In July 2018, FX and interest rate trading were both positive with FX gains
spread across a range of EM and DM currency pairs. Gains were also generated
from directional and relative value trading, primarily of US interest rates,
which were partially offset by smaller losses in European rates.

US
Growth in the US surged at an annual rate of 4.1% in Q2, paced by brisk
consumption spending, solid investment outlays, and a jump in exports.
Inventory investment subtracted a full percentage point from real GDP growth
and the need to restock going forward may be a significant tailwind for
growth in the second half of the year. So far, there is no tangible evidence
that trade tensions or higher tariffs are exerting an appreciable drag on the
economy, although some of the increase in exports appears to have been
accelerated in order to beat the imposition of tariffs by trading partners.
In the annual revision, the saving rate was reported to be 6.8% in Q2, a
notable upward revision that implies stronger household fundamentals that
could power consumption further still. Putting the pieces together, the
economy does not appear to be late-cycle, as is commonly assumed due to the
age of the expansion.
The unemployment rate in July dipped to 3.9% and broader measures of labour
market slack improved noticeably. Measures of wages continue to trend up
gently, with the Employment Cost Index for private wages and salaries rising
nearly 3% over the past year. Payroll employment increased by less than
expected in July, partially caused by timing issues around seasonal
fluctuations in employment in education, as well as a one-time closing of a
major retailer.
Headline inflation has been more than 2% for most of the year and, excluding
food and energy, inflation has been hovering just below the Federal Reserve's
target of 2%. Looking forward, higher energy prices will probably keep
headline inflation elevated while the strength of the economy should add a
little to core inflation. However, the appreciation in the exchange value of
the US dollar will probably push in the other direction.
The closely watched developments in trade were mixed. The Trump
administration keeps increasing trade threats against China. However, trade
negotiations with Mexico are making good progress. A temporary ceasefire was
agreed with the Euro area. But, as has proven the case with many Trump trade
policies, the situation is highly fluid.
UK
After what appeared to be a temporary slowdown in the first quarter, economic
activity in the UK has returned to its earlier moderate pace. However, Brexit
as well as recent internal politics struggles act as a headwind on the
economy. According to the Office of National Statistics, the economy grew
0.4% q/q in Q2, up from 0.2% in Q1 (which was upwardly revised by 0.1ppts).
As the largest share of the economy, services output contributed 0.4ppts to
growth. Construction also acted as a tailwind, as the influence of poor
weather in Q1 unwound. However, this was slightly offset by weaker
manufacturing. In general, business surveys such as the Purchasing Managers'
Indexes ("PMI"), which edged back down 1.6pts in July, still suggest that
growth should remain around a pace of 0.4% q/q, a modest rate compared to
historical average, but a level that should be enough to absorb the little
remaining slack in the economy. This is consistent with the fact that the
unemployment rate continues to make new multi-decade lows, most recently
reaching 4.0% in June, the lowest rate since 1975. Robust employment should
support consumption; for example retail sales have grown 3.7% y/y in July, up
from the lows of 1% last year. However, the softness in the housing market
may still act as a drag; although house price growth remains positive at the
national level, activity indicators remain modest. Moreover, tighter
conditions around consumer lending may also act as a headwind to consumption.
Overall, the tightness in the labour market should continue to put upward
pressure on wage growth. Excluding bonuses, wage growth is averaging a pace
of 2.7% 3m/12m, down from the peak of 3% in March, but still near post-crisis
highs. Wage pressure should in turn cause inflation to pick up. Headline
inflation rose 0.1ppts to 2.5% y/y in July, whilst core inflation was
unchanged at 1.9%.
The combination of moderate economic activity, a tight labour market, and
gradually building wage pressure has caused the Bank of England to project
inflation to remain above 2% for most of the projection horizon. It was in
this context that the Monetary Policy Committee ("MPC") voted unanimously to
raise the official bank rate 0.25ppts to 0.75% in August. The key message
from the MPC's statement was left broadly unchanged: "were the economy to
continue to develop broadly in line with [the Bank's] Inflation Report
projections, an ongoing tightening of monetary policy over the forecast
period would be appropriate to return inflation sustainably to the 2% target
at a conventional horizon. Any future increases in Bank Rate are likely to be
at a gradual pace and to a limited extent."
