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.
