Daily Market Outlook, June 9, 2022

Daily Market Outlook, June 9, 2022 Overnight Headlines China’s May Trade Balance Surplus Balloons On Exports Surge Beijing Cases Hover Near Lows As Regional Outbreaks Under Focus RBNZ To Begin Five-Year Exit From QE Bond Holdings Next Month IMF's Gopinath Sees Risk Of De-Anchoring US Inflation Expectations UK Gov Northern Ireland Protocol Legislation Now Expected Next Week UK BCC: UK Growth Will 'Grind To A Halt', 10% Inflation On The Way Iran Expands Advanced Centrifuge Work Underground, IAEA Report Shows Yen Extends Slide, Euro Steady As All Eyes On ECB Meeting Ethereum Moves Closer To Blockchain Revamp After Milestone Test Oil Hovers Near 13-Week High On Robust US Demand, China Optimism Asian Shares Slip And US Bond Yields Rise As Investors Await ECB Twitter Will Give Elon User Data, But It's Not The Data He Needs - Axios EU Lawmakers Uphold Ban On New Combustion Engine Cars By 2035The Day Ahead Asian equity markets are mostly lower this morning. Brent crude oil has risen towards $124 a barrel, adding to inflation concerns, and US 10-year Treasury yields have edged further above 3%. There were also reports Shanghai is introducing lockdown restrictions in some districts for mass Covid testing. That offset better data on China’s trade flows. The OECD yesterday downgraded its global GDP growth forecast for this year to 3.0% from 4.5% and sees it moderating further to 2.8% in 2023. It predicted UK growth of 3.6% this year before stagnating in 2023. Today’s focus is the policy update from the European Central Bank. The policy decision will be announced at 12:45BST, followed by the press conference with President Lagarde from 13:30BST. Although interest rates are expected to be left unchanged, markets will be watching for confirmation of an imminent end to net asset purchases under its QE programme. That would pave the way for interest rate lift-off at the next meeting on 21 July. ECB President Lagarde has indicated that 25bp hikes are on the table for both July and September, which would bring the deposit rate out of negative territory from the current -0.5% to 0%. President Lagarde has played down prospects of a larger 50bp increase in one go, although there is pressure from some rate-setters to move more quickly. There is also speculation that the ECB will also announce measures to counter the risk of wider peripheral bond yield spreads within the Eurozone as QE ends and interest rates start to rise. A reassessment of the inflation outlook will be provided in the ECB’s new macroeconomic projections. Eurozone inflation has continued to surprise on the upside, with the latest May reading at 8.1% for headline CPI, while even core inflation (excluding food and energy) is well above target at 3.8% reflecting strong price rises for services and non-energy industrial goods. Overnight, the UK RICS survey’s house price balance eased to 73% in May from 80% in April. The organisation said that new buyer enquiries fell but constrained supply will continue to support house prices. Later today, PM Johnson is expected to give a speech which will include housing market reform, including extending right to buy to people renting from housing associations. Elsewhere, US weekly jobless claims are expected to reaffirm a tight labour market. Expect initial claims to have edged just below 200k and to remain not too far above March lows. China will release CPI and PPI inflation data early Friday.FX Options Expiring 10am New York Cut EUR/USD: 1.0600-05 (1.03BLN), 1.0620-25 (288M) 1.0650 (258M), 1.0750-55 (1.06BLN), 1.0800 (294M) USD/JPY: 130.95-00 (621M) GBP/USD: 1.2400-10 (374M), 1.2575-80 (336M) 1.2600-05 (574M).

