DJ MARKET TALK: Not As Much Cash On Sidelines As Some Think
Reply
About that whole "cash on the sidelines" argument, John Hussman says it's nonsense. "Analysts are pointing to an apparent pile of corporate 'cash on the sidelines' as if these holdings of debt securities somehow make new corporate spending more likely," writes Hussman. To be sure, if a company has a bunch of marketable securities on its balance sheet, it's obviously free to sell them in order to increase capex. But "the issue is that somebody else has to buy those securities," Hussman says. "At the end of the day, there is no less 'cash on the sidelines' after that change of ownership than there was before." DJ

FOMC Poses Key Event Risk For NZD/USD-Westpac
FOMC, early tomorrow morning NZD time, poses significant event risk for NZD/USD given speculation Fed may announce some form of additional monetary easing. Until then, previous day's ranges remain largely intact, says Westpac Bank. Pair last 0.7289. Tips a range of 0.7250-0.7320, says break below "raising the odds a larger reversal has begun."

Don't Expect Much Change From Fed This Week
Speculation swirling that the Fed this week could announce additional measures to boost the economic recovery. But University of Oregon economics professor Tim Duy isn't so sure. "My baseline expectation is that the FOMC statement acknowledges the weakness in recent data, but leaves the current policy stance intact," he says, noting its "very unlikely" the Fed will move to expand its balance sheet. "Uncertainty about the effectiveness of additional easing argues against more action, especially given relatively quiescent financial markets and positive, albeit lackluster, growth."

Bank of Japan Policy Decision. Time uncertain.
With Rates Virtually at Zero. No Rate Changes are seen. Keep an eye on their economic assessment
Often a major event for forex and other financial markets. After all, forex price swings boil down to money flows. Through their money market activities, Central Banks set the “cost of money” (interest rates). Most target a short-term interest rate. Virtually all central banks, explicitly (or implicitly) target inflation in the medium term, so many traders track price trends closely as an indicator of policy. Central Bank watchers also usually dig deep into central bank policy statements for clues about future policy decisions.

Fed Decision due Tuesday @ 18:15 GMT
Preview from Lloyds TSB Weekly on the GVI Blog
"Friday’s disappointing payrolls report has added to the excitement and uncertainty around this week’s FOMC interest rate decision. Recent leaks, added to comments from Fed officials, indicate a decent chance that the FOMC could decide to take further measures to support the economy on Tuesday. The most likely change appears to be the reinvestment of cash received from maturing holdings of mortgage backed securities (MBS) into additional MBS or Treasuries, but other options are also available.
On balance, we do not expect a change to policy at this meeting, as it appears too premature given signs that growth has sustained into the current quarter (both ISM surveys were above expectations in July and showed expansion), however we would not be surprised should it happen.

Reply
North Korea has fired shells into the Yellow Sea near its disputed maritime border with the South, South Korean media report.
It reportedly opened fire around 1730 local time (0830 GMT), directing shells into its own waters.
The firing came as Seoul was ending a huge naval exercise which had provoked warnings of retaliation from the North.

Chinese banks dominated headlines last week as stress-tests were performed by the China Banking Regulatory Commission (CBRC). The results showed 20% of all outstanding loans to state-owned companies were in trouble as of the end of June, according to an unidentified CBRC official. The official quoted in the Japanese business newspaper Nikkei said the loans failed to meet lending standards and could results in default, although “the risks are still manageable, and the loans are not seen as non-performing”. The report put the total amount of current loans to state-controlled firms at 7.7 trillion yuan meaning that 1.54 trillion yuan are in the ‘problem’ category.

Russia Needs Higher Oil Price To Sustain Growth
Reply
Russia needs higher oil prices to sustain economic growth in 2H 2010, Danske Markets says. "Without a significant rise in the oil price, the trade balance won't be able to support GDP growth in 2H 2010, as imports are increasing rapidly," analysts say. "The Russian economy is losing steam and desperately needs new sources of growth." Notes the Russian trade balance surplus in 1H 2010 was $93.9Bln, up 78% year-on-year. Says that even though growth of the surplus slowed in Q2 from the previous quarter, it appears to have been the main GDP growth driver in Q2 along with consumption.

