Developed macro

  Sentiment was lifted by the unexpectedly narrowing US trade deficitduring US hours. Elsewhere, central banks delivered no surprises intheir rate decisions. The ECB and Bank of England left their ratesunchanged while the key word ‘strong vigilance’ was mentioned in the ECBpress conference, signaling a July rate hike. Overnight in Asia, the upbeatsentiment had been short-lived, with disappointing Chinese trade numbersweighing on markets again.

  In our view, the ECB press conference was broadly in line withexpectations although, on balance, the few changes to the official statementwere on the hawkish side. As expected, the Governing Council signalleda rate hike for next month while extending unlimited liquidityprovisioning for another quarter. ECB staff projections were revised higherfor this year albeit by a smaller margin than we had expected. Despite Greekworries (the ECB strongly opposed to any form of debt restructuring onceagain) and the evidence of slowing economic activity, the ECB soundedconfident enough to keep on normalising its monetary stance. Therefore, wecontinue to forecast a gradual pace of monetary tightening, with a 25bp rate

ECB ‘strongly vigilant’ as expected,

on its course to a July rate hike

hike every three months, bringing real policy rates back into positive territoryby mid-2012 (see The ECB has more in store, 9 June 2011).

  UK manufacturing production is expected to post negativegrowth in April (-0.7% MoM) on weak domestic demand and special eventssuch as the additional bank holiday at the end of April and supply chaindisruptions in the automobile industry due to the Japanese tragic events.

UK IP likely off to a weak start in

Interest rate strategy

  Without listening to Trichet’s comments, yesterday’s price actionsuggested the ECB had turned dovish and there was no rate hike on thehorizon. Though many were expecting a rate hike signal for next month, noreaction rather than a bond market rally would have seemed more plausible,particularly at the front end. The German Schatz trades not much morethan 10bp above where the refi policy rate is highly likely to be nextmonth, which seems rather expensive in our view. The Greek rescueplan and Euro banking stress tests are the main sources of uncertainty thatcould justify Euro core yields at these levels in the very near-term, and bothare due towards the end of the month. Choppy market conditions arelikely to persist for the coming weeks, but we would most likely stayaway from front end going into Q3 at these levels. 

Front-end yields look expensive 

going into Q3 following ECB hike 

signal 

  The Euro rates market was generally in a risk-off mood yesterday, assovereign spreads pushed wider on the back of very little news flow. Thelikelihood is there will not be any official news on the Greek rescue packagefor another two weeks, and judging by the current market behaviour thisinformation vacuum will be negative for peripherals. Whether this lack ofinformation is a serious problem for peripherals will be highlighted byhow well the 15Y Spanish Bono is received via an auction nextThursday.

No news is bad news for 

peripherals; next Thursday’s 15Y 

Bono auction will be important 

hurdle 

  Despite the reasonable amount of macro data releases today, not many (ifany) will have an impact on rates during this session. Today’s central bankspeakers are more likely to have some market impact in terms of scheduleevents, though Euro-sovereign sentiment remain key influence.

Euro sentiment remains key with 

little scheduled news today

FX strategy

  EUR: Heavy on Q1 2012 rate expectations despite “vigilance”. EUR/USD should remain heavy today with German inflation data likely to addto the pair’s bearish tone. May consumer prices should again slow (e.g. -

0.2%MoM) maintaining a stable 2.4%YoY inflation rate. Such an outcome isimportant in the aftermath of yesterday’s ECB statement. Indeed it isinstructive that European interest expectations in early 2012 (e.g. asmeasured by 6x9 FRA’s) moderated significantly yesterday despite governorTrichet’s reiteration of “strong vigilance”. Could is be that the market isshifting focus from an expected July ECB rate hike to the potential for asignificant growth downgrade in Europe? Possibly, with the result beingfurther EUR/USD weakness today.

Despite policy maker “vigilance” 

ECB Q1 2012 rate expectations 

took a hit yesterday

  SEK: Undermined by weak activity data. Moderating Europeandata appears to have (finally) gained traction with SEK investors. EUR/SEKhas risen swiftly in June with the pair up over 2%Mtd. Importantly similarunderperformance is reflected on an NEER basis (-1.4%Mtd) to suggest SEKselling has been broad based. Thus today’s expected moderation in Aprilindustrial production and orders data is potentially significant given theRiksbank’s relatively aggressive policy stance. Should a stronger European

slow-down become reflected in leading Swedish activity indicators, SEKcould move quickly – particularly against less exposed currencies like NOKand CAD.

Fears surrounding a weaker 

European growth outlook are 

undermining SEK 

  NOK: Ignoring Brent’s latest OPEC induced spike. Despite thenear $6bl rise in Brent oil this week NOK has remained curiously heavy.Such performance contrasts against a strong historical connection betweenoil prices and currency performance. Similar to Sweden (see above), recentNOK weakness appears based upon concerns regarding the Europeangrowth outlook. While such concerns are valid, NOK should remain relativelyinsulated to any meaningful deterioration in the European growth outlook.This insulation stems from Norway’s strong oil export exposure and theassociated government pension fund. Thus we maintain a constructive NOK

outlook, and would recommend European growth pessimists add NOK/SEKlongs on any May inflation related weakness.

European growth pessimists should 

consider NOK/SEK longs 

  Technically, EUR/GBP is still moving higher on the daily (andweekly) cloud patterns, but the extended upmove needed a correction, but isnow heading back to the Ichimoku conversion and base lines, which act as arolling 50% retracement levels on a 9-day and 26-day time horizon. Theyshould offer support at 0.8815 and 0.8824 respectively, with signs that theconversion line will now move above the base line (a bullish confirmation),

 just below the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at 0.8834 (from the 0.8606-0.8975 upmove that started in late May).

13:00 BZ Retail Sales (YoY) APR - - - - 4.10%

Emerging markets  The emerging positive momentum is finally getting firmer with EM FXs

stronger vs EUR as well USD yesterday. Rate wise, EMEA rates are finallygoing upwards. Nevertheless discrepancies between EMEA, LatAM and Asiaremain the same. It seems indeed hard to stop the bull flattening of Asianrates. The Chinese trade data published overnight should not change it andmay weigh on EM market sentiment this morning, all the more since themacro calendar is light. It is Russia which will garner most part of theattention but it could hard affect the global EM mood.

EM improvement but fragile as 

Chinese figures are disappointed

provide part (or all, if need be) of it. UAE, Kuwait and Qatar are likely to alsoincrease production. This could reduce spare capacity in the group to 1.5Mbdat the end of the year, which appears supportive for prices. On the otherhand, (1) the assumption that Libya will remain out of the market through theend of the year is strong (2) it is very likely that some other OPEC members(Angola for example) will increase production and (3) Saudi Arabia isaccelerating the development of new fields. In any case, if prices remainabove 115$/bl for much longer, economic growth and oil demand are likely tobe severely impacted, reducing the call on OPEC in 2H11.
