indicators such as ISM manufacturing (51.1 vs 52.7), factory orders ex-transport (- 0.6% vs 0.6%) and manufacturing payrolls (-17K vs 12K), consumer sentiment indicators (Univ. of Mich. Sentiment 85.7 vs 91.9) also took a hit Market volatility affected consumer sentiments Univ. of Mich. Sentiment indicator and China slowdown shows no signs of bottoming In August industrial production in China grew 6.1% YoY compared to the expected 6.5% YoY, whilst investments grew only 10.9% compared to the expected 11.2%. It is reasonable to expect the China growth slowdown story to continue. We have always believed that the China stock market correction is more a reflection of China s economic woes, rather than a significant global problem by itself. After this latest batch of negative industrial production and invest numbers, the market might further correct. If this is going to trigger further market unrest on the eve of the Fed s decision, it will have even more reason to be prudent. Asset Management assetmanagement@adcb.com 2
3 Summary market outlook Global Yields Although Fed futures implied probability of a September rate hike came down, the US Treasury 10yr yield moved up slightly last week. We are heading into the Fed decision week and markets are largely divided in terms of expectations. This is likely to create volatility in the days leading up to the decision day. European sovereign yields are likely to be largely stable in the near term. Stress and Risk Indicators The VIX index moderated slightly over the week but remained elevated as compared to its recent levels (prior to the sell-off). The FOMC decision this week is expected to be an important event which will influence the index. Sovereign CDS spreads were largely stable with some further easing in Asian countries spreads. Precious Metals The gold price declined as global risk perceptions subsided further. Given that global risk is not completely off the table, it could benefit in the near term. However, we remain cautious on the precious metal. Local Equity Markets Despite a volatile week for the oil price, local equity markets closed in green last week. The recent support seems to have come from attractive valuations. If the oil price remains stable, the momentum could continue in the near term. The FOMC decision will also have an impact. Global Equity Markets Global equity markets gained last week. The Fed decision is going to be an important event for the equity markets globally. If China markets remain stable in the first days of the week, the Fed s decision whatever that decision will be might prove stabilizing. If the turmoil continues, the Federal Reserve might definitely renounce to hike rates in September. The latter scenario would not necessarily reassure the markets. Energy Energy prices are likely to remain volatile in the near term as the dust has not yet settled on which factors supply or demand are likely to prevail. We do not believe in a rapid return to the 60 US dollar a barrel level. Industrial Metals Uncertainty around the Emerging Economies growth, in particular China s, continues to weigh heavily on the industrial metals. Currencies Commentary Critical levels EURUSD GBPUSD A weaker set of data from the US combined with the upward revision of Eurozone growth in the second quarter supported the euro. Europe s single currency s gains are likely to revert as the Fed funds rate hike comes back under the focus. The British pound also benefitted with the weaker US economic data which led to the adjustment in the market expectations about the Fed hike in September. However, we think that it could give up its gains in the near term due to the same factors mentioned for the euro in the week ahead. R R S S R R S S USDJPY The Japanese yen behaved largely as a safe haven currency as it depreciated when global equity markets witnessed some rebound. The weaker set of economic data also helped the currency to move lower. It is likely to continue to move with the global risk perception and respective decisions by the BoJ and the Fed this week.
