Deutsche Bank Research The House View

The House View – 17 March 2014

Three factors have clouded the outlook for the global economy in recent weeks: a run of mixed global

economic data, renewed concern over fragilities in China’s financial system, and a sharp rise in geopolitical

tensions between the West and Russia over Ukraine. All have weighed on risk assets

Mixed global economic data was in part down to one-off factors such as the Chinese New Year and extremely

cold US weather. While this has led to a modest reduction in our global growth outlook, the underlying

momentum of the world economy remains strong and an acceleration can be expected over the coming months

In China, weaker data and the country’s first ever onshore domestic bond default have spurred growing fears

that the rapid rise of credit in recent years will turn into a full-blown financial crisis. We think these concerns are

overdone and that China has sufficient policy flexibility and control over credit flow to prevent an economic

‘hard landing’

In Ukraine we see little chance of a military confrontation but expect prolonged diplomatic maneuvering that

could drag on for years. Tit-for-tat economic sanctions between the West and Russia are a risk, but not our

base case, and we expect the market impact to remain mostly concentrated on Russia and Ukraine assets.

Beyond these, EM assets should continue to see differentiation based on fundamentals

The evolution of the three above factors will be closely tracked by markets. Beyond any near-term volatility, we

maintain our long-term views. Equities remain attractive, bonds look expensive and the US recovery will see

earlier and faster rate hikes than the market currently expects, supporting dollar strength

We continue to expect growth to accelerate throughout 2014. Mixed data in the US and China is temporary in our view

Fed: gradual taper and end of QE by end-2014; do not

expect deviation from taper path despite mixed data.

Expect policy shift in H2 with signal of faster rate hikes

ECB: on hold as inflation is bottoming. Further easing

(e.g., QE) possible if inflation stays low, growth is weak,

euro strengthens further

BoJ: further easing in H2 only if warranted by data

BoE: on hold, no rate hikes even if u/e continues to fall

PBoC: on hold. No tightening, given inflation is low

EM: mostly on hold, with tightening bias to respond to

FX pressure if needed

Disorderly market sell-off : repricing of monetary policy

expectations stokes market volatility

China crisis: financial crisis / hard landing as China

attempts to rebalance its economy

Geopolitical risk: West / Russia escalation, e.g., tit-for-

tat economic sanctions

Crisis in EM: increase in capital outflows amid

continued turmoil or China slowdown hurts EM growth

Deflation risk: slowdown in US or Eurozone growth,

China RMB devaluation results in import disinflation

Bullish view on global growth of 3.5% in 2014, 3.9% in

2015 – with growth accelerating from 2.8% in 2013

US growth of 3.2% in 2014, 3.8% in 2015. View above

consensus on labour market recovery, lower fiscal

drag, stronger capex and residential investment growth

Eurozone growth of 1.1% in 2014, 1.4% in 2015, as

consensus. Recovery on track, with growth supported

by domestic demand, export traction, lower fiscal drag

EM growth of 5.1% in 2014 and 5.4% in 2015. Expect

cyclical recovery to be supported by exports to DM as

US, Europe economies accelerate

US, China data have been mixed, not weak in recent months. We expect this to be temporary, with growth accelerating in the coming quarters

Monetary policy to remain broadly supportive. Major CBs to add nearly USD 1tn extra liquidity in 2014. More policy differentiation with Fed ending QE as first step towards rate hikes while ECB, BoJ on hold / easing

No crisis in EM despite tensions in Ukraine and other well-known weak countries. No material spillover, markets to differentiate between ‘good EM’ & ‘bad EM’

Downside risks

Disorderly market sell-off : stronger growth prompts pricing of

earlier / faster rate hikes and stokes market volatility

China crisis: financial crisis / hard landing as China attempts to

rebalance its economy

Geopolitical risk: West / Russia escalation, e.g., tit-for-tat economic

sanctions

Crisis in EM: increase in capital outflows amid continued turmoil or

China slowdown hurts EM growth

Deflation risk: slowdown in US or Eurozone growth, China RMB

devaluation results in import disinflation

Crisis returns to Europe: slowing reform momentum undermines

potential growth, AQR impedes credit provision to the real

economy; rise of fringe parties in the May European elections

Upside risks

Global growth upside surprise: lower fiscal drag in the US and

Europe, incident-free elections across EM, effective policy stimulus

in Japan support faster-than-expected global growth

Lower oil price boosts growth: geopolitical calm and stronger

supply see oil prices stabilise ~10-15% lower than current prices

Tail risks

Geopolitical tensions escalate and push up oil prices and /or slow

economic activity, e.g., escalation of Syria conflict

While the risk of a global growth slowdown or EM crisis have risen marginally, falling bond yields have been supportive

