G10 FX Outlook: Policy Divergence Starts to Drive FX

G10 FX Outlook: Policy Divergence Starts to Drive FX Moscow - June 2014 Steven Saywell Global Head of FX Strategy

FX Themes USD: Tapering should support a stronger USD against the other lower-yielding G10 currencies. Long USD positioning has not fully recovered, which provides scope for upside despite for consensus for USD strength. EUR: Further ECB policy easing is increasingly likely and we forecast QE during H2 2014. EUR will suffer from this while support from inflows is also fading. We forecast 1.30 EURUSD by end-2014. Asia: Growth in the region to remain robust, but Fed tapering expectation to impact USD vs Asia. Asian currencies may struggle in 2014. JPY: USDJPY to rise as the BoJ remains committed to very loose policy, in contrast to a Fed that is heading towards the exit. Domestic investors to continue to be crowded out of the JGB market and allocating funds abroad. We forecast 110 USDJPY by end-2014. GBP: The recovering in UK economy to continue to underpin the GBP. Market positioning is extremely long but it remains cheap vs long-term valuation. We forecast 0.76 EURGBP by end-2014. CHF: EURCHF to rally as global growth recovers, but further ECB easing will provide a headwind. As the Swiss begin to recycle large current account surplus we forecast a gentle rise to 1.25 EURCHF by end-2014. AUD, NZD, CAD: Pockets of EM resilience + local growth will be enough to shield commodity currencies strong as Chinese growth remains robust.. Our ranking for the bloc is Cad, then AUD & NZD. NOK, SEK: Scandinavian currencies appear oversold currently, in particular the NOK should recover against the SEK in 2014. May 2014 2

Asian foreign-exchange reserves rose from USD 1.2trn in 2003 to USD 5.9trn in December 2013. There has been a structural Asian buying flow into the Eurozone (Bunds & OATs mostly).

RUB More weakness ahead

Emerging weak from the 08/09 crisis Changes between 2008 and 2014 Russia has seen its macroeconomic fundamentals deteriorate sharply since the 2008/09 financial crisis. These have been further impacted by the geopolitical situation. Changes between 2008 and 2014 The fiscal situation has worsened (also in underlying terms). Potential growth rate has declined. Current account will soon turn into a deficit. Oil prices are not expected to race higher anymore. The main things helping Russia are: Relatively high yield Low debt to GDP Fairly liquid local market. However, the outlook is clearly deteriorating and we do not advise strategic longs. 56

Deteriorating fundamentals 57 Worsening C/A Falling potential growth Russia s fundamentals have weakened since the global financial crisis, with the economy steadily more dependent on the oil and gas sectors and on the price of energy commodities. Their share of exports has risen above 60% and real output growth has barely exceeded 2-3% in the last few years. In light of this and of Russia s adverse demographic trends, the country s potential growth rate has fallen below 3%. Investment-to-GDP ratio is falling again and the labour force is ageing and shrinking. Medium term prospects are soft, at best. Russia s low public and external debt means we are less worried about the near-term outlook but the country s deteriorating fundamentals point to growing risks down the line.

CBR to cut? 58 GDP prospects are soft, labour market is weak Rate expectations being revised A stabilisation in the situation in Ukraine, coupled with moderating inflation, could see the CBR reverse the 200bp hikes implemented at the start of 2014, later on in the year.