Investment Bank Outlook 09-06-2022

Credit AgricoleAsia OvernightThe rise in UST 5Y and 10Y UST yields back above 3% as well as higher oil prices weighed on investor sentiment during the Asian session. The Chinese technology stock rally that started yesterday also appears to have petered out. China’s trade data showed an upside surprise in its trade balance and exports, which helped support sentiment. A firmer CNH following the data also weighed a little on the USD. At the time of writing, most Asian bourses as well as S&P 500 futures were trading lower. G10 FX was trading in tight ranges ahead of the ECB meeting later today. The AUD was a modest underperformer during the Asian session given that China’s imports data was soft. The JPY was a modest outperformer on a softer USDCIBCFX FlowsLike yesterday and the day before that, $YEN prodded higher with talk of buying coming from the retail sector. Japanese retail day traders were long $YEN and have been reducing and going short above 130. They are now stopping out. Little fatigue after 134.525, the pair drifted back towards 134.12. Witness good volume around 134.15-25, profit taking from offshore names while speculators bought on higher US yields. $YEN moved lower over the Tokyo lunch, there wasn’t any headlines, I suspect maybe headlines available locally in Japanese.Indeed a slow session as we head into ECB meeting. The pressure is on the central bank to deliver a monetary policy response to inflation. Nothing is expected in today’s meeting but rate expectations have been ramped up of late with markets torn between 25 bps or 50 bps move next month with asset purchases coming to an end. The majority of the Governing Council seems to be in support of a smaller move, but market participants will be closely watching remarks. Story in Bloomberg that hedge funds are positioning short US Treasuries into Thursday. What if the ECB disappoints? I believe EUR$ is still locked inside 1.0620 and 1.0787. Hawkish and we’ll see if we can take out the topside.One of Australia’s biggest bank issued a report that it expects the current aggressive monetary policy tightening to weigh heavily on the economy and force RBA to reverse course and cut interest rates in the second half of 2023. I do not think AU$ reacted to this story. AU$ weakness was linked to lower AU$NZ$ cross. Yield spreads of the 2-year AU-NZ bonds widened to 76 bps this morning. Danger lurks below 1.1085. For the AU$, technical resistance at 0.7193 and intraday support at 0.7141.$CAD ended the morning at middle of the day’s range, not reflecting AU$. In our FICC, Ian Pollick wrote given the BoC change in tone from the April meeting, we are likely going to change the policy forecast, but we want to see the employment data tomorrow first. If and when we adjust our forecast, it would likely be pulling forward the single hike we expected in 2023 into 2022, making September a 50 bps meeting (from 25 bps currently) and 2.50% being achieved earlier. Importantly, that is the level at which we see the Bank taking a pause for 2022, and perhaps for the rest of thecycle. Ian believes the peak in longer-term yields is fast approaching. For example, our current rates forecast has the peak in CAD 10yr yields at 3.15%, slightly below current levels at time of writing. Macro strategist Bipan is sticking to his view that $CAD range 1.25-1.30 and risk is to the upside. Option strikes due today, $740mio at 1.2500 and $440mio at 1.2690.Strong trade data from China, export growth rebounded in May, data released, while import growth also beat expectations. Exports grew by 16.9%, total trade surplus was $78.76bn versus $51.12bn previous month. $CNH had a nudge lower onto 6.69-handle. Total of $2.39bn of 6.7000 strikes mature today.

Market Update – June 10 – European Futures Down Ahead of ECB

USDIndex steady at 102.50 but overall USD on bid. Stocks traded mostly lower, with China bourses hit by news suggesting that virus restrictions in part of Shanghai are already being tightened again amid a rise in case numbers, shortly after Covid lockdowns were lifted. Shanghai will lock down the Minhang district on Saturday morning for mass COVID-19 testing, according to Bloomberg. Hang Seng -0.9%, US stocks closed down over 1% (INTEL -5.28%), Yields back up (10-yr over 3% again), JPY pressured,  Brent & WTI rose over 2.5% on tight supply and China opening up. Yellen says some China tariffs still warranted. Bonds are under pressure, with a 6 bp jump in Australia leading the way overnight.

OvernightChina trade surplus widened as exports rebound. 

  • USDIndex dipped to 102.24.
  • EquitiesHang Seng and CSI300 are currently down -0.9% and -0.8% respectively. JPN225 moved sideways, but the ASX lost 1.5%. GER40 and UK100 are both down -0.6% and US futures are also in the red. USA500 finished off -1.08%, while the USA30 was off -0.81% and the USA100 was -0.73% lower.

  • NATGAS futures jump 25% this morning on US LNG outage.
  • FX marketsYen found some support in the near term. USDJPY is above 133.90. EURUSD found some buyers ahead of the ECB meeting, leaving EURUSD at 1.0712, while Cable dropped to 1.2516 and Sterling also declined against the EUR. Turkish lira slid to beyond 17.2.

Today – ECB Rate Decision and Statement and US jobless claims.

ECB Preview: Markets are eagerly awaiting today’s press conference. Rate settings are expected to be held steady for now, and while there are some members who see the urgency to act sooner rather than later as inflation goes through the roof, the ECB’s timetable for the phasing out of stimulus effectively excludes a move on rates this week. Net asset purchases need to end first and Lagarde is expected to confirm that this will happen early in July, which would pave the way for a rate hike in July. Lagarde has already mapped out two moves in July and September and the basic scenario is for “gradual” 25 bp steps, although the discussion on a bolder kick off with a 50 bp boost in July has already started. We suspect that Lagarde will stick with a focus on “gradualism” for now. But she will not rule out a 50 bp step as the need to maintain credibility and assert the Bank’s commitment to price stability and the 2% inflation target seem increasingly urgent.

Biggest Mover @ (06:30 GMT) Platinum (-1.92%). Next key support at 970.00. H1 MAs aligning lower, MACD histogram sharply down, RSI 28, OS & declining, H1 ATR 3.91, Daily ATR 24.51.

