Overview: US equity index futures opened the session down last night but a good showing by Asia and

positive headlines from Europe have them indicating a 20 bps rally at the open. UST rates are slightly

higher and the curve is slightly steeper, the dollar is down and within a few basis points of both its 50–

and 200-DMA, and commodities are mixed headed into the US trading day. Economic scorecard

APAC Markets: Chinese equity markets had a brilliant day to start the week, rising 2.85% on no particu-

lar news at all. As shown at right, the CSI 300 large cap index made a fractional new high on a closing

basis for the current rally but perhaps more interestingly saw its 50-DMA move above its 200-DMA;

this was not a “golden

cross” that is triggered

when both of those two are

rising, but is still a sign of

stronger momentum to the

upside. There have been 8

prior instances where the

CSI 300 saw its 50-DMA rise

above its 200-DMA after at

least six months below. On

average, the index was up

18.93% over the next year,

though the skew is huge

with one gain of 141%, an-

other of 42%, and three

declines of 15% or more.

Other APAC markets were higher as well; while none kept up with A-shares, offshore H-shares were up

1.5% and the only decline in regional equities came courtesy of the Thai SET. Local FX was generally up

versus USD, with an 85 bps gain for INR leading the charge out of the weekend.

Europe Markets: The STOXX 600 didn’t get a single report to start the week, and markets are generally

pretty stable. While the STOXX 600 is slightly higher (+18 bps), breadth is somewhat mixed with 7

groups lower on the day and a somewhat lopsided rally in Banks and Basic Resources. Base metals had

a good night but M&A bankers might be the biggest winners as the much-discussed merger between

Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank in Germany appears to be headed towards fruition. The German

government supports the tie-up even though it will likely lead to tens of thousands of job losses. By

assets, the bank would be the third-largest in the EU, and well-capitalized, but still face profitability

concerns. For now, it’s a good sign that the all-stock deal has sent the acquirer’s currency up, as DB

sharers traded in Germany are near session highs, +4.8%.

Elsewhere, EURUSD is once again trying to poke its head above its 50-DMA, while baser rates are slight-

ly higher across the Eurozone (peripherals rallying as well), but credit is little-changed for synthetic in-

dices despite a cash bond rally.

Japan Trade: Two key indicators of activity for the APAC region were released overnight. Japanese

goods trade data was the first, with seasonally-adjusted trade balance for the month of February rising

to 116.1bn JPY versus 86.0bn expected. Exports were down 1.2% YoY, but that compares relatively fa-

vorably with the 8.4% YoY decline reported last month. The really interesting bit, of course, was China.

As shown below, Japanese exports to China fell 14.8% on a seasonally-adjusted basis in the three

months ended January. February data shows a strong rebound of 8.5%. Whether that rebound in Chi-

nese demand is something that can be sustained (probably by ongoing credit stimulus) is the big ques-

tion, but for now this particular indicator of activity is suggesting that the typical January-February sea-

sonal weirdness and a bit of a rough patch for Chinese activity isn’t the end of the world yet.

Singapore Trade: February trade data for Singapore had similarly good news for global activity opti-

mists. While both leading indicators and broad gauges of global trade activity have been in pretty per-

sistent decline of late, we

note that exports for Singa-

pore (both from its domestic

economy, and via broader

measures like re-exports and

container volumes, both of

which are highly sensitive to

global trade activity) have not

suffered all that much. Cer-

tainly, exports are down, and

re-exports are off their peak,

but container through-put for

the biggest Eurasian trade hub

has remained very robust,

something that would be im-

possible if total global trade

was collapsing.

Brexit: With the UK leaving the EU under current circumstances in 11 days, you would think that there

might be more panic. Sterling has generally held the highs it hit last week on news of Brexiteer move-

ment towards a the deal negotiated by PM May, and the general feeling that the EU would accept an

extension. The general thinking is that an extension is very likely, which is both reasonable and creates

significant downside risk, in our view. In Parliament, the most recent iteration of the deal is due to be

voted on Tuesday, but understandably PM May is refusing to table the legislation unless there is a

“strong chance” it will be approved. The problem, of course, is that if the UK isn’t even trying to vote

on the terms the EU has negotiated, extending the deal requires the EU to be okay with indefinite can-

kicking until something changes in the domestic UK political scene. While the EU is basically ground

zero for can-kicking (see: Crisis, Eurozone, 2010-2013), the presumption that the UK can squabble in-

ternally for an indefinite period while the EU politely allows repeated extensions is somewhat hard to

conceive.

In the near-term, any extension is good for cable (GBPUSD) but keep in mind that most of the

“extension news” is already in the

price. Movement by Brexiteer ultras

within May’s Conservative Party (for

instance, members of the European

Research Group) towards support

are positive. On that front, key fig-

ure Jacob Rees-Mogg appeared to

move towards a positive vote, say-

ing today a bad deal is better than

staying in the EU, while May’s for-

mer Foreign Minister Boris Johnson

urged rejection of the May deal in a

column. Another positive would be

movement of Northern Ireland’s

Democratic Unionist Party (DUP)

towards May’s deal.

While we think the simplest thing to

do is declare GBP in an uptrend,

buyers will be in a load of pain

should the EU’s support for an ex-

tension wobble. Also keep in mind

that real UK government bond

yields are –2% and near record

lows; the interest rate market re-

mains dour about the outlook for

the UK’s economy in the long term.

Eurozone Auto Sales:

We didn’t get a

chance to discuss Eu-

rozone auto sales ac-

tivity in detail last

week and think it de-

serves mention to-

day. As we’ve repeat-

edly emphasized, a

surge and then col-

lapse in auto sales

volumes in the mid-

dle of last year thanks

to regulations has

continued to ease. So

far in Q1, demand is

looking the closest to “normal” (we use the first six months of 2018 as our benchmark) it has since the

regulations went into effect (September 2018). As shown in the chart, Eurozone auto sales ran at a

pace of 11.18mm SAAR in February, nearly back to the 11.36mm SAAR pace from 1H ’18. Q1 sales are

therefore up 30.8% annualized versus Q4’s 10.1mm SAAR sales pace. That’s a very strong impulse (and

again, is driven by the exogenous regulatory shock rather than the cyclical health of the Eurozone

economy) that we don’t see discussed often as a significant positive for Eurozone growth early in 2019.

Eurozone Data: As we’ve

discussed in the past, Eu-

ropean nominal data sees

large impacts from energy

prices, so we think it’s

helpful to strip those out.

Based on the data report-

ed today by Eurostat, we

can say European Union

(note: not the same as the

Eurozone) the trade sur-

plus was the second-

weakest since 2012 ex-

cluding petroleum and

petroleum products. That

said, ex-petroleum ex-

ports were up 3% YoY, versus down 3.1% YoY in December, and a 2.1% advance in total exports YoY for

the EU 28.

US Markets: Internet retailer and somewhat surprising cryptocurrency play Overstock (OSTK) an-

nounced a 30mm revenue miss versus analysts estimates this morning, losing $1.39/share in Q4 thanks

to weaker gross margins. The stock is trading around $20, versus highs of $90 at the peak of the crypto

bubble. Another historic big decliner, Lumber Liquidators (LL) has a shot at a new all-time low this

morning after reporting 17 cent adjusted EPS but very weak net sales below analysts’ estimates and a

GAAP EPS loss of $1.99 per share. Economic scorecard. Interactive Earnings Calendar.
