South Africa Morning Sheet Today s PPI data (due out at 11h30) should limit residual expectations of another rate cut. There were some suggestions yesterday from the OECD that there is still scope for SARB to loosen policy due to the country s poor growth backdrop. However, we believe the possibility of another rate cut remains remote due to mounting inflationary pressures, especially after the rand s recent weakening. We believe the next move in local policy rates is likely to be up, although not for some time. In this regard, all eyes will be on this morning s local PPI which will contain a new headline PPI definition, and new weightings for the components, so there is greater than usual uncertainty about the reading. StatsSA will now publish separate price series for primary industries and those higher up the value-added chain; the new headline PPI will be the PPI for final manufactured goods. Our PPI forecast is 5.5% y/y, compared with a consensus forecast of 5.4% y/y and 0.3% m/m. We will look particularly at the food components of the PPI to see if anecdotal reports of strong food price pressures at the farm and exchange levels which have hitherto proven absent in the CPI are set to begin filtering through. Market strategy: The ZAR continued to weaken on Monday, especially in relation to the crosses due to growing concerns about SA s fundamental backdrop highlighted in last week s Budget and subsequent record wide trade deficit. What is of particular concern is that foreigners have reduced, albeit only slightly, their holdings of SA bonds in recent days. In the absence of these portfolio inflows, the ZAR would presumably need to weaken in order to help achieve a balance of payments equilibrium. Although the ZAR has failed to take advantage of this year s risk-on global trading environment, the local unit could become increasingly vulnerable to the slew of disappointing data that has been coming out of China in recent days. This morning s worse-than-expected Chinese services PMI data follows last weekend s poor non-manufacturing PMI figures, which collectively bodes ill for the ZAR given that China is SA s largest export destination. More insight onto the health of the global economic recovery will be gleaned from this morning s European manufacturing and retail sales figures as well as this afternoon s ISM services reading out of the US. If these figures, on balance, are disappointing then the ZAR could drift weaker. Emerging Markets Research 5 March 2013 Jeff Gable +27 11 895 5368 jeff.gable@absacapital.com Peter Worthington +27 11 895 5646 peter.worthington@absacapital.com Mike Keenan +27 11 895 5513 mike.keenan@absacapital.com Mamokete Lijane +27 11 895 5612 mamokete.lijane@absacapital.com www.barclays.com Although there was some receiving interest in local rates market on Monday, the appetite for today s weekly bond auction should provide a good gauge of the mood within the local bond market. The Treasury is looking to place R1.1bn worth of R186s, R500m of R214s and R500m of R2023s this week. Given the aforementioned vulnerability of the exchange rate and the increased issuance profile announced at last week s budget, we believe the risk lies in a further bear steepening of the yield curve over the coming weeks, although we would not be surprised to see some characteristic pre-action weakness coming through as early as this morning.