Market Spotlight: World Bank Slashes Global Growth Forecasts

World Bank Cites Ukraine, Inflation & Supply Issues As Recession RisksIn its latest Global Economic Prospects report issued today, the World Bank warned that many countries are at severe risk of a “major recession” in the wake of the violence in Ukraine, inflation and supply-issues. In particular, the World Bank noted that less developed nations in Europe and Asia are facing elevated risks.Inflation Likely to PersistIn the report, the World Bank noted: "The war in Ukraine, lockdowns in China, supply-chain disruptions, and the risk of stagflation are hammering growth. For many countries, recession will be hard to avoid." Looking ahead, the outlook is not positive with report going on to say that "Subdued growth will likely persist throughout the decade because of weak investment in most of the world. With inflation now running at multi-decade highs in many countries and supply expected to grow slowly, there is a risk that inflation will remain higher for longer."Global Growth Outlook DowngradedThe bank’s global growth projection has now been reduced to 2.9% from 4.1% in January, in light of these risks. In the US, the World Bank expected 2022 growth of 2.5%, down from the prior 3.7% projection. China also saw its growth outlook slashed to 4.3% while the Eurozone is forecast to see growth of 2.5%, down from the prior 4.2% projection. Notably, the report concluded that: “Even if a global recession is averted, the pain of stagflation could persist for several years -- unless major supply increases are set in motion.”Technical ViewsMSCI World Index FundThe recovery in the index off the 110.27 lows has seen price trading back up into the middle of the bearish channel which has framed the sell-off this year. Price is currently caught around the 117.91 level, which marks the March and February lows. With both MACD and RSI bullish, however, the focus is on a further push higher with 122.06 and the channel highs the next resistance levels to note. Failure at the current level, however puts the focus on further downside and a resumption of the bear trend.

Daily Market Outlook, June 8, 2022

Daily Market Outlook, June 8, 2022 Overnight Headlines Chinese Official: PBoC Will Guide Financing Costs Lower China MOFCOM: Foreign Trade Faces Uncertainties, Huge Pressure Japan's Q1 GDP Revised Up To 0.5% Annualised Contraction Japan's Current Account Surplus Shrinks On Record Imports US Tsy Sec. Yellen Urges Congress To Do More To Fight Inflation US Tsy Moves To Block Investors From Buying Russian Debt US Consumer Credit Surges Again As Loans, Card Spending Jump UK PM Seeks To Shift Narrative With Law To Rip Up Brexit Deal World Bank Warns Of Weak Growth And High Inflation Yen Tumble Continues As Weakness Spreads Beyond The Dollar Oil Prices Inch Higher Ahead Of US Inventories Data China Tech Shares Rally As Game Approvals Give Nod To Recovery Musk's Twitter Deal Threats Put New Financing On IceThe Day Ahead Asian equity markets are mostly higher this morning although Chinese indices are little changed on the day. The World Bank has revised down its global economic growth forecasts citing concerns about the surge in energy and food prices, supply side disruptions and the impact of tighter monetary policy. It warned that a few years of below-average growth and above-average inflation lie ahead, and that the global economy could tip into 1970s like stagflation. Reports suggest that the UK government plans to push ahead with legislation to override the Northern Irish protocol in the Brexit deal. Some sources say this will be introduced to parliament today or tomorrow, but others claim it will be delayed until next week. Today’s data calendar is very light. In the UK, the PMI construction index for May will provide an update on a part of the economy that is both highly cyclical and interest rate sensitive. As of April, the survey still showed activity in the sector at a high level but there were signs that growth was slowing. Having held steady at 59.1 in February and March, the headline index slipped to 58.2, although this is still the third highest reading since July of last year. In further signs of slowing growth, the detail of the April report showed that both new orders and expectations regarding future output fell to their lowest levels this year. The consensus expectation for May is for a further slowing in pace of growth. In the Eurozone, Q1 GDP is a second reading. The expectation is that this will not be revised. However, a much larger-than-expected quarterly growth in Ireland of 10.8% points to some upside risks. The report will also contain more detail and there will be particular interest in what components of expenditure led the rebound from Omicron and whether consumer expenditure will show any signs of a negative impact from surging inflation. Eurozone employment data for Q1 will also be released. The OECD will publish its latest set of economic forecasts this morning. Its last update in March gave its first impressions of the potential economic impact of the war in Ukraine. This new release will provide further information now that it has more time to consider potential effects. It will be particularly interesting to see the organisation’s economic policy recommendations, including the extent to which it expects interest rates to rise.FX Options Expiring 10am New York Cut EUR/USD: 1.0550-60 (640M), 1.0580-85 (431M) 1.0600 (545M), 1.0650 (537M), 1.0665-70 (310M), 1.0685 (302M) 1.0720 (300M), 1.0750-60 (830M), 1.0800 (880M) USD/JPY: 132.00 (210M), 133.45-51 (333M).
