17 March 2014

DISCLOSURES AND ANALYST CERTIFICATIONS ARE LOCATED IN APPENDIX 1. MICA(P) 054/04/2013.


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 Economic outlook  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

Central bank watch  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

Key risks to our view

Views on key themes  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’ Deutsche Bank Research

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

Mixed data, e.g., retail sales softness have raised concerns over the health of the US economy 8%

Labour market improvement and resulting wage inflation should lead the Fed to signal a change in policy in H2  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

Average hourly earnings (total private industries): US wages are trending up – pointing to a firmer job market than anticipated

 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

Wages are trending up, and once wage inflation takes hold it continues for 45 years

Rapid credit growth and the rise of shadow banking have raised fears over the health of China’s financial system  Non-traditional and shadow banking have contributed to a sharp rise in credit growth

China credit flow: years of high credit growth, sustained by rise of non-traditional lending and shadow banking 2500

 These new forms of lending developed to circumvent 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 …Restructuring of a WMP in January …First-ever corporate bond default in March Deutsche Bank Research

Description of key shadow banking products

Wealth management products (WMP)

 Widespread savings products for private investors  Offer higher returns than traditional deposits  Investors wrongly perceive them as guaranteed by commercial banks

Trust loans

 Direct form of financing  Offer funding to credit-starved private sector  Client funds (wealthy individuals, cash-rich corporates) used to finance loans to the real economy or invested in financial assets  Also offer higher returns than traditional deposits

Note: (*) SOE = State-owned enterprises

13


In our view these concerns are overdone and we do not expect a systemic credit crisis similar to the US subprime crisis  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

Credit-starved private sector to see funding costs come down, as the subsidy to the public sector gets removed Private sector is ~2/3 of GDP, but receives less 1/5 of credit

32%

 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 Deutsche Bank Research

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 Deutsche Bank Research

 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

 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 USDdenominated 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

“A sceptic would have to be blind not to see bubbles inflating in [...] stock market valuations of fashionable companies like Netflix and Tesla” Seth Klarman, Baupost Group, Mar-2014

 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 …Facebook paid USD 19bn for WhatsApp, a company with 55 employees and USD 20m of revenues in 2013

 Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp can help it solidify its position as the top company in mobile − FB paid $42 per user for WhatsApp vs. $33 for Instagram; current market valuations per user are $123 for Twitter and $170 for FB − $19bn is in line with revenue per user that other messaging models in Asia are able to generate − Also a defensive move: WhatsApp’s rapid growth could easily have cost FB future sales (up to the 8% of market cap it paid in stock)

 Tesla’s current valuation would require rapid growth with little disruption, a very optimistic scenario − Tesla is currently valued at $1.2m per vehicle, vs. $40k for BMW and $10k for GM − Tesla aims to produce 500k cars by 2020, implying production will surge by 55% p.a. − Tesla faces significant uncertainties over cost, future battery supply, its distribution network and competition from traditional manufacturers compressing margins

Asset price views Asset Class

View

Rationale

 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

Equities

 Limited upside to EURUSD  Short AUDUSD – hedge against China slowdown

   

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 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

Deutsche Bank Research

 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 convertibility (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. Deutsche Bank Research
