1 Daily Global Insight Monday, November 14, 2016 Good morning Risk sentiment is mixed to start the week as growing conviction that a Donald Trump White House will deliver better growth and inflation exacerbates a sell-off in the bond market with futures on the S&P 500 oscillating around the flat-line in the pre-market. Asian bourses finished mixed overnight as gains in Japan (+1.7%) and China (+0.5%) offset losses elsewhere. European indices are off their opening highs but remain up between 0.1% and 0.8% at the midpoint of the session. Copper (+1.8%) is the lone bright spot in the commodities complex as crude oil (-1.2%) and gold bullion (-0.1%) trade lower amid renewed strength in the U.S. Dollar Index (+0.7%). Core government bond markets remain under pressure with yields on U.S. 10-year Treasuries surge 14 basis points to 2.29%, the highest level since January. Today, we would highlight the following: Chinese indicators point towards stable growth as Japanese growth surprises to the upside. The latest monthly economic indicators for China generally signals steady momentum for the world s second-largest economy, with industrial production growing 6.1% year-on-year in October (consensus: 6.2%), retail sales rising 10% (consensus: 10.7%), and fixed-asset investment increasing 8.3% (consensus: 8.2%). Today s data suggest that Chinese growth remains stable heading into the fourth quarter; however, recent reports showing a cooling in bank lending and property market activities suggest Chinese growth momentum could moderate in 2017 in the absence of fresh stimulus. In Japan, investors welcomed news of stronger-than-expected growth, with the nation s gross domestic product expanding 2.2% in the third quarter, well ahead of consensus for a 0.8% increase. Stronger exports in conjunction with soft imports contributed more than 1.5% to the headline growth rate, as Japan s economy appears to have regained some footing after a long period of subpar performance. U.S. earnings recession draws to an end. With more than 90% of S&P 500 firms having reported their financial results, adjusted earnings are forecast to expand 2.9% in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2015, according to FactSet, marking the first positive growth rate after five straight quarters of declines. Investors are anticipating the corporate profit outlook to brighten further, as expectations of better economic growth and a further stabilization in oil prices in the months ahead have driven consensus earnings growth estimates to 3.5% in the fourth quarter, followed by 11.4% and 10.5% in the first two quarters of Global bond market correction deepens. Growing optimism that Trump s policies will drive faster growth and inflation in the years ahead is stifling investor sentiment towards bonds. Trump s agenda of a massive infrastructure program, tax cuts and protectionist trade policies are seen as likely to boost the economy and result in higher inflation, which are negative for bonds. Yields on the benchmark 10- year Treasury bond spiked more than 10 basis points to an 11-month high of 2.29%, while the yield on 30-year Treasuries also soared 12 basis points to 3.03%. Prospects of higher interest rates against a backdrop of an improving U.S. growth and inflation outlook have in turn bolstered the greenback, as the U.S. Dollar Index moved above the 100-point mark earlier this morning for the first time since last December.

2 2 Global Insight Daily Monday, November 14, 2016 Markets today Equities Equity markets are mostly higher to kick off the week with S&P futures little changed ahead of the open. Meanwhile, government bonds continue to sell-off with the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury up ~10bps to 2.25%. Fixed income Government of Canada bond yields are 4 13 bps higher and US Treasury yields are 5 10 bps higher this morning. This move comes on the heels of a 30 bps increase in US 10-year yields that occurred last Wednesday and Thursday.

P Sentiment Hits 5-Month High The U. of Michigan sentiment rose in its preliminary reading for November, with job and income gains helping American s become more upbeat about the economy heading into the holiday shopping season. Respondents forecasted an inflation rate of 2.7% next year, up from 2.4% in October marking the largest monthly increase since February Consumer s expectations of inflation will be important to watch going forward, with bond market inflation expectations skyrocketing last week causing yields to rise across the curve. Source: RBC Wealth Management, Bloomberg The preliminary reading only includes 391 respondents from Oct. 28 th to Nov. 8 th and we will get a clearer picture of how a Donald Trump presidency has affected consumers attitudes on the final release due November 23.

4 4 Global Insight Daily Monday, November 14, 2016 RBC Wealth Management s Global Insight Weekly November 11, 2016 Special Post-Election Edition: New president, new possibilities - The Dow hit a new all-time high and the S&P 500 rose 1.2% after the election. Treasury yields soared. But there s much more going on beneath the surface. Our global team of analysts discuss the post-election market moves and sort through the possibilities. - U.S. Equities: Sector rotation setback - U.S. Fixed Income: Washington, finally, to the rescue - Will the U.S. dollar be Trumped from here? - Taking post-election stock of Canada - Europe in the age of Trump - Trumpian economics: Asia s glass half full or empty?

5 5 Global Insight Daily Monday, November 14, 2016 Technical corner Bob Dickey: Market Great Again The Dow Industrials were up 955 points last week, as the pre- and post-election results favored the type of large-cap stocks that make up the 30-stock index. For the rest of the market, the results were much more mixed with many groups moving in opposite directions, based on the perception of possible changes that may come under a new administration. It is important to keep in mind that the action and reaction last week was in large part an emotional response to the election, and may or may not be supported by the facts that come out in the future. As such, we expect to see further volatility in the weeks ahead and likely some additional sharp rotation between groups as the opinions evolve and change over time. However, we believe the trend of the market is up, and any few-day bout of selling can be used as a buying opportunity. We are encouraged by the strength that is being shown in the transportation and Health care stocks, and think that the interest rate-sensitive stocks are very close to some pullback low points.
