1 Investment Research General Market Conditions 03 December 2013 Danske Daily Market movers today In an otherwise busy week we have a very thin calendar today. In terms of data releases the market will focus on UK PMI construction, which is expected to move sideways at a very high level around 59. In the euro area the consensus expectation is for a further decline in PPI, which is already below zero. However, the data are for October and should not attract much attention. In the evening ECB s Nowotny speaks at an event in Brussels and this is likely to get some attention ahead of the ECB meeting on Thursday. Nowotny has previously said the ECB has a number of measures to fight low inflation and any elaboration will be scrutinised by the market. Denmark releases currency reserve data see page 2. Selected market news Stock markets yesterday dropped as a very strong ISM manufacturing report in the US raised the probability of Fed tapering already in December and pushed bond yields higher, see ISM very robust - raises probability of Fed tapering already in December, 2 December. After a strong rally in October and November and warnings about a new bubble by Robert Shiller recently (see MarketWatch) the stock market may be in for a breather. Stock markets are mixed in Asia with Nikkei higher, while Hang Seng and Chinese stocks are slightly lower. US 10-year yields jumped five bp following the ISM release and have stayed broadly unchanged overnight. The ISM index showed new orders and employment indices at the highest levels since April Interestingly, the 2-year yield did not move much from a level around 0.29%. Hence the very subdued market expectations of the timing and pace of Fed hikes were broadly unchanged after the report. The first hike is priced in November 2015 and the pace of hikes in 2016 and 2017 priced by the market is very slow. EUR/USD got a push lower and has drifted a bit further down following the strong US data.

Chinese PMIs may very well be at a peak, as the investment driven recovery in H2 is expected to level off a bit going into USD/JPY rose further overnight as numbers on the monetary base showed an increase to 5% y/y up from 45.8% in October. We continue to look for further JPY weakening over the next 12 months as Japanese monetary policy continues to be the most aggressive among the big central banks. AUD has fallen slightly overnight after Reserve Bank of Australia said the currency remains uncomfortably high and that a lower currency is needed for balanced growth. Rates were kept unchanged at % in line with consensus. Chief Analyst Allan von Mehren alvo@danskebank.dki Important disclosures and certifications are contained from page 5.of this report.

2 Scandi markets today Danmarks Nationalbank (DN) will publish November's currency reserve figures. EUR/DKK was stable below the central rate in November and DN has therefore not needed to intervene to support DKK. DN has not intervened since January; hence, an independent DN rate hike is not imminent. Eyes will be on Riksbank today as two potential defectors from its hawkish majority hold presentations/speeches today. Deputy Governor Skingsley will talk about the current economic situation in Sweden and abroad at a seminar this morning (08:00 CET) but this will not be published. Deputy Governor Jansson will speak about How do we stop the trend in household debt? ; his speech will be released at noon (12:10 CET). In Norway the retail sales figures for October will be important, as weak consumer spending has been one of the main reasons for the slowdown this year. After the shocking drop in the retail part of the Regional survey on Friday (index dropped to 0, the lowest since Q1 2009) we have to prepare ourselves for another bad number. We expect retail sales to have dropped 0.3% m/m in October. However, should the figure turn out to be better, it would imply that the Regional survey exaggerated the weakening of the retail sector and hence the overall economy in Q4. Fixed Income markets The strong ISM report indicates that the US economy is less affected by the government shutdown than previously thought. If non-farm payrolls on Friday come out around 200,000, we give it a 50% chance that tapering starts already this month. This is probably not that far from what the US Treasury markets are discounting for the 10Y segment. Hence, while the 10Y segment is broadly fair, we believe the 5Y/10Y slope of the US swap curve is too steep, which reflects that the Fed has managed to separate the decision to taper and the expectations of a first hike. Overall, we believe 5Y/10Y should see a bearish flattening as the money market curve should steepen if data continue their current strength. Even in a scenario where data disappoint we should see (bullish) flattening of the 5Y/10Y slope as tapering expectations are pushed further out. Meanwhile in Europe, we believe the case for flattening of the 5Y/10Y is less obvious, as the ECB to a larger extent should be able to maintain its grip on the money market curve given the disinflationary outlook for Europe. US S&P500 future Fri Mon Tue Thu Mon Tue US 10y gov yield Fri Mon Tue Wed Mon Tue Global FX EUR/USD (LHS) USD/JPY (RHS) Fri Mon Wed Thu Sun Tue Scandi FX FX markets Following a Monday during which FX markets traded mainly on PMIs (which mostly turned out stronger than expected - not least in the UK and the US) focus will likely return to key events later in the week. Notably, this could end as a week in which EUR/USD heads lower in anticipation of a dovish ECB on Thursday and a strong payroll report on Friday. Also, watch out for Norwegian retail sales today: a disappointment could pave the way for a dovish Norges Bank and further NOK downside later in the week. Despite strong retail sales and export data out of Australia, AUD dived overnight after the Reserve Bank of Australia kept its cash rate target unchanged at 0% as expected and reiterated that AUD remains uncomfortably high. We still see potential for AUD to head lower from here with the prospect of a challenging year for emerging markets in general and commodity exporters in particular heading into IMM positioning data released yesterday (delayed due to Thanksgiving) showed unwinding of EUR longs leaving net EUR positioning almost square. Thus the FX markets appear to be gradually gearing up for USD strength, suggesting that strong payrolls on Friday, which would raise the chance of December Fed tapering markedly, may not necessarily steer a large move lower in EUR/USD downside.
