隔夜,欧洲经济研究中心表示,德国11月ZEW经济景气指数略有下降,风险资产遭遇打击。我们认为,如果亚洲区域公布的经济数据依然坚挺的话,这些数据仍可成为推动全球经济持续复苏的动力。今日上午公布的日本9月核心机械订单数据意外大幅上扬(实际值:环比上涨10.5%,预期值:环比上涨2.9%)。近期公布的韩国和中国台湾的贸易数据也大大好于市场预期,与此同时,北亚的贸易报告也尤为重要,因为这些报告的释放先于其他国家的贸易数据,而且还是经济的领先指标。中国,作为世界经济增长的引擎,其在今日释放的经济数据依旧强劲:10月工业增加值年率上升16.1%,预期上升15.5%;10月零售销售年率上升16.2%,预期上升15.7%。长远来看,我们预期人民币对美元升值幅度大约为4.5%至5%,略高于NDF市场对人民币对美元升值幅度的判断。世界经济史告诉我们,像中国这样的经济快速增长的经济体,由于工业产值的快速增值,其货币对成熟经济体的货币的升值幅度很容易在30-70%的区间内实现。
德国11月ZEW领先指标差于预期,从上月的56.0回落至51.1(而预期值为上月55.0)。尽管当前现况指数(德国11月ZEW 经济现况指数)上涨至-65.6(前值为 -72.2),但我们的经济学家指出,该结果证实在未来数月里,德国的V型反弹或将失去动力。疲软的增长势头现已成为欧元区的关键风险,投资者对欧元的买进缺乏兴趣或将限制该货币的收益。欧洲央行执委会委员斯塔克表示,欧洲央行可能会在加息之前就开始撤出长期融资政策,即“一旦货币出现升值风险,那货币市场怎会出现好转迹象?”。斯塔克说,“下个月的欧洲央行会议就是我们考察长期融资计划的第一个机会”。
昨天,一些美联储官员暗示,美联储还没有想要转移其政策立场的意思。亚特兰大联储主席洛克哈特,旧金山联储主席耶伦,以及波士顿联储主席罗森格伦,都表示承认最终将实行紧缩政策的重要性,但还是特别强调对经济复苏形势应持谨慎态度。尽管美联储就货币政策存在分歧,但他们的意见似乎加强了美联储或将维持低利率至更长一段时间的可能性,这令美元承压。长短期政府债券收益率最近有所上涨,主要反映出通货膨胀预期也有所上扬。因通货膨胀率在加速上涨,就算其期望值仍然相对较低,但仍不可避免在未来数月里或将进一步攀升的可能性。然而,我们仍预计,随着全球经济复苏的逐步进行,至2010年,通货膨胀预期和债券收益率或将回落下来。
自新西兰储备银行公布2009年11月金融稳定报告后,新西兰央行行长波兰德表示要警惕纽元的升值影响。他说,货币目前的水平是不可能持久的,持续升值的力量将会导致经常账户赤字状况无法获得改善。我们正在等待新西兰央行在2010年第一季度的首次加息。尽管央行采取强硬态度,应保持澳元的稳定以支持目前的经济状况,但我们期待当新西兰储备银行最终在2010年第一季度加息后,纽元必将大幅升值。
瑞士央行的乔丹说,没有必要改变货币政策,但当前必须清楚低利率对金融稳定造成了一定的风险。他还表示,货币政策已达到其目标。我们预期,直到12月的货币政策评估,瑞士央行不会改变其货币政策。我们将继续认为,在未来三个月里,欧元兑瑞士法郎的目标汇率为1.52。
今天的关键事件是英国央行的通胀报告和记者招待会,或将强化英国央行已经接近结束其量化宽松政策的预期。特别是,新释放的预测可能会表明,通货膨胀前景大致符合进两年间的目标值。否则,货币政策委员会也不会在上周四的货币政策委员会会议上减缓其资产购买的速度。然而,我们期待该委员会的预测仍然是基于经济增长将大幅反弹回升。如果恢复的变得更加缓慢,我们预期,更多的政策松动,可能仍有必要。
Market Brief
Risk correlated trades continue to appreciate and are showing no signs of weakening. In fact, there are fundamental reasons why the rally should continue. First, several Fed officials suggested that the Fed is still not close to shifting its policy stance. Fed Presidents Lockhart, Yellen and Rosengren, in particular, sounded wary on the economic recovery, even as they recognized the significance of eventual policy tightening. Their comments apparently supported the feeling that the Fed would keep rates ultra loose for a while, which has caused the USD to depreciate broadly. The recent rise in the long end of the US yield curve reflects concerns over inflation, but hasn’t shifted enough to warrant reconsidering inflation expectations. In Asia, stronger economic data also help support risk taking, as Japanese core machine orders and Chinese industrial production and retail sales surprised to the upside. In addition, Both Korean and Taiwanese trade data also exceeded expectations recently, which is important because these trade figures generally act as leading indicators. EURUSD rose to 1.5049 while spot Gold climbed to $1117.33oz.
In New Zealand, RBNZ Governor Bollard cautioned on recent kiwi strength. He stated that the currency's current price was unsustainable and that continued strength could deter progress in the current account. The Governor's word did little to dampen NZD strength as the NZDUSD climbed to 0.7440. However, these comments highlight a rising concern by policymakers globally over the recent USD slide and we should expect increasingly hawkish rhetoric.
The key event on this light calendar day will be the Bank of England Inflation Report and press conference. Markets expect that today will reinforce expectations that the central bank is nearing the end of their QE program, due to the fact that inflation will be nearing their two year inflation target. Perhaps the core uncertainty will be the committee’s forecasts on economic growth. We are expecting a decent rebound, which would additionally support the end / indefinite pause in QE. While the last couple inflation reports have been negative for the sterling, should our central belief (recovery, end of QE and rising inflation) come to fruition we believe it will be GBP positive.
