SA mining production surged by 15.5% y/y in March, from 4.1% growth in February, much better than forecasts of 4.7%. This is the sharpest

pace of growth since March 2015.

While most subcomponents reflected better output in March, key positive drivers of the headline print were iron ore, PGMs, coal,

diamonds, and manganese and chromium ores. These subcomponents contributed a cumulative 16% y/y towards the headline growth in

mining production. In contrast, gold, nickel and other non-metallic minerals contracted sharply in March.

Miners have ramped up production after the inventory draw down in Q4, and in anticipation of better demand from major trading partners

in coming months. Should commodity prices remain stable to elevated, we are likely to see continued increases in mining output. The sharp

surge in mining production in March will probably make a sizeable positive contribution towards Q1 GDP growth, possibly offsetting any

contraction from the manufacturing sector.

Manufacturing production growth fared better than expected, at 0.3% y/y in March, from -3.7% previously, better than consensus of -2.4%.

The better manufacturing print was due to a rebound in textiles and clothing production, as well as furniture, motor vehicles and parts,

basic iron and steel, non-ferrous metals and machinery production.

However, the largest subcomponents – food and beverages, and petroleum and chemical products continued to eke out contractions,

contributing a cumulative -1.4% towards the headline print. Manufacturing production contracted by 0.9% q/q in Q1, which was mainly

driven by the petroleum and chemicals category. As a result, we are likely to see a small negative contribution towards headline growth in

Q1, which may be offset by a strong mining sector.

While the PMI does signal continued contraction in the manufacturing sector in coming months, it must be noted that the PMI is a survey-

based indicator and tends to over and under-react to recent developments. Hence, if the political situation calms down and confidence

levels pick up, we may see manufacturing activity respond favourably. For now, a weak manufacturing sector will likely persist, and remains

weighed down by petroleum production and other exogenous factors.

GDP growth is expected at 1% q/q in Q1, after the marginal contraction in the previous quarter. Added to this, the agricultural sector is

expected to post a significant rebound in 2017, supporting headline growth. GDP growth is expected at 0.7% in 2017 and 1.3% in 2018,

but is mainly due to cyclical, one-off factors and low base effects, rather than a structural shift in potential growth. Hence there remain

downside risks to the growth outlook over the medium term.

Inflation is expected to fall below the 6% upper band in the next print, and remain below this level over the medium term. The rand

remains the key swing-factor for the inflation outlook, which is keeping the SARB quite cautious at this stage. Given the multiple event

risks over the horizon, we believe the SARB will keep rates unchanged this year, with possible 2 rate cuts materialising in 2018 when the

political picture is clearer.

Mineral sales slows in Feb, likely to rebound as global growth and demand rises

The local session opened with the rand trading around the 13.5000 level which proved to be the high on the day. Although the volumes

were not significant, liquidity was limited, and once the local unit breached below the 13.4000 some stop loss triggering saw it trade to a

best level of 13.3150 fairly quickly, by the time of the local close trading at 13.3550.

This morning the rand is currently trading at 13.3600, EURZAR is trading at 14.5205 and GBPZAR is trading at 17.2200.

Another subdued session on the international front, EURUSD trading with a generally weaker bias, but again confined to a 50 point range on

the day, trading between 1.0840 and 1.0890, this morning currently at 1.0870.

Gold continues to trade steadily, this morning currently trading at 1226.80.

Data releases scheduled for today, no releases locally, from Europe we have German GDP and CPI, as well as industrial production for the

Eurozone, from the U.S we have CPI, retail sales, weekly and hourly earnings and business inventories and Evans from the FED is scheduled

to speak.

Over the past week the rand has continued to post incremental gains , after opening the week at 13.7000, on a technical front these gains

could potentially extend to 13.25/2800 but the current levels appear to be attractive to new dollar buyers.

Possible trading range in the rand today 13.2500 to 13.5500

A 5 million barrel decline in US oil inventories last week propped the Brent price above the $50/bbl. mark yesterday. While breaking above

the $51/bbl. very briefly, this was not sustained. The $45/bbl. mark will likely remain as support in the near term, and any commentary from

OPEC will likely prove supportive but for a short period of time before actual fundamentals signals a continued glut. Further downside risks

over the medium to longer term are likely.

