Tactical trading themes Bonds

FX reserve depletion poses little

threat to core bond markets.

China to export deflation faster via

currency deprecation. Inflation

breakevens to stay low.

Long bias in Antipodeans.

There is juice in peripheral carry

trades.

There is more juice in EM local

bonds with GBI-EM yield at 6.8%

but this requires taking fx risk. We

instead prefer EM sovereign

external debt.

Credit

Is the credit cycle turning?

Structural credit overweights to

keep credit volatility more

elevated than in previous cycles.

Favour financials over non-

financials. Continued bank

deleveraging contrasts with non-

financial corporate shareholder

friendly activity.

ECB’s QE to benefit European

bank credit by more than other

regions. OW European credit

outright and vs. the US. .

Commodities

Little evidence of improvement in

physical oil demand/supply. Specs

have been driving recent swings.

Gold ETF flows on a downtrend.

Base metals hostage to China’s

continued downshifting.

EM

Further CNH downside. 12m fwd

CNH mispriced.

EM asset performance tied to

China and commodities.

Equities

Equities hostage to persistent

uncertainty from China.

EM equities offer highest value and look

oversold but there is little flow impetus.

Investors seek refuge to US and

European equities.

Japanese equities benefit from

continued buying by Japanese state

pension funds but proximity to China

offsets this benefit.

Financials suffer from Fed’s capitulation.

Currencies

Beyond the Fed, dollar funding

shortage creates a favourable

backdrop for the dollar.

Short EUR or JPY trade to

resume later in the year on more

ECB/BoJ activism into 2016.

EM currencies offer decent carry

and are oversold but are

hostage to CNH depreciation

expectations.

China’s capitulation(1)

China’s capital flow $bn per quarter, proxied by the change in FX reserves minus the current account balance. Last observation in red is for

July only (one month). Both July and Q2 are our estimates as balance of payments data are only available up until Q1’15.

China flow indicator The flow indicator includes: Rail freight volumes, cement production, steel production, auto production,

housing starts and total loans. It is constructed by taking YoY changes in calendar quarter monthly averages

for each variable. Z-scores are then calculated for each of these variables by taking the current observation,

subtracting the average since 2006 and dividing by the standard deviation over the same historical period.

The aggregate indicator is constructed by taking an average of these z-scores.

How much more capital could flee China?

• “Loans” in “foreign liabilities”: stock of $434bn

as of Q2 more than a third below its Q2 2014 peak

• “Currency and deposits” in foreign assets: $313bn

as of Q2 offsetting 70% of outstanding foreign

debt

• “Currency and deposits” in “foreign liabilities:

stock of $461bn as of Q2, 8% below its Q4 2014

peak

• “Trade credits” in “foreign assets” stood at

$455bn as of Q2 2015 rising at an annual pace of

close to 20% per year or $15bn per quarter

The $1.7tr oil income shift

Oil producers

-$400bn : Oil exporters cut in spending on goods and services

-$370bn : SWF/FX reserve accumulation (from +$270bn in 2014 to -$100bn in 2015)

-$200bn : Oil companies capex

+$17bn : Oil companies buybacks Oil consumers

+$150bn : Asian oil importers CA surplus increase (improved SWF/FX

reserve accumulation)

+$420bn : Residential sector income windfall

+$510bn : Industrial sector income windfall

+$510bn : Transportation sector income windfall

+$85bn : Industrial/transportation companies share buybacks

Net balance

Spending: Assuming the residential sector spends 80% of its $420bn income windfall, the industrial and

transportation sectors will need to spend at least $260bn this year to offset the $600bn spending cuts of oil

producers. This seems unlikely given weak capex trends by industrial companies YTD.

Bonds: SWF/FX reserve accumulation changes are neutral for bonds. A big portion of industrial and

transportation sector $1020bn income windfall is likely saved via bank deposits. This boosts bond demand.

