    The July round of Manufacturing PMIs set a negative tone to the start of H2 as our global index flirted with contractionary t erritory. The recent slowdown in global activity recalls the summer of 2010. However, while the US was the centre of concerns back then, this time growth surprise indices suggest a more wide-spread disappointment. In light of the mean-reverting nature of growth surprises, we are likely set for a turn as economists and analysts revise their forecasts in line with recent weakness. That said, assets such as equities have failed to reflect the disappointment in the data and arguably look vulnerable

    Source: Nomura, Bloomberg, DataStream Note: The aggregated PMI indices are constructed as a GDP-weighted average of the country PMIs within the respective group. Our global diffusion indices measure the proportion of countries that saw an increase in their PMI vs last month minus the proportion that saw a decease.

    The second half of 2011 started with yet another round of disappointing manufacturing data challenging further the idea of atemporary soft patch in global growth. After hitting record highs only a few months ago, our Global PMI Index fell to a two-year low of50.5 in July. Growth in activity flirted with contractionary territory as new business declined for the first time since July 2009.Importantly, the relative optimism of developed market supply managers over the last two years has now collapsed to close the gapwith their more pessimistic EM counterparts (Figure 1). Despite the encouraging rebound in activity in Japan and the apparent easingof supply-chain disruptions, the UK manufacturing sector dipped into contraction, suggesting further weakness in output in Q3 (seeUK comment ). The biggest surprise however was the US ISM, which fell to a near standstill at 50.9, disappointing consensusexpectations by a significant 4.4 percentage points (see US Comment ).

    The slowdown in global activity shows some uncanny similarities with the summer of 2010... with one big difference this time itseems worse. Indeed, although the US was the centre of concerns in mid-2010, this time the slowdown appears much more broad-based. Over the last five months, PMIs across the globe have weakened in unison as evidenced by our diffusion index, which dippedfurther into negative territory (Figure 1). Beyond the manufacturing sector, broader economic data also adds to the negative tone our G10 growth surprise indices (Bloomberg: NGISOG10 Index) , which compare the actual data releases to consensusexpectations, have now fallen to levels last seen in the aftermath of the Lehman bankruptcy. Clearly then, forecasters have beenrepeatedly disappointed in most G10 countries and not just the US.

    In this gloomy pict ure, there is one bright spot by nature, growth surprises are mean-reverting as forecasters adapt theirexpectations to incorporate the recent bias in the data. Indeed, the G10 surprise index has been in negative territory for 51 days inlight of the average half-life of the series of 48 days, a near-term reversal is then likely. That said, given the prolonged weakness wehave seen recently, this entails economists, equity analysts and central banks revising their forecasts down.

    Most importantly, is this negativity already in the price? Not entirely, in our view. Figure 2 compares the 3-month percentage changesin the S&P500 to our G10 surprise indices. Although equity performance has been following growth surprises closely over the pastthree years, it has failed to incorporate the slowdown in the data since mid-April. This is even more surprising in the context oflooming US fiscal sustainability concerns and ongoing European uncertainty. Arguably then, as growth surprises revert to close thecurrent gap, so would equities. This is in line with a broader theme we recently highlighted (see Macro Navigator ) while the

    immediate debt ceiling risk in the US looks set to be avoided later today, the long-term fiscal challenge remains. It requires a politicaland economic adjustment, which in turn would lead to slower growth and thus should translate into weaker stock markets, in our view.

    Yesterday s moves largely reflected two significant developments pulling the market in opposite directions. First, the forthc omingagreement on the debt ceiling in the US led to a positive Asian session in equities and a strong open in Europe. However, a series ofweak manufacturing PMI releases out of the Euro area, the UK (which is now in contractionary territory for the first time sinceSeptember 2009) and, most importantly, the US led to a sharp unwinding in equity positioning and another flight to quality. As aresult, the major equity indices across all time zones are featured among the day s underperformers. In the FX space, the CHF postedanother strong rally vs. the EUR and AUD/JPY sold-off substantially. The reversion in sentiment was also a key factor behind the turn

    in periphery bond trading. Spain and Italy opened the day 15bp tighter, however they closed the day 15-20bp wider vs. Germanyacross the curve, as sentiment deteriorated during the day. Finally, core rates were yet again among the main beneficiaries of theISM- induced risk aversion. The day s largest volume adjusted moves in the G4 space were in USD rates, as the curve bull -flattenedfurther by 7bp.

    Atop our radar s outperformers were AUD rates, following the RBA s decision to keep the cash target rate unchanged at 4.75%. Asour FX strategists note, the Board s statement itself was more hawkish than the last meeting, indicating that t he RBA has a mildtightening bias (see FX Insights - AUD: RBA review ). Still, the rates market rallied strongly (around 10bp across the curve) andAUD/USD retraced by approximately 1% as the market was slightly long going into the meeting. A set of mixed housing data releasesalso likely contributed to the rates move lower, with home building approvals coming out weaker than expected but house pricesholding up better than expected. Our economists think that these releases are consistent with the view that the housing market isforming a bottom, rather than weakening further (see Australia: Housing is down, but not out ).

    On the data front, today s focus is on the US, with Personal Income, Personal spending, PCE deflator and auto sales releasesout. Construction PMI for the UK and Euro zone PPI are the main data releases outside of the US.

    *Note: The Macro Radar represents asset performance, not an assets impact in terms of risk or economic performance. For most of the above categories, performance has been calculated in terms of prices of the underlying asset, i.e. a higher price entails a positive performance. For example, all outright interest rates are treated with respect to the value of an equivalent underlying bond, i.e. as yields fall the value of an equivalent underlying bond increases, therefore an outperformance of outright swap yields reflects yields declining. Equally, as credit spreads, such as iTraxx tighten, credit outperforms. Note that this treatment, when applied to outright inflation swaps, leads to rising inflation swap yields implying a positive performance, as would be observed in inflation-linked bonds. The exceptions to this rule are spreads, such as curve, fly,swap and cross-currency yield spreads, which are treated as asset s in themselves, i.e. a steeper curve will be seen as a positive performance, a more convex curve will be a positive performance for the fly . The one-day performance refers to the last price available compared to the average price between 7am and 8am London time the previous business day.

    Valuation Methodology - Global Strategy

    A Relative Value based recommendation is the principal approach used by Nomura s Fixed Income Strategists / Analysts when they make Buy(Long) Hold and Sell (Short) recommendations to clients. These recommendations use a valuation methodology that identifies relative value basedon:a) Opportunistic spread differences between the appropriate benchmark and the security or the financial instrument,b) Diverge nce between a country s underlying macro or micro -economic fundamentals and its currency s value andc) Technical factors such as supply and demand flows in the market that may temporarily distort valuations when compared to an equilibrium pricedsolely on fundamental factors.In addition, a Buy (Long) or Sell (Short) recommendation on an individual security or financial instrument is intended to convey Nomura s belief thatthe price/spread on the security in question is expected to outperform (underperform) similarly structured securities over a three to twelve-month time