ECB May Need To Revive 6-Month Liquidity Facility
Reply
Banks in peripheral euro zone countries remain reliant on ECB funding and the central bank may need to reintroduce 6-month and perhaps 12-month liquidity facilities, says Harvinder Sian at RBS. Spanish and Portuguese banks in particular have been borrowing heavily from the ECB in recent months. "We doubt that the stress test results will allow a notable turnaround in this reliance because outside of the very large banks, foreign funding of the periphery banking system is unlikely to reach 2009 levels, resulting in rollover risk," he says

Russia Heat May Give Investors Cold Feet
Reply
Severe heat, drought and wildfires are affecting the Russian economy and may hurt investor sentiment toward the country, UralSib Capital says. "While Russian equity and currency markets are driven primarily by external events, the prolonged heat wave, drought, and effect of the raging fires is undoubtedly having an influence on the economy, though the full effects are unlikely to become clear until the September data," strategist Chris Weafer says. "Meanwhile, investors will be increasingly concerned about the possible negative effects, and this will soon start to affect valuations in industries most at risk and the perception of country risk generally."

Home loans sink to a nine-year low
Reply
The number of home loans in Australia has fallen to a nine-year low, in the latest sign of emerging weakness in the nation's housing market.Total loans for owner-occupied homes dropped 3.9 per cent in June, reversing a revised 3 per cent increase in May, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.The pace of new home-loan growth has slowed over the past year as higher interest rates raised costs, home-price growth stalled and the amount of cash available to first-home buyers through government grants shrank. June's fall was the tenth drop in the monthly gauge in the past 12 months.
Auction clearance rates - a key measure of the strength of the market - have weakened since the start of the year, and other indicators have also weakened. Building approvals, which give an indication of future growth, dropped by 3.3 per cent in June, the third straight month of falls.
Construction loans fell 5 per cent, loans for new homes dropped 4.5 per cent and loans for existing homes dropped 3.7 per cent, according to seasonally adjusted ABS data out today.

Tourists Shun Greece, Try Turkey
Reply
That is bad news for Greece, which is already facing declining growth and budget deficits. Tourism makes up about 15% of the country's gross domestic product, and many economists say this summer's tourist season will be critical for a weakened economy that is forecast to shrink around 4% this yearLINK
ROME—Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's break with a key political ally could pave the way for early elections, his spokesman said Thursday.
"The prime minister warned everyone … to 'get ready' for possible elections," Paolo Bonaiuti said on Italian television.

Everything's Fine With Greece, Just Ignore Some Facts
Reply
Little wonder, given some of the facts the monitors chose to downplay. Regional and local governments and entities continue to spend money they don't have. Tax evasion by high earners continues, the authorities so far being unable to get their collection procedures in order, or to cope with threats of tax flight. High-income ship owners, who flaunted their wealth at their champagne-sodden semi-annual "Posidonia" bash, are prepared to suffer exile in the south of France if the government tries to force them to pay taxes bills. Or even endure the less agreeable climate of London.Then there are the banks. Their capital is declining and their bad loans rising, both trends that will accelerate as the economy contracts by a predicted 4% this year. And if the summer tourist season is as poor as many expect— television pictures of riots in Athens and terrorist threats are redirecting those seeking a bit of relaxation in the sun to Spain and Turkey—the projection of a 4% decline might prove to be an understatement: tourism has traditionally accounted for 15% of Greek GDP. Finally, the overall euro zone economic recovery, powered by Germany's exports, well might bypass Greece, which has little to sell increasingly affluent Germans.
If the German taxpayer wearies of financing the Greek bailout, default will become inevitable. Such weariness might set in if what Federico Sturzenegger and Jeromin Zettelmeyer (professor at the Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires, and Director for Policy Studies at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, respectively) call "skeletons" are exhumed. In their comprehensive study, "Debt Defaults and Lessons From a Decade of Crises," the authors note that such skeletons—explicit debt that might not be on the government books, such as pension obligations or guarantees to specific constituencies—"have a habit of showing up in crisis times."

China July Exports, Imports Growth Likely Sharply Slower
Reply
China's exports growth likely slowed significantly in July, following a surge in exports in June ahead of the withdrawal of export tax rebates for some commodities on July 15, while imports growth likely weakened on moderating domestic demand and softening global commodity prices, economists said.
The weaker export growth will likely further discourage Beijing from allowing the yuan to rise quickly, as a stronger domestic currency will weigh on exporters, who are already suffering from higher labor costs amid an uncertain outlook due to the fragile global economic recovery and sovereign debt crisis in Europe, economists said.