Equities: SWF/FX reserve accumulation changes are negative -$170bn for equities. But $100bn of this

impact is offset by increased share buybacks. So overall flow change for equities is -$170bn.

Oil specs behind recent swings

Net spec positions on Brent and WTI futures contracts Net spec positions divided by open interest. CFTC futures positions for WTI and Brent are net long

minus short for the Managed Money category.

WTI oil skew Skew is the difference between the implied volatility of out-of-the-money

(OTM) call options and put options. A positive skew implies more demand for

calls than puts and a negative skew, higher demand for puts than calls. The

chart shows z-score of the skew, i.e. the skew minus a rolling 2-year avg skew

divided by a rolling two-year standard deviation of the skew.

EM and commodity currencies still oversold vs. safe currencies Weekly Spec Position Monitor Net spec positions are the number of long contracts minus the number of short using CFTC

futures only data. This net position is then converted to a USD amount by multiplying by the

contract size and then the corresponding futures price. To proxy for speculative investors,

commodity positions use the managed money category, while the other assets use the non-

commercial category. The chart shows the z-score of these net positions, i.e. the current

net position minus the average over the whole sample divided by the standard deviation of

the weekly positions over the whole sample. US rates is a duration weighted composite of

the individual UST series plus the Eurodollar contract. The sample starts on the 13th of June

2006.

Difference between net spec. position indicator

in Risky vs. Safe currencies Difference between net spec positions on risky & safe currencies : Net spec position is

calculated in USD across 5 "risky" and 3 "safe“ currencies (safe currencies also include

Gold). These positions are then scaled by open interest and we take an average of "risky"

and "safe" assets to create two series. The chart is then simply the difference between the

"risky" and "safe" series. The final series shown in the chart below is demeaned using data

since 2006. The risky currencies are: AUD, NZD, CAD, RUB, MXN and BRL. The safe

currencies are: JPY, CHF and Gold.

4 reasons EM FX reserve depletion poses little risk to overall bond demand

1) The capital flows out of EM could find their way into DM bonds. In

particular, the accumulation of dollar deposits, which is by now a

widespread phenomenon across EM economies, is likely to find its way

into USD dominated bonds via the banking system.

2) The uncertainty that China induces to global growth and inflation outlook

is likely to influence G4 central bank policy. Potentially more QE from

the ECB or the BoJ could eventually boost bond demand.

3) The recent market correction and the rise in volatility and uncertainty is

creating a natural support for bonds by asset allocators who had

previously accumulated too much of equity risk.

4) The rise in volatility and uncertainty is already hurting bond supply. Up

until August, USD issuance is only 3% higher from last year’s pace. As a

result USD issuance is no longer able to offset the 20% YoY decline in non-

USD denominated issuance.

When to hedge equity risk (1)?

Equity Valuation: Hedge when the deviation from fair

value is greater than half a standard deviation and

stop hedging when prices fall below their fair value.

This signal was successful (i.e. equity returns were

negative when the model signaled expensive

valuations) during 10 out of 18 times since 1960s for

the S&P500 index.

Credit Signal: the 4 quarter change in US interest

expense to corporate profits is greater than one

percentage point and the 4 quarter change in US HG

credit spreads is greater than 20bps. Exit equity hedge

when the above condition no longer holds.

Credit signals were able to successfully time (i.e.

equity returns were negative when the credit metrics

recommended hedging) only three declines in the S&P

500 since 1970s. Over the recent history, we can see

that the credit signal was successful in timing the two

major cycles of the equity markets.

When to hedge equity risk (2)

Combined signal recommends hedging when both

our equity valuation signal and credit signals are

turned on and stops when both are turned off.

This combined signal was successful (i.e. equity

returns were negative when the model

recommended hedging) during 4 out of 7 episodes

since 1974 for the S&P500 index.

Performance of the combination of the equity valuation and credit

signals

Enter hedge when both credit signal is on and deviation fromFV>0.5sigma