US: Data firmed after weather-related weakness

− Payrolls recovered to +175k in February after a

sharp drop in January

− Maintain our 3%+ GDP forecast for 2014

Europe: Strong PMIs driven by Germany and Italy

− Eurozone composite PMI at highest since 2011

− Germany 2015 GDP growth upgraded to 2%

from 1.4%

China: Weak data due to Chinese New Year

− Manufacturing PMI dropped to 48.5 in February,

the weakest in 6 months

− Q1 growth could surprise to the downside but

underlying momentum remains intact

6

Despite weather-related weakness in Q1, the global economy remains healthy and should accelerate over the coming months

US macro data have been mixed over recent

months, in part due to very cold weather

− Weakening ISM series, soft retail sales

− Several weak housing indicators, notably

housing starts, existing home sales

− Soft payrolls, though rebounded in February

− Meanwhile, consumer confidence remains high,

inflation is turning

No reason for alarm yet – Q1 was expected to be

relatively weaker inventory due to destocking

We remain confident in the US recovery and expect

an acceleration in growth over the coming months

− End of Q1 inventory destocking

− Positive payback after weather-related

weakness

− Underlying fundamentals intact, e.g., firming

labour market, healthier household balance

sheets, housing recovery, lower fiscal drag

Mixed data have raised concerns over the US economy, but the recovery remains intact and we expect growth to accelerate

Despite mixed signals in recent months, the labour

market recovery is real

− In February, payrolls at 175k (6m, 12m averages

also at ~175k), unemployment at 6.7%

− Wage inflation is firmly trending up, suggesting

less ‘spare capacity’ in the labour market

If this trend continues, unemployment could be

close to equilibrium (5.5-5.75%) by end-2015

In normal times, Fed policy rate would need to be

close to neutral (3.5-4%) at that point

− We can expect the Fed to allow lower rates this

time around to sustain the recovery – but not as

low as current Fed forecasts or market pricing

We expect the labour market improvement and

rising inflation will lead the Fed to signal earlier and

faster rate hikes

Euro strength is among the key risks to the Eurozone recovery, though we see limited further upside to the currency

EURUSD is at its highest in 2.5 years

− +8% vs. USD, +5% trade-weighted since Apr-13

Several factors have acted in support of the euro

− Rising capital inflows as breakup fears have

faded, a stabilising periphery, less attractive EM

− Eurozone current account surplus at record high

− Market no longer expects ECB rate cut

Euro above current levels threatens the recovery

− Sustained euro strength makes exports more

expensive and reduces competitiveness

− “Pain thresholds” differ by country; France, Italy

already exposed at current levels

− As a whole, the Eurozone suffers above

EURUSD of ~1.40

Further upside for the euro is limited

− ECB likely to react if a strong euro increases

deflationary pressure

…Mario Draghi: “[Euro] increasingly relevant in

our assessment of price stability”

− EUR/USD to fall below 1.30 by year-end

Some recent data in Japan have been weak

− Q4 GDP only grew by an annualised 0.7% qoq

− External trade was weak as higher energy

imports turned historic surpluses into deficits

− Domestic spending not picking up as much as

expected ahead of consumption tax increase in

Apr-2014

However, PM Abe’s reflationary policies are working

− After falling for 15 years, prices have stopped

falling and are expected to rise by 1.2% in 2014*

− 2013 trends of a falling yen, rising earnings and

asset prices should continue in 2014

− 5Y inflation expectations are above 2%, from

negative as recently as late 2011

− Impact of the consumption tax rise will be

temporary and growth will recover in 2014

This has important implications for asset prices

− Nikkei to rise to 19,000 by end-2014 (+28%),

with exporters benefiting from a weaker yen

China is the second largest, and fastest growing

major economy in the world

− China to contribute 1/3 of global 2014-15 growth

Over the last few years, there have been several

false alarms over a hard landing

− A China hard landing (i.e., growth below 6%

yoy) or even growth below consensus (7.5%)

poses substantial risks to the world economy

Concerns are rising again about China’s ability to

sustain its current pace of growth

− Mixed macro data over recent months

− Years of rapid credit growth, especially in the

shadow banking sector, have led to concerns

over NPLs* and defaults

− China’s attempts to rebalance its economy from

an investment- and export-led model, to a

consumption-led growth model could lead to a

structural slowdown

Non-traditional and shadow banking have

contributed to a sharp rise in credit growth

These new forms of lending developed to circum-

vent limitations of the traditional financial system

− PBoC’ limits interest rates on deposits, in order

to channel cheap credit to local governments

and SOEs*

− As a result, savers seeking higher interest rates

and the credit-starved private sector are pushed

outside the traditional banking system via trust

and wealth management products (WMPs)

