Overview: US equity markets are up about 20 bps headed into the open, though it should be noted
that thanks to some negative data from Europe the market is off overnight highs. The dollar is at four
month lows, UST rates continue to fall, curves are still steepening, but 2s10s has run up against re-
sistance. Commodity prices are mostly higher, while credit spreads are plunging both in the US and
Europe in response to yesterday’s dovish Fed. Gold continues to run and run hard, up four days in a
row for a total gain of 3.34%, the best since the yellow metal’s post-Brexit rally.
Yesterday, the BEA announced a partial timeline for economic data delayed by the shutdown; you can
view BEA’s here and the Census one here. It will probably be awhile before all the data is back to its
normal schedule. In the meantime, US data today includes ECI at 8:30, new home sales for November
at 10:00 AM, jobless claims (8:30), and Chicago PMI (9:45). Economic scorecard.
APAC Markets: Markets
roared higher in response to
the extremely dovish pivot by
the Fed, led by H-shares
(+1.3%) and India (+1.9%). A-
shares and Indonesia were
also up over 1%. In FX, virtual-
ly everything is up versus USD.
While AUD and NZD have the
biggest moves versus the dol-
lar since Tuesday’s close
(+1.7% and +1.2%), EM cross-
es have really broken out. In
addition, Chinese yuan is in
full blown rally mode with
USDCNH crashing below its
200-DMA in dramatic fashion
during the day yesterday.
Europe Markets: European
indices are less ecstatic this
morning than in the US with
Italy’s FTSE MIB down almost
half a percent on very large
volumes (more than double typical for this time of the session). The source of angst is Q4 GDP, which
showed the economy in recession. We’ll discuss European GDP more in the subsequent pages, but
suffice to say Italy remains a shockingly terrible grower relative to other Eurozone economies. Rates
are mostly unchanged, EURUSD is up for a 5th day running, but credit is rallying dramatically, with
iTraxx Xover (high yield) down over 12 bps in spread today thanks to the dovish Fed yesterday. It’s hard
to worry about Europe too much with that kind of credit price action!

Global Data: Similar to last
night, there was a huge swath of
global data released overnight
that we will recap at length this
morning.
South Korea Leading Indicators:
For the last seven months
(ending in December), leading
indicators in South Korea have
dropped sequentially, the worst
such run since the 13 months
ended January of 2009. While a
better coincident than leading
indicator in our view, this series
has been unhappy for a long
time and continues to suggest
weak growth in Korea.
South Korea IP: Industrial pro-
duction missed by a wide margin
in South Korea with a 1.4% drop
rather than the 0.2% forecast;
manufacturing was down 1.8%
MoM in December, the worst
since September’s 2.3% drop.
The only good news—if you can
call it that—is that capacity has
been declining of late, reducing
slack as output continues its
sluggish climb higher.
Italian Sentiment: Japanese in-
dustrial production numbers
actually beat (along with hous-
ing starts) but still dropped on
the month. As shown at left, the
current sluggish pace of manu-
facturing production growth is
pretty consistent with surveys.

China PMI: Shifting gears to
Chinese PMI, both manufactur-
ing and Services PMIs beat ex-
pectations and rose this month.
For manufacturing PMIs in Chi-
na, new export orders have
been a huge drag in the recent
deceleration. As shown at right,
in December new export orders
were reported to be shrinking
at roughly the same pace as Q1
of ‘16 when they bottomed.
Recent reports have showed a
bottoming process may be play-
ing out; MoM new export or-
ders were the most improved
versus last month since May.
Other indicators like output
also ticked up.
For right now, it’s hard to get
too excited about PMI data
from China but it at least gives
hopes that “green shoots” may
start sprouting in that part of
the global economy again soon.
For now, the rapid slowing of
Chinese profits is confirmation
that PMIs are still in tough
shape, although definitely not
in the same kind of trouble they
were in 2015-2016.
Finally, we note that while
manufacturing PMI has deterio-
rated a lot, Services has held up
much better. The result is a big
outperformance of Services
over Manufacturing, the big-
gest in more than half a decade
in fact.

Eurozone GDPs: Yesterday,
French GDP beat estimates.
Today, it was the turn of Spain,
where growth picked up to
0.7% QoQ. As shown at left, of
the “core four” Eurozone econ-
omies which account for 80% of
the bloc’s output, only Italian
GDP has worsened sequentially.
Italy’s GDP is now down a sec-
ond quarter in a row, making it
three recessions (by that com-
mon definition) since the global
financial crisis.
At least the rest of the Euro-
zone is in better shape. In the
chart at left we show QoQ
growth rates by economy re-
ported so far, along with an
implied growth rate for the
46.2% of the zone by output
that has not yet reported
growth for Q4. Of that remain-
ing chunk, about two-thirds is
Germany. Given that, it’s un-
likely German growth was neg-
ative again in Q4 after a brutal
Q3 where it even lagged Italy!
Eurozone Labor: Italy, Germa-
ny, and the broad Eurozone all
released December unemploy-
ment data today, and while the
German methodology differs
from the other two, we can say
all three show ongoing im-
provement in labor markets
even as growth has slowed at
the margin over the last two
quarters.

Standout Spain: Despite a
weakening of the backdrop
across the Eurozone, Spain’s
GDP growth has not fallen out
of the bottom of its 2.2%-3.9%
QoQ SAAR growth range of the
past few years. We note that
range tracks pretty well to the
range the Spanish economy oc-
cupied during the “boom” years
of the 2000s when investment
exploded thanks to massive cap-
ital inflows. This time, though,
Spanish growth looks much
more sustainable.
As shown at right, the huge and
growing current account deficits
of the 2000s (representing the
mirror image of capital inflows)
have disappeared, with the cur-
rent account running a persis-
tent but small surplus since
2013. That surplus has dropped
recently, but even still looks to-
tally reasonable and nothing like
the imbalances of the 2000s.
Tourism growth has been una-
ble to accelerate over the past
year after surging from 2013
onward. That, along with higher
oil prices and slower global de-
mand overall are an explanation
of the weaker Spanish current
account surplus over the last
few quarters. If tourism returns
to growth, so will Spanish cur-
rent account surpluses but at
worst small deficits are not a
significant concern.

US Earnings: Facebook (FB) shook off privacy concerns to report a blow-out Q4 last night, and is up
11% on massive revenues and margins. Tesla (TSLA) is down almost 5% after the CFO retired last night
in the wake of a big EPS miss. In energy, ConocoPhillips (COP) smashed estimates and raised its divi-
dend more than expected. With the 40% of the S&P 500 having reported, every sector is reporting rev-
enue growth of over 1% YoY, and only 1 sector (Materials) is reporting an EPS decline versus last year.
