1 Investment Research General Market Conditions 10 September 2015 Market Movers Market overview In the UK, we get the rate decision of the Bank of England s MPC and minutes from the August policy meeting at the same time. We expect the Bank Rate and the stock of purchased assets to remain unchanged at 0% and GBP375bn, respectively. The BoE was more dovish than expected at the August meeting and we expect another 8-1 split vote in favour of keeping the Bank Rate unchanged against raising it. S&P500 (close) S&P500 fut (chng from close) Nikkei Hang Seng :00 07:30, bp US 2y gov US 10y gov Jobless claims data in the US have generally been solid with initial jobless claims fluctuating around the K level since May. Last week showed an increase to 282K but according to the labour department, volatility can be higher in the back to school period. Hence we could see some payback today. Continuing claims have also been stable around low levels since May and consensus looks for a continuation of this. For more details on today s inflation day in Scandi markets see page 2. Selected Market News Risk sentiment in financial markets took a setback in late US trading and Asia this morning amid renewed worries as to whether the Federal Reserve will hike rates in a week s time. Early this summer the September meeting was the consensus time for rate liftoff but since then not least emerging markets jitters in August have postponed markets expectations. In the past days implied market probabilities for a Fed hike have risen some bp to a roughly 1/3 implied probability for a September Fed hike. It remains our macroeconomists call that the Fed will not hike rates until the December meeting. In China CPI figures for August surprised to the upside showing a yearly gain of 2.0% (consensus 1.8%). Meanwhile, PPI figures from not only China but also Japan surprised to the downside showing a continued decline in producer prices of 5.9% y/y and 3.6%, respectively. The divergence in inflation measures complicates the Chinese policy decision making considerably, as savers face a lower real rate while manufacturers see their profits eroded by lower sales prices. Yesterday the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) cut the Official Cash Rate target for the third consecutive meeting amid lower growth and inflation. In the statement Governor Wheeler more than lived up to dovish market expectations by stating that further easing seems likely and that further NZD depreciation is appropriate.

The accompanied policy statement was very balanced and suggested that Governor Poloz is comfortable remaining sidelined for now post the two rate cuts earlier in the year. In Australia, labour market statistics surprised to the upside with a rise in employment of 17.4K (consensus +5K) sending the unemployment rate down 0.1pp to 6.2%.

2 Scandi Markets Denmark. We estimate that Danish CPI inflation remained at 0.7% y/y in August. The unexpectedly high inflation in July was primarily caused by food, clothes and financial services. We should see at least some reversal from food and clothes but the hike in financials in July will likely remain in the y/y data until July next year. The August number will be dragged down strongly by gasoline but there is a significant basis effect in the other direction from the fall in day-care prices in August last year. We are also beginning to see the negative basis effect from the gradual decline in soft drinks and beer following the tax cut in July Norway. Inflation has been much higher than expected over the past two months, driven largely by higher prices for imported goods. With the NOK exchange rate for imports falling more than 8% since May, there is reason to believe this trend will accelerate towards the end of the year. Nevertheless, we expect the effect to be only moderate in the August data, as there is a time lag of six to nine months before prices in stores are affected. Therefore, we expect the annual rate of growth in core inflation to be unchanged at 2.6% y/y, below consensus (2.8%). However, we stress that there is extreme uncertainty in August, with significant monthly fluctuations historically. Whatever the outcome, we do not expect Norges Bank to attach that much importance to these figures at its September rate-setting meeting, as the downside risk from the lower oil price is likely to dominate. Sweden. For once, we are actually more concerned about the core-measure, CPIF ex Energy, which will indicate if it is we, or the Riksbank that has it right on prospects for price hikes on fall collections and continued high prices on air line tickets etc. On the headline numbers CPI/CPIF we are in line with the Riksbank, which is a notch below market consensus. Keep your fingers crossed! Fixed Income Markets Main focus in the European government bond market is on the Italian auction. The Italian Tesoro is launching a new 7Y benchmark (BTPS 1.45% 22) as well as tapping in 3Y benchmark (BTPS 0.25% 18) and the 30Y benchmark (BTPS 3.25% 46). It is selling almost EUR8bn, with 4bn in the new 7Y benchmark, which means it will have funded almost 70% of the funding requirement for 2015, in line with previous years. The BTPS 3.25% 46 looks a bit expensive against BTPS 4.75% 44 at an almost flat spread but has traded below -10bp. However, given the strong demand at the new syndicated deal from Belgium on Wednesday, when the Belgian debt office sold EUR4bn in a 23Y bond, we expect a solid demand for the 30Y BTPS. Bid-to-cover at the German Bund auctions is still at the low end of the historical range as it was only 1.2 at Wednesday's tap auction in the DBR 1% Aug-25. However, there is typically a slowdown in the bid-to-cover in the Bund auctions from September through November as a result of the surge in issuance of substitute assets such as the syndicated deal from Belgium etc. US S&P500 future Tue Wed Thu Mon Tue Thu US 10y gov yield Tue Wed Thu Fri Wed Global FX EUR/USD (LHS) USD/JPY (RHS) Tue Wed Fri Mon Tue Thu Scandi FX EUR/SEK (LHS) EUR/NOK (RHS) Tue Wed Fri Mon Tue Thu Finally, Ireland is tapping EUR 1bn in the IRISH 2.4% 2030 bond. We have been long this bond against Belgium since the start of the year. The spread has bounced back and forth during 2015 but we still have healthy profit and look for more potential as we expect Ireland to be upgraded to single-a by Moody s at the upcoming rating review on Friday due to the strong performance of the Irish economy September
3 FX Markets Focus in FX markets today will turn to the GBP and the Scandies amid a new Super Thursday in the UK and the big inflation day in Scandinavia. Regarding the GBP, we do not expect any significant moves today if we are right in Bank of England delivering a balanced-to-cautious message and a 8-1 vote like in August. Markets will, however, dissect comments and the committee rhetoric on the inflation outlook, GBP strength and not least the financial market uncertainty that has been the dominating market theme since the last decision in early August. As of now, we stick to our view that February is the most likely month for rate lift-off. In the Scandies we have below-consensus calls for inflation prints in Norway and Sweden and consequently expect both the SEK and the NOK to come under pressure today. With respect to the SEK we still regard the EUR/SEK range to constitute the boundaries for the cross in the coming month, based on relative fundamentals (topside) and Riksbank fears of too strong a SEK (downside). Yesterday s quarterly Prospera survey of labour market inflation expectations showed little change relative to the last quarter. If anything, note that the 5Y inflation expectations dropped to 1.69% - the lowest level since If we are right in our call on Swedish inflation print today it will add further support to our call that the Riksbank eventually will have to cut the repo rate by an additional 10bp and possibly introduce other policy measures as well before year-end.
