FX & Markets Weekly Week 42/2015 DenizBank AG Economic Research and Development Vienna, Austria
EUR money market rates refresh record lows After Euribor rates saw fresh all-time lows a fortnight ago, also EUR Libor rates followed suit. With ECB excess liquidity for the euro area at its highest since January 2013 (has risen to EUR 536,4bn on Tuesday) and money market rates at all-time lows, the ECB s negative deposit rate (-0,2% for overnight deposits) effectively acts as the policy rate. ECB overnight deposits rose above EUR 174bn, its highest level since August. As the ECB s asset purchase programme will run at least until September 2016, also excess liquidity will remain elevated in the euro area hereby pushing EUR money market rates lower. Turkish sovereign bonds rise on CAD improvement This week the central bank of Turkey published upbeat current account balance data. Accordingly, the Turkey current account deficit (CAD) narrowed to USD 163m in August, its lowest level since 2009, down from USD 3,2bn in July and from USD 2,2bn in August 2014. Turkish sovereign bonds rose sending yields lower. Largest changes were recorded in the 2-year segment (-41 bps to 10,38%), followed by 3-years (-26bps to 10,4%). Meanwhile, also the World Bank raised its GDP growth forecast for Turkey to 3,2% this year, vs. previous estimate of 3%. USD extends decline as EM benefits As the U.S. economy continues to send mixed signals, the market keeps on pricing in a possible delay of the initial rate hike. Some Fed speakers remain the only supporters of a rate hike in 2015. In fact the Bloomberg USD spot index that tracks the performance of a basket of 10 currencies vs. the USD has extended its decline since peaking on September 23, when China devalued its Yuan. Overall, sentiment turned more optimistic on risky assets such as EM and commodities. Metals outperformed energy futures. Brazilian stocks drop on Fitch downgrade Fitch downgraded Brazil s sovereign credit rating by 1 notch to BBB-, the lowest investment grade, and kept outlook on negative. Key rating drivers were Brazil s rising government debt, increased challenges to fiscal consolidation and a worsening economic growth outlook. Equities on the Sao Paolo Stock Exchange (Ibovespa Index) dropped by 3,6% compared to last Friday. Back in August Moody s downgraded Brazil to Baa3 its lowest investment grade. In September S&P had cut Brazil already below investment grade ( BB+, with a negative outlook).
