3 Risks of trading futures and swaps Neither futures trading nor swaps trading are suitable for all investors, and each involves the risk of loss. Swaps trading should only be undertaken by investors who are Eligible Contract Participants (ECPs) within the meaning of Section 1a(18) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Futures and swaps each are leveraged investments and, because only a percentage of a contract s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited for either a futures or swaps position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles and only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because traders cannot expect to profit on every trade. 3

5 Seven global game-changers 1. Global growth edging upward in 2015, China still decelerating into the 2020s 2. Commodity price weakness for how long? 3. A Fed rate-rise decision on the horizon? 4. Corporate earnings, low inflation, and equity market volatility 5. ECB bank stress tests and asset purchases 6. FX markets in motion 7. Political risks in play 5
6 Global growth in 2015 Scenario #1 (70%) US labor markets continue to improve, Europe starts to grow slowly after ECB stress tests, China s deceleration continues but growth still close to 7%, India and Brazil see modestly better growth. Commodity prices stabilize at lower levels. Global growth picks up modestly. Fed raises its federal funds rate target range. Scenario #2 (30%) Geo-political tensions and uncertainties take their toll. Commodity prices continue to weaken. Europe maintains fiscal austerity despite IMF and ECB calls for fiscal assistance. Gridlock in the US Congress keeps fiscal policy tight. Global growth slows. Fed delays raising rates, sending a negative lack of confidence message to equity markets. 6

8 Three reasons why China is decelerating (it is a natural process) Diminishing returns from new infrastructure development China posted three decades of 10% annual average real GDP growth based on a rapid modernization program with massive infrastructure spending. Diminishing returns are now occurring for any new investments. Rural to Urban Migration China has experienced a massive migration of 15 million people a year moving from rural to urban areas. This migration supports GDP growth, but as it slows in the next decade the lift the economy gets from this factor will eventually disappear. Aging Demographic Pattern The one-child policy stopped population growth, but it also created a evolution toward a higher average age. As the percent of people over 65 increases, consumption demand per person slows in every sector but health care. 8

11 Commodity price weakness Supply Higher prices from the growth years along with technological advances, has brought more supply. We may have entered a period of secular price weakness in a broad selection of commodities. Demand Slower global growth in 2013 and 2014, especially from a weak Europe and decelerating China, has exacerbated the supply-driven weakness in commodity prices. Global Growth A healthy US economy, leading to incrementally improving global growth with only mild further deceleration in China suggests the possibility of commodity prices stabilizing at lower levels in

15 Scenarios for US oil and natural gas are diverging Oil US oil production continues to rise, while consumption falls with more fuel efficient vehicles (oil is used 70% for transportation). The result is less US imports of crude oil and more US exports of refined petroleum products. While in Europe, demand is falling with a weak economy, and North See production is declining. The market impact is to erase the premium of Brent over WTI, and to put downward pressure on oil prices globally despite geo-political tensions. Natural Gas Production growth may decelerate. Consumption demands appear to be accelerating, including more electrical generation from natural gas and increased exports. Large price differentials with Europe and Japan remain. Longer-term fundamentals suggest the potential for natural gas prices to rise relative to crude oil prices, which (if it happens) would reduce the energy efficiency advantage of natural gas over oil. 15

24 Scenarios for Fed decision to raise rates and possible bond market reactions Scenario #1 US labor markets continue to improve while core inflation remains below the Fed s 2% target rate. Fed pushes short-term rates higher in 1H/2015 halting the rate rise by year-end at 1% federal funds rate. Since no inflation pressure, the yield curve flattens. (60%) Scenario #2 US labor markets continue to improve and core inflation rises above 2% year over year rate, and inflation expectations rise for the years ahead. Fed pushes short-term rates higher. With some inflation pressure, the Fed is perceived as being behind the game, and the yield curve rises in parallel across the maturity spectrum. (20%) Scenario #3 Global economy hits a rough patch and slows US growth and reduces global inflation expectations with some fears of deflation for Europe and Japan. The Fed stays on hold. US Treasuries may rally and yields move lower. (20%) 24

33 Why has a $4.5 trillion Fed balance sheet not led to more inflation? (#1 of 2) What is Money? With credit cards, check-writing on asset management accounts, interest on bank checking accounts, e-commerce, electronic payments and transfers, there is no longer a definition of money that reliably correlates with inflation as it did in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Credit Channel has structurally changed As financial institutions have become more sophisticated in their risk management and also more highly regulated, the link from the Fed s balance sheet to credit expansion has been structurally broken. Deleveraging after the Great Recession The financial panic in 2008 was due in no small part to a burden of too much debt in the US, UK, and Europe. The postrecession deleveraging process meant that central bank policies were not effective at encouraging more growth or inflation, even if they did help prevent a deeper recession. 33
34 Why has a $4.5 trillion Fed balance sheet not led to more inflation? (#2 of 2) Commodity Price Weakness The emerging market boom that ended after the Great Recession led to higher commodity prices, which brought forth a new era of greater supply, leading to a secular decline in a broad-based selection of commodity prices. Global Competition Intense competition from emerging market countries, as well as a newly invigorated US manufacturing sector based on the energy boom have help keep inflation pressures low. Lack of FX interaction The inflationary 1970s saw a weak US dollar, and strong US dollar in the early 1980s help create disinflation. Since 2008, with all major central banks at near-zero shortterm rates, there have not been FX trends to magnify and inflation differentials. 34
35 Scenarios for US equity markets for 2015 Scenario #1 US economy continues to improve, but with no inflation pressure, no pricing power for corporation, so earnings growth decelerates. S&P500 suffers a 10% correction but ends up positive on the year. (60%) Scenario #2 M&A activity and solid US economy propel S&P500 Index to new highs, up 15% or more on the year, give or take. (20%) Scenario #3 US economy hits a rough patch, (possibly due to international causes) and equities swoon, for a 20% bear market downturn, then a rally, but not enough to end the year in positive territory.

38 FX Markets, more than most, historically embraced the trend is my friend The lack of persistent and strong trends in major FX markets since September 2008 is directly related to the zero rates from the US Fed, ECB, Bank of England, and Bank of Japan. Until rate policies diverge among the big four central banks, persistent trends in those key currency pairs are unlikely. A consequence of the lack of persistent price momentum has been reduced trading profits at prop shops, FX funds, and bank trading units focusing on FX markets. A number of formerly very large FX desks and shops have closed their doors. The lack of meaningful short-term interest rate differentials among the big four currencies has led to an increase in political or policy statement event risk causing very temporary price shocks. Event risk environments may favor options trading over futures. 38
39 Scenarios for new dynamics in FX depend heavily on central bank divergence Scenario #1 US and UK economies perform well enough to lead to expectations of rate rises in 2015, while Euro-Zone and Japan hit economic rough patches. USD and GBP outperform EUR and JPY. (60%) Scenario #2 Creeping inflation in the US and UK versus deflation fears in Europe and Japan magnify country differences. (20%) Scenario #3 US, UK, Euro-Zone, and Japan all disappoint on economic growth. Zero rates remain in all countries. No trends, not much volatility. (20%) 39

45 Five geo-political risks that are in play 1. US Congressional elections: Does the Republican Party gain control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives? 2. Will the Brazilian election bring a period of less uncertainty regardless of who wins? 3. Despite the Scottish No vote, will the rise of nationalism in Europe bring more political risks? 4. Russia wins its wars in the winter. Will the battle of the economic sanctions escalate? 5. Will tensions in the Middle East hit oil prices? 45
