1 WEEKLY INSIGHT November 14, 2016 Politics triggering major asset allocation shifts The surprising results of the US elections had also strong repercussion in Europe, with the Eurostoxx50 December exhibiting a wide 8% movement between the post-results lows at 2874 and the highs touched on November 10 at 3100 points. A break above this level (and better 3130) is needed to generate a strong bullish signal. On the downside key supports lie at 3015 and 2980 points. At the sector level, healthcare and financials were the major beneficiaries. Instead, energy, utilities and IT lagged. Also commodity had a divergent performance with oil and precious metals under pressure, negatively impacted by a stronger greenback and dissipating hopes of an OPEC production cut, and industrial metals grinding higher. The major looser was the fixed income market and government bonds in particular. Based on campaign speeches, Trump is seen as sustaining growth (via a cut in taxes and higher budget deficits) and adopting trade protections measures that, united with higher growth rates, could push inflation up in the US. This has therefore exerted strong upward pressure on US government yields, which has spilled over to Europe and the rest of the world (fund flows). EM assets have also suffered from the stronger dollar and the uncertainty linked to the future US foreign and trade policy. HY witnessed some spread widening, but behaved well than investment-grade credits. We stay cautious and prefer adopting a prudent duration stance and favor taking credit risks. We continue to privilege US over EU fixed income markets. We still like hard currency EM bonds, but are turning more defensive on increased uncertainty. A volatile week for US financial assets amid Trump s victory Last week has been one of the most volatile of the year on a surprising Trump election victory. The impact of this result has been strong on all markets from FX, bonds to equities. The S&P500 posted a 3.8% rise led Financials, Industrials and Healthcare while the 10Y treasury yield surged 40 bps above 2.2%. Also the USD appreciated against most major currencies, but the GBP. The biggest move came from the MXN down more than 10% over a few days. In that context, we recommended to upgrade our equity allocation from underweight to slightly overweight in order to benefit from the post election short correction (good entry point) as well as from the positive momentum which seems to get in place on US equities. In addition, for those still holding cash, the bond market is offering an attractive investment opportunity after credit spreads widened and the USD reference interest rates increased. This week, investors may look at job's report even if is unlikely to have significant implications on Fed policy revision. The probability of a rate hike in December is now more than 84% with a strong bias for a +50bps move. Asian currencies sank on Trump effect The market impact from Donald Trump s win over Clinton in the US presidential election has been surprisingly mild to the global markets. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slightly fell (-0.06% w/w) on mixed performance between the regions and currencies from export dominance nations sank as Trump vowed to restrict imports. The Indonesia s rupiah (-2.4% w/w) and South Korea s won (-1.8% w/w) have dipped to their weakest levels in more than four months while the Malaysia s ringgit (-3.4% w/w) dropped to its lowest since January. For China, while the yuan (-0.8%w/w) continues to tumble to a six-year low, the Shanghai Composite (+2.26% w/w) rallied for five consecutive weeks supported by commodity and construction companies as the economy continue to show signs of stabilization. The latest October s consumer price index (CPI) grew 2.1% YoY, up from September s 1.9% and ended previous drops in the past five months. The Nikkei 225 (+2.78%w/w) rallied on a weaker yen (-3.4% w/w) post US election which provided space for the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to reconsider its policy options on the Trump effect. Interest rates: move your body Trump s triumph should bring inflation back to the US, which seems to drive interest rates higher. The US 10-year spiked and is back to its beginning of the year level, a yield that is key to attract institutional investors and that puts EM yields under pressure. Indeed, the ishares EM Bond ETF has shed 5% over two days, offering an interesting entry point for investor willing to come back to this asset class. At the same time, as the Italian referendum get closer, the local market faces international pressure and Italian bonds dropped. The BTP 2026 (10 year maturity) is down 2.5% in two days, down 5% in a month and down 8% since end of August. 3.0% 2.5% Spread US 2Y US 10Y Period average Period average Spread Italy 10Y US 10Y 3.0% 2.5% 2.0% 2.0% 1.5% 1.5% 1.0% 1.0% 0.5% 0.5% 0.0% 0.0% -0.5% Source : Bloomberg, CBH % 1