Gold was supported by a volatile dollar yesterday, and seems to have risen off the lows of $1215/oz. earlier in the week. The dollar remains

strong, and this may weigh on bargain buying in the near term.

million euros after losing more than 13billion euros in the fourth quarter.

USA

US markets ended Thursday’s session lower, weighed by some poor earnings reports in the retail sector. . Macy’s tumbled 17%, following a

dismal quarterly performance, while Kohl’s slumped 7.8% after reporting a drop in sales. Nordstrom and JC Penny declined more than 7%.

Gold stocks traded higher, with the index adding 2.7%. The marker saw some recovery at the close, ending the day off its worst levels. The

Dow lost 0.1%, the Nasdaq and S&P500 lost 0.2%.

Asia

Asian markets followed Wall Street lower, with the Nikkei retreating from near one and a year highs on concerns surrounding the appetite

of US consumer spending. Nissan outperformed, adding 3.5% following a surprise hike in dividends, despite forecasting an unexpected fall

in profits. Chinese stocks bucked the trend, gaining 0.5% after the central bank injected fresh funds through a medium term lending facility,

but kept a tight rein on short term funding. Financial stocks weighed on the ASX, while materials rose, lifted by higher gold and copper

prices. BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto were up 0.8% and 0.7% respectively, while gold miner Newcrest surged more than 4%.

US

US PPI rose to 2.5% y/y in April, from 2.3% previously, better than forecasts of 2.2%. Input costs of furniture, machinery, chemicals and

services rose marginally, buoying headline PPI.

However, food and alcohol, autos and air transportation of freight remained deflationary. Any further declines in energy costs will also

weigh on input prices. For now, PPI remains elevated and likely to keep CPI elevated and close to, if not above, the 2% target or the medium

term.

Synopsis: We still anticipate 2 more rate hikes by the Fed this year. The main uncertainty is the timing of these hikes; there

is a possibility of a rate hike materialising in June and another towards year-end. Growth is expected to accelerate this

year, while headline inflation is expected to remain close to, if not above, the 2% target rate over the medium term.

UK

UK industrial production growth eased to 1.4% y/y in March, and contracted by 0.5% over the month, from 2.5% and -0.8% respectively

previously. The main reason for the disappointing print is due to a sharp contraction in electricity production. While overall manufacturing

activity slowed marginally, this was offset by better mining and quarrying activity and higher oil and gas production.

The UK trade deficit widened sharply in March, to £4.9 billion, from £2.65 billion previously, worse than expectations of £3 billion. Exports

rose by 3.2% over the month, while imports surged 8.5% m/m. The surge in imports was led by food and beverages, fuel and manufactured

items. The marginal rise in exports was driven by basic materials and manufactured items.

The slowdown in industrial activity and the deteriorating trade balance may be a reflection of a stronger sterling exchange rate recently, but

is also an early reflection of the Brexit woes and the hampering of confidence levels thereof.

The BOE left interest rates and the asset purchase programme unchanged, with one dissenting vote out of the 8 votes. The GDP growth

forecast was downwardly revised to 1.9%, from 2% previously forecast for 2017. The 2018 and 2019 growth forecasts were raised by 10 bps

to 1.7% and 1.8% respectively. The upward revision was due to the belief that trade, investment and fiscal policy would offset weakness in

local consumption. The inflation forecast was raised to 2.8% in 2017, and downwardly revised over the next two years to 2.4% and 2.2%

respectively.

The path of interest rates are expected to be shallow enough to allow the output gap to narrow and the unemployment rate to fall to its

equilibrium level of 4.5%. The BOE indicated that monetary policy may need to be tightened by a greater extent than previously forecast

over the longer term as inflation is expected to rise in 2019 and 2020 and wage rates are likely to be inflationary over the medium to longer

term. Hence clearly signalling that the next move in interest rates are likely higher.

Synopsis: The BOE has sat on the fence regarding monetary policy, indicating the willingness to tolerate inflation breaches, while also being

mindful of the adverse impact on the labour market if interest rates were to be hiked. However, the recent indication of higher rates after a

possible extended period of unchanged policy rate shows that the hawkish rhetoric is making a comeback. We maintain the view that

interest rates will be left unchanged this year, with the longer term outlook dependent on the pace of Brexit proceedings and its impact on

the economy.