Sustained levels of credit growth have raised fears

over NPLs, defaults and a systemic financial crisis

− Subsidised loans to the public sector have

financed poor investments, leading to bad debts

− Less regulated trust products, WMPs could lead

to losses, including for retail investors

Further restructurings and defaults in China’s trusts

and WMPs are very likely, and are not unwelcome

as they help prevent speculative flows and credit

But concerns over a credit freeze and systemic

financial crisis are overdone

− Credit fundamentals of trust products are

actually improving – e.g., lower share of risky

borrowers

− PBoC stands ready to inject liquidity if needed

− Financial risks are being addressed by reforms

Authorities are managing an orderly default process

– as investors ‘learn’ to price credit risk, default

recovery ratios will gradually be allowed to fall

While average borrowing costs will rise, only the

less efficient public sector / SOEs will suffer – while

private sector funding costs fall

Reforms should enable sustained credit growth

while improving overall financial stability

Reforms will reduce financial risk and improve financial stability

Note: (*) LGFVs: local government financing vehicles

Deutsche Bank Research Research The House View – 17 March 2014, [email protected], +44 207 545 8465

Mixed macro data in recent months, e.g., weak

PMIs and IP, have stoked fears of a slowdown

Strong export growth, led by the US and Europe,

will support China’s export-led cyclical recovery

− US-Europe combined to grow at 2.3% in 2014,

up from 0.9% in 2013, providing external traction

− Export growth at 17% qoq in H2 2013; expected

to average 14% yoy for 2014, vs. 8% in 2013

China’s ambitious reform programme will also boost

growth short term, as some reforms get accelerated

− SOE reform and deregulation: opening up of

sectors with massive under-capacity to private

sector will drive investment*

− Financial reform: interest rate liberalisation will

provide cheaper credit to efficient private sector

− Fiscal reform: allowing municipalities to issue

bonds will alleviate funding pressure and help

refinance loans, reducing systemic risk

After a decade of rising growth, EM growth is trending lower amid falling reform momentum, exhausted growth models (e.g., dependence on commodities)

At the same time, DM are seeing rising momentum

Therefore, the wider growth differential observed in the previous decade is shrinking

In 2013, the Fed’s taper signal

triggered a re-assessment of EM

valuations and fundamentals

Rising rates meant yield-seeking

in EM assets less attractive

Major escalation in Ukraine tension in recent weeks

− Pro-Russia leader deposed following months of

protests resulting in new government that wants

to integrate with EU

− Russia has supported a separatist

administration in Ukraine’s Crimea region, of

mostly Russian-speaking population

− Diplomatic tensions between Russia and the US

and Europe have escalated

The West is threatening sanctions, although

Europe’s closer economic ties and dependency on

Russian energy make these less likely

− 30% of Europe’s gas comes from Russia

Crimea referendum on independence on 16-Mar,

while elections are due in Ukraine in May

We expect no military escalation but rather intense

diplomatic maneuvering over the next few years

While unlikely, a tit-for-tat round of economic

sanctions remains an important risk

Key facts

Ukraine is a relatively new state (independent since

1991), though Ukrainian nationalism has been a

political movement since the 19th century

Historically, Russia has considered it to be in its

sphere of influence, resisting EU efforts to integrate

Ukraine

Ukraine’s strong linguistic and cultural divide makes

a quick resolution difficult

− Nationalist, EU-facing West

− Russian ethnic and speaking East

EM debt fund outflows continue on weak sentiment

− In the 8 weeks to 5-Feb, institutional EM mutual

debt funds saw outflows of USD 2.9bn

− EM Hard currency debt funds, however, actually

saw inflows of USD 570m

However we do not expect contagion and a

widespread ‘EM crisis’ and sell-off

Instead, differentiation should continue as markets

penalise ‘bad EM’ and reward ‘good EM’

− Countries with current account deficits, failing to

reform or where tensions are building up are

under pressure – e.g., Ukraine, Venezuela,

Thailand, Russia

− Unlike during the Q2 2013 sell-off, good stories

are now being rewarded – e.g., record USD-

denominated bond sales in Indonesia, Slovenia,

Mexico, Colombia in 2014

Risks remain for 2014, both idiosyncratic (e.g.,

elections, escalating tensions) and external

− Systemic risks only if China or the US slows

down materially, or if capital outflows become

substantial and weaken country fundamentals

EM equities could be tactically oversold, with some markets looking cheap on a price to book value level

