February 6, 2015 Global Markets Research Daily Market Highlights . Key Takeaways Overnight Economic Data MA US Investors turned to risk-off mode following ECB’s announcement to cut funding to debt-stricken Greece. The EU commission, ECB and IMF-collectively known as the troika- did not come to an agreement with Greece’s new government on conditions of the bailout. ECB will no longer take Greek bonds as collateral for cash. No surprises from BOE as the central bank maintained interest rate at 0.5% and asset purchase target at £375B.On the local front, Malaysia’s exports staged a surprised pick-up to increase 2.7% yoy in Dec, contributed by higher E&E exports and rebound in LNG shipment. Imports jumped 4.2% in Dec versus 0.1%, bringing trade balance to RM 9.2bn. EU UK Government Bond Yield USD weakened against 9 G10s overnight while the Dollar Index slipped to a 2-week low of 93.52, impacted by strong rallies in European majors, particularly EUR. We expect USD to stay soft going into employment data, with scope for a moderate / strong rally if US data outperforms. MYR weakened 0.33% to 3.5742 against USD on the back of renewed decline in oil prices, but narrowed its losses following better than expected Malaysian exports data. Overnight weaker USD should allow MYR to appreciate in early trading but we set sights on some weakness in later trading on paring of positions going into the weekend. MYR Govvies trading volume fell to about RM 4.8b with most benchmarks offered as sentiment remained dampened by sagging overnight markets. The 10y yield was traded higher by 1bp to 3.75% while yields on the 5y, 15y and 20y also gained 1bp each to 3.63%, 4.08% and 4.33% respectively. We expect yields to likely stay on the uptrend on expectations of MYR weakness tracking sliding oil prices as well as some position offloading going into the weekend.

Trade deficit widened to $46.6B in Dec from $39.0B in Nov, as imports grew due to the stronger USD. Data from UK mostly came with no surprises yesterday. The central bank will maintain the £375B asset purchase target, the same since July 2012. Also in line with expectation, BOE kept interest rate unchanged and accommodative at 0.5% as concern with low inflation persisted. To add to the string of recent solid data, house prices jumped 8.5% in Jan, beating the forecasted 7.7% and previous reading of 7.8%. ECB cut funding to Greece, pushing the burden of supporting the country’s banks back to Athens, as the central bank refuse to accept Greek bonds as collaterals for cashas Greece and the troika fail to come to an agreement on bailout terms. Separately, ECB highlighted falling oil prices as catalyst for growth in the latest economic bulletin, while some of the key challenges towards recovery of the 19 nation bloc were high unemployment, underutilized capacity and the necessary balance sheet adjustments in the private and public sectors. Market’s focus was on the troika and Greece, overshadowing eurozone’s modest Jan retail PMI of 46.6 as it declined against the 47.6 print recorded in Dec. Australia’s performance of construction index was up 45.9 in Jan versus 44.4 in Dec. The increase was contributed by higher employment (47.5 in Jan, 39.9 in Dec) and selling prices (46.0 in Jan, 42.5 in Dec) while slightly offset by the decline in capacity utilization (66.5 in Jan, 72.5 in Dec). Back home, exports staged a surprised pick-up to increase 2.7% yoy in Dec, contributed by higher E&E exports and rebound in LNG shipment. Imports increased at a much faster pace of 4.2% in Dec versus 0.1% in Nov, bringing trade balance to a narrower RM 9.2bn. Shipment to China contracted for six consecutive months but was offset by higher exports to the US (+RM1.3bn), EU (+RM1.2bn), South Korea. Spike in imports on consumption goods was likely boosted by seasonal demand.

Weakness of MYR persisted particularly against major currencies, with the exception of EUR. MYR strengthened against the USD in today’s open but we opine that reversal will likely take place in later trading session amid paring of positions ahead of the week’s close and US data tonight. USD USD weakened against 9 G10 on the back of rally in European majors, particularly that of EUR. The Dollar Index closed at its lowest in 2 week at 93.52, sliding through all sessions, most in European trading. Expect USD to soften up ahead of US employment data, carrying a slight overnight downside momentum; we caution that there is potential for a moderate / strong rally if US data outperforms. EUR EUR strengthened against 8 G10 and 1.16% against USD to 1.1477, led by improved sentiment in Greece following agreement by ECB to extend funding to Greek banks, potentially preventing an onset of another crisis.

GBPUSD is slightly bullish in our view going into European and US trading, but we caution that solid US data would quickly dampen current strength. 0.57 CNY 0.00 GBP 0.33 GBP -0.50 US trading tonight but we caution that current optimism stemming from Greece is likely to be brief. Solid US data would quickly overturn EURUSD gains. 0.77 0.50 1.00 JPY JPY normalized 0.21% against USD to 117.53 and fell against all G10s following a decline in refuge demand as Europe rallied. We expect JPY to trade slightly bearish, as demand for the currency is likely to ebb following the cheer in Europe. AUD AUD rebounded to level seen in the beginning of the week at 0.7798, up 0.58% against a weak USD but was mixed against the G10s, outperformed by European majors. We expect AUD to trend slightly higher against a soft USD heading into US employment data. SGD SGD closed 0.26% higher against a soft USD yesterday but weakened against 8 G10, mostly offset by gains in European majors. We expect SGD to be slightly bearish as risk aversion will likely pick-up ahead of US employment data. 3 Fixed Income US T T e nure C lo s ing ( %) 2-yr UST 0.52 C hg ( bps ) -4 5-yr UST 1.30 -5 10-yr UST 1.82 -7 30-yr UST 2.43 -8 M GS US Treasuries G II* T e nure C lo s ing ( %) 3-yr 3.49 C hg ( bps ) 0 C lo s ing ( %) 3.71 C hg ( bps ) 0 5-yr 3.63 1 3.89 0 7-yr 3.68 0 3.98 0 10-yr 3.75 1 4.08 0 15-yr 4.08 1 4.36 0 20-yr 4.33 1 4.57 0 30-yr 4.59 0 MGS * M arket indicative levels M Y R IR S Le v e ls IR S C lo s ing ( %) 1-yr 3.71 2 3-yr 3.72 2 5-yr 3.80 1 7-yr 3.91 1 10-yr 4.00 4 UST rallied with following on the back of continued decline in oil prices as well as some refuge demand ahead of US employment data tonight.
