Complacency all around, in rates and FX markets

Market outlook

Source: BNP Paribas, Bloomberg

Federal Reserve: Today. The Fed has clearly signalled a rate hike for this

year.

� On top of strong labour markets and improving wage growth, core CPI data

have been at or above 2.3% since November 2015. Headline CPI is

climbing now, at 1.1%.

� Inventories that weighed on GDP growth last quarter are likely to provide a

boost to output for the rest of the year. As such, near-term risks to the

economic outlook have ‘diminished’, paving the way for the Fed to hike.

� Current market expectations (less than 20% chance of a hike) are too

low. We think the Fed has a clear window to raise rates at this

September meeting.

Bank of Japan: Shift in policy Price level targeting (yield curve control)

� The BoJ, will shift its monetary base with flexible purchasing policy until

inflation is above 2% and stable.(provide additional freedom to maintain the

current policy track indefinitely)

� The BoJ has scrapped average maturity target with no rate cut

� Should drive a steeper curve, good for financials, equities and slightly

weaker Yen

Markets, both risk free and risky, are complacent and are not ready

for higher rates after a strong performance in 2016.

� The recent violent repricing in some ‘risk free’ bonds is creating a volatility

jump normally associated with equity markets (around 20%). This will make

these long-dated assets less attractive, as their Sharpe ratio will drop. Safe

haven assets may not be that safe after all.

� The complacency in the FX market has reduced over the week, but there is

still lots of room for a reaction to a rate hike from the Fed, or even a

‘hawkish hold’.

FX market unprepared for a hawkish Fed

FX Positioning for USD FX market has scaled back its risk taking in recent days

� The complacency in the FX market has reduced over the

week, but there is still lots of room for a reaction to a ratehike from the Fed, or even a ‘hawkish hold’.

� The size of the market’s short USD position has been

reduced, but the position is still a short with a score of

-9.

� Positions in the risky G10 currencies (the AUD, NZD,

NOK) have also been reduced, but there is still a net

long position.

� These ‘risky’ currencies continue to appearvulnerable to higher US yields.

FX market has reduced its long AUD and NZD positions, but there is

room for shorts to be entered on a Fed surprise

MarFA™ - Current themes & signals

Key outcomes:

� There is a high degree of correlation between

equities and credit market across the globe.

� The outperformance of risk-assets is identified as corresponding with the decline in vol (implied in equity

and rates) over the summer months.

� Looking forward, in a scenario of higher vol, equities and credit are vulnerable to a sell-off, with EM equities

and credit most at risk.

MarFA™ valuations:

� UK assets appear too expensive vs the Market

Factors: The FTSE 100 appears overvalued, while

investment grade and HY credit spreads are too narrow.

� Mexican assets (ccy and equities) are cheap vs their

Macro Factors.

� Curves appear too steep, especially in France, Japan and the UK.

Trade of the week: Buy 1m 25 delta USDTRY

Chart 1: Amid increased uncertainty, the USDTRY vol curve

remains steep whilst the RR remains low

In relatively benign USD funding conditions, USDMXN and USDZAR

have been through a significant period of stress. We expect the USDcurve to start to price in tighter financial conditions as 10y real rates push

higher with steeper curves, at least in the near term.

In contrast to the MXN and ZAR, USDTRY implied volatility remains low,

while the volatility curve remains relatively steep.

� The USDTRY vs USDZAR 1m vol spread has reached 11 vols, an

extreme value (Chart 2).

� Short risk reversals in USDTRY are at low levels.

� Pricing of USDTRY volatility reflects rather a past period of FX

stability rather than any possible tightening of USD liquidity.

In addition, Moody's is expected to review Turkey’s sovereign rating no

later than 10 October; we think there is a significant chance of adowngrade.

Trade: Buy 1m USDTRY call, at spot 2.97 with strike of 3.05,for 70bp of the notional amount.

Chart 2:USDZAR, USDMXN have already reacted to tighter G2

liquidity; TRY is likely to follow