North Korea May Have Seized South Korean Fishing Boat Off Peninsula's East
By Bomi Lim - Aug 9, 2010 9:47 AM GMT+0800
North Korea seized a South Korean fishing boat off the peninsula’s east coast, raising tensions after the communist country threatened “physical retaliation” for the South’s joint military drills with the U.S.
A North Korean patrol was towing the 41-ton Daeseung into the North’s territory yesterday, according to the last communication from the vessel, a South Korean Coast Guard official said yesterday by phone. Four South Koreans and three Chinese were aboard the boat, said the official, who couldn’t be named, in line with government policy.
South Korea hasn’t communicated with North Korean authorities on the seizure and officials are closely watching the situation, Unification Ministry spokeswoman Lee Jong Joo said today by telephone in Seoul.
The boat may have crossed the sea border into North Korean waters, Yonhap News reported yesterday, citing an unidentified South Korean coast guard official. The exact location of the boat at the time of the seizure can’t be verified, the coast guard official said.
“The crew and property of any fishing vessel detained by North Korea should be well-treated and we hope for their quick and safe return,” said Ben Chang, a spokesman for the U.S. National Security Council. “We support the Republic of Korea’s call for this matter to be resolved quickly in accordance with international law.”

Aussie Housing Finance Drops Sharply In June
Reply
Australian housing finance fell 3.9% in June from May, outstripping expected 2.0% fall. Data is further evidence that conditions in the housing sector have slowed sharply in recent months as higher interest rates take a toll on demand. Investor finance was down 3.6% by value in July. It further affirms the market's current view that the RBA will be sidelined for much of the coming 12 months. Also Monday, ANZ Job Ads survey data showed a 1.3% rise in July, affirming the picture of resilience in the country's job market. The Australian dollar was unaffected by either report.

Dollar falls broadly against most currencies on disappointing U.S. jobs data
Dollar tumbled against most of its counterparts on Friday as release of weak U.S. non-farm payrolls data added speculation that the Federal Reserve may need to take more stimulus measures at its next meeting on Tuesday to prevent the U.S. economy from going into a double-dip recession.
Although the greenback edged higher against the Japanese yen in Asia after Thursday's weakness to 85.71, renewed selling at 86.19 in European morning capped intra-day rise. The pair then tanked to a fresh 8-month low of 85.02 after the release of weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls and later staged a minor recovery in NY afternoon.
U.S. non-farm payrolls in July fell 131k, more than market forecast of minus 65k. The drop in payrolls showed the rise in private-sector employment was not enough to make up for the government jobs lost, however, the unemployment rate stayed unchanged at 9.5%. U.S. 2-year Treasury note yield dropped below 0.5% for the first time ever, suggesting market is getting more pessimistic on U.S. economy. Market is speculating the Fed may consider taking steps (quantitative easing) to support the fragile U.S. economy at next Tuesday's FOMC meeting.
Earlier in Tokyo morning, the head of one of Japan's business lobbies said that 'the government should not intervene in the forex market despite a firmer yen, which weighs heavily on Japanese exporters' profitability.'
Although the single currency traded sideways in Asia on Friday and retreated from 1.3204 to an intra-day low of 1.3157 after the release of weaker-than-expected German industrial production data which fell by 0.6% in June versus the economists' forecast of 0.7% rise, the pair swiftly rallied above Tuesday's high of 1.3262 after the release of weak U.S.jobs data. The single currency eventually hit a fresh 3-month high of 1.3334 and then retreated on profit-taking.
The British pound also traded narrowly in tandem with euro in Asia and ratcheted higher to 1.5920 in European morning, sterling fell sharply to an intra-day low of 1.5840 after the release of disappointing U.K. economic data. However, cable then rallied after release of U.S. non-farm payrolls and hit a fresh 6-month high of 1.5999 in NY morning after triggering stops above 1.5925 and then 1.5968, sterling later retreated on profit-taking and weekend long liquidation.
U.K. industrial production came in at -0.5% m/m and 1.3% y/y (forecasts were 0.2% m/m and 2.0% y/y) whilst U.K. manufacturing production rose by 0.3% m/m and 4.1% y/y, against the economists' expectations of 0.3% m/m and 4.0% y/y.
U.S. and European equities fell on Friday due to weaker-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls. DJI once dropped by more than 150 points but later pared most of its intra-day losses and closed the day down by 21 points, or 0.2% at 10,654. FTSE-100, CAC-40 and DAX fell by 0.62%, 1.28% and 1.17% respectively.
In other news which came out in European morning, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that it withdrew its 'AAA' long-term and 'A-1+' short-term issuer credit rating on Swiss National Bank, dollar swiss briefly rebounded to 1.0509 on this news but later fell to a near 8-month low of 1.0332 in New York morning after the U.S. jobs report.
Earlier in Asia, the Reserve Bank of Australia released its Quarterly Monetary Policy Statement and said it stuck to its forecasts for domestic growth to accelerate to 4% over the next two years, driven by a boom in trade and mining investment, but still expected underlying inflation to stay within its target. However, RBA gave little guidance on the outlook on interest rates and said only that it thought the current setting of monetary policy was appropriate at this stage.