Of course, the state of the Brexit negotiations remains a key risk to the
economic outlook. According to the latest White Paper, the UK aims to achieve
a post-Brexit "association agreement" with the EU, including a "free-trade
area" for goods and a looser arrangement for financial services. On account
of the proposal which was set out at Chequers, various ministers of the
government who were leaning towards a harder Brexit have resigned, including
both Boris Johnson and David Davis. Although not the base case, one concern
is the possibility of a leadership election. There would need to be
signatures from 48 Conservative MPs to trigger a vote of no confidence in the
Prime Minister, which the Prime Minister would have to then lose, before
having a leadership election.
EMU
In Q2 2018, EMU GDP expanded by a mere 0.37% q/q, or 1.5% annualised, exactly
the same as Q1, thus confirming that the downshift in the first three months
of the year relative to the 2.8% recorded in H2 2017 was signal rather than
noise. Not only did these growth dynamics largely disappoint the consensus
forecasts of only a few months ago, but also more importantly, both the March
and the June 2018 European Central Bank ("ECB") macro projections, which
envisaged a growth rate of 0.7% q/q in Q1 and 0.5% q/q in Q2. As such, the
whole ECB medium-term view of robust, above consensus, structural recovery is
being challenged by actual dynamics, which showed only a cyclical recovery in
2016-17, and is fading in 2018. Monthly data also suggests that activity was
not showing signs of a pick-up either at the end of Q2, or at the beginning
of Q3. EMU industrial production fell -0.7% m/m, upsetting consensus
expectations and the EMU Composite PMI fell from 54.9 to 54.3, also
undershooting market forecasts, and was at its lowest level since November
2016.
On the inflation front, July's Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices ("HICP")
inflation rose from 2.0% to 2.1% y/y, driven not only by energy prices, but
also by an, albeit modest, bounce back in Core inflation from 0.9% to 1.1% y/
y, a level still very distant from the ECB threshold. At the July policy
meeting, the ECB was unwilling to make any change to the macroeconomic
outlook which underpinned the June decision to likely end net bond purchases
at the end of 2018, while keeping the current level of policy rates "through
to the summer of 2019". However, should the growth downshift also be
confirmed by incoming data, the ECB should be forced to take account of it in
Enquiries the new macroeconomic projections, which it is likely to present at the 13
September policy meeting.
Japan
The Bank of Japan ("BoJ") took half a step to move away from its yield
control policy. It reaffirmed negative short-term rates, as well as the
target for the 10 year of around zero. However, it widened the band in which
it would allow the 10 year rate to vary to ± 0.20ppts. That was immediately
tested, but the BoJ knocked that rate back down through asset purchases. It
appears that the rate has settled at just above 0.10%, outside of the
previous band, but well inside the new one. Normally, controlling long-term
rates would be a dicey proposition; once markets sniff a change in the target
is coming, it usually tests the central bank to push the outcome. Halfway
measures, like the BoJ's latest action, would normally be quite dangerous,
but as this is Japan, its institutional structures and long-time tradition of
private-public cooperation suggests that the BoJ can still muddle through.
The latest activity data are mixed. Real GDP rose 1.9% at an annual rate in
Q2, better than the previous two quarters. Personal consumption expenditure
increased, while investment and net trade were drags. Industrial production,
on the other hand, dropped sharply in June, with decreases posted in a number
of manufacturing industries. The Economy Watchers survey fell again, and is
at its lowest level in almost two years.
The improvement in wages has not shown through to the broader inflation
complex. Y/Y rates of increases in wage indexes moved up in May. The rate of
increase in scheduled earnings remained relatively high in June. Broader
indexes, which include bonuses accelerated further in June. But, the tenor of
the consumer price inflation data has not changed. National core prices were
unchanged again in June, while western core inflation, prices excluding all
food and energy, slipped on a seasonally adjusted basis. Tokyo data, which
lead the national data by a month, were somewhat better. They moved up for a
second month after outright declines in spring. Consumer inflation
expectations have generally moved sideways this year.