However, underlying causes of the current sell-off in EM equities are structural, namely a rise in state intervention and a deterioration in corporate governance

EM outflows could stabilise in the short-term

− A decisive move down in oil prices

− Signs of improving exports

Recent technology deals and stocks price moves have evoked memories of the early 2000s dotcom bubble

The rally of some stocks evokes memories of the

dot-com boom

− After a 600% rally since Jan 2013, Tesla is now

worth half of GM, which sells 400x as many cars

− In China, internet stocks, like Tencent, have

rallied strongly in a falling market

− Netflix stock has almost quadrupled since 2013

Investors have also started to pile cash into tech

firms since the beginning of the year

− Tech debt issuance is at a record

− Tech IPO volume is at the highest since 2004

− Tech M&A at the highest since 2000

Asset price views

Asset Class View Rationale

Equities

Bullish equities Preferred asset class for 2014, see ~10% total returns on stronger earnings and growth

US: overweight 2014 likely a year of normal EPS growth, PEs, total returns and volatility

Mixed recent macro data raises near-term uncertainty. S&P500 attractive below 1,750

Europe: remain bullish Scope for outperformance, especially in the periphery, on upside surprise in credit growth

Expected acceleration in global growth should provide further support

Japan: remain bullish Abenomics to fuel further gains. YTD underperformance provides attractive entry point

Rates US rates to sell-off mildly

Accelerating US growth while inflation remains subdued before normalising later in the year

Environment favourable for a mild rise in US rates, with front-end rates rising to close the

gap with Fed own projections

Further rise only when data concerns are overcome, upward trend of inflation is confirmed

FX Long USD Stronger US growth, Fed exit bias, and recovery in US equity inflows to support the USD

Limited upside to EURUSD Euro supported by (low) real yields due to low inflation – but limited scope for lower yields

While portfolio inflows have been supportive, M&A flows already point to a weaker euro

Short AUDUSD – hedge

against China slowdown Dollar bloc FX among most expensive; AUD has overshot commodities in recent weeks

China slowdown would hurt Australia economy and AUD

Credit Constructive on credit

overall

US: value in short-duration / low quality and long-duration / high quality credit – widest

sectors across the credit spectrum; also most underweight sectors going into 2014

Europe: long IG vs. HY on a levered / ratio basis, as HY has outperformed IG YTD and

appears rich to IG on several metrics

EM Expect continued

differentiation Renewed bouts of pressure likely, as underlying difficulties in weak countries not resolved –

but we don’t expect a generalised sell-off and instead should see continued differentiation

Commodities Short crude oil Rampant US oil supply growth and upside risks to Libyan and Iranian crude oil exports imply

a bearish environment for crude oil in 2014. See drop of $10/bbl

Risks to Fixed Income Positions Macroeconomic fluctuations often account for most of the risks associated with exposures to instruments that promise to pay fixed or variable interest rates. For an investor that is

long fixed rate instruments (thus receiving these cash flows), increases in interest rates naturally lift the discount factors applied to the expected cash flows and thus cause a loss.

The longer the maturity of a certain cash flow and the higher the move in the discount factor, the higher will be the loss. Upside surprises in inflation, fiscal funding needs, and FX

depreciation rates are among the most common adverse macroeconomic shocks to receivers. But counterparty exposure, issuer creditworthiness, client segmentation, regulation

(including changes in assets holding limits for different types of investors), changes in tax policies, currency convertibili ty (which may constrain currency conversion, repatriation of

profits and/or the liquidation of positions), and settlement issues related to local clearing houses are also important risk factors to be considered. The sensitivity of fixed income

instruments to macroeconomic shocks may be mitigated by indexing the contracted cash flows to inflation, to FX depreciation, or to specified interest rates – these are common in

emerging markets. It is important to note that the index fixings may -- by construction -- lag or mis-measure the actual move in the underlying variables they are intended to track.

The choice of the proper fixing (or metric) is particularly important in swaps markets, where floating coupon rates (i.e., coupons indexed to a typically short-dated interest rate

reference index) are exchanged for fixed coupons. It is also important to acknowledge that funding in a currency that differs from the currency in which the coupons to be received

are denominated carries FX risk. Naturally, options on swaps (swaptions) also bear the risks typical to options in addition to the risks related to rates movements.
