THE WEEK AHEAD - CIBC World Markets
The Week Ahead June 15-19, 2015 The Fed Should Not Listen to the IMF by Benjamin Tal Ditto for the Fed’s hiking moves during these cycles. In early 1994 the Fed started hiking in an environment of decelerating core inflation (left Chart). In 1999 the Fed again elected to start tightening despite the fact that core inflation was basically trendless (middle Chart). http://research. cibcwm.com/res/Eco/ EcoResearch.html The 1999 Experience 5.0 4.0 4.0 Fed Funds Target Rate PCE Core: Y/Y Jan-06 0.0 May-99 1.0 0.0 Feb-99 1.0 Aug-98 2.0 Nov-98 Oct-94 May-94 Jul-93 Dec-93 PCE Core: Y/Y 2.0 Jul-05 3.0 3.0 Fed Funds Target Rate % 5.0 Jan-05 6.0 The 2004 Experience 6.0 % Jul-04 7.0 % Feb-93 7.0 6.0 5.0 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 Jan-04 The 1994 Experience Sep-92 “When you chase a lagging indicator you overshoot.” The Fed wants to move very slowly during the upcoming tightening cycle. In order to do that, Yellen will have to fire the first bullet prior to any notable acceleration in inflation. Jul-03 Nick Exarhos (416) 956-6527 [email protected] Jan-03 Royce Mendes (416) 594-7354 [email protected] In mid-1989, the Fed started cutting rates while still facing a relatively high rate of inflation. Between mid-1989 and early 1991, the Fed eased policy by no less than 200 basis points. During that period, core inflation accelerated by 0.7 percentage points. Similarly in late 2000, the Fed initiated an easing cycle despite the fact that inflation was not showing any signs of softening. May-00 Andrew Grantham (416) 956-3219 [email protected] No doubt that when Chair Yellen says that she will not repeat past mistakes, she does not refer to the above episodes but rather to the 2004 experience (right Chart). In retrospect, one could claim that Greenspan waited way too long before he started hiking in June 2004. Note that back then inflation was already on a clear accelerating path with core PCE rising from 1.3% in September 2003 to 2% in June 2004. That is, the Fed waited for core inflation to reach its target before moving. By then it was clearly too late. When you chase a lagging indicator you overshoot. Feb-00 Benjamin Tal (416) 956-3698 [email protected] Aug-99 Avery Shenfeld (416) 594-7356 [email protected] What triggered these courageous monetary acts was the understanding that inflation is essentially a lagging indicator. A robotic Fed would have kept rates unchanged until core inflation was clearly on the move. But past experience suggests that the Fed possesses the wisdom to deliver a rate change before the price adjustment process is completed. The IMF wants the Fed to wait until inflation is closer to its target. If things were so easy, then you might as well replace the FOMC with a computer program. Luckily, despite many monetary policy slips over the decades, the Fed deserves some credit for realizing that, as opposed to media headlines, its job description really entails focusing on medium-term inflation risks and not on the CPI du jour.

The Week Ahead—June 15-19, 2015 Week Ahead’s Market Call by Nick Exarhos and Andrew Grantham We’re going to start the week off on the wrong foot, but we’ll feel a bit better on the Canadian outlook by the end of it. Influenced by the poor trade data last week, we’re looking for a greater than 1% drop in manufacturing shipments on Monday. Wholesale trade should make some of that up with a modest gain to be reported mid-week. A strong retail sales report on Friday should leave us with a decent—if not overly impressive—GDP outlook for April. Inflation data due out at the end of the week should see headline hold steady at still-low levels, while we should see core slip a tick to 2.2%. In the US, the Fed will likely sound more confident that the first quarter slowdown was indeed “transitory”, although the updated “dot plot” projections for interest rates have a greater chance of moving markets if they differ materially from March. CPI figures could continue to look a little firmer, while housing and industrial production data should be supportive of forecasts for a strong rebound in Q2 growth. 3 CIBC World Markets Inc. The Week Ahead—June 15-19, 2015 Week Ahead’s Key Canadian Number: Consumer Price Index—May 5 (Friday, 8:30 a.m.) 4 Cdn Consumer Price Index y/y % chg BoC Target 3 Nick Exarhos (416) 956-6527 2 1 CPI m/m NSA CPI yr/yr Ex 8 volatile items m/m NSA Ex 8 volatile items yr/yr 0 CIBC MktPrior -1 May-12 0.5% 0.5% -0.1% 0.8%0.8%0.8% 0.4% 0.3% 0.1% 2.2% 2.1% 2.3% May-13 All Items May-14 May-15F Ex. 8 volatile & indirect taxes Source: Statistics Canada, CIBC Forecast Implications—The last of 2014’s strong monthly gains are set to drop out of the annual calculation in June, which should also coincide with lows we’re likely to see in headline inflation. Core will see a bit more softness beyond that, as the slack which is opening in the first half of 2015 is felt in the quarters ahead. Headline prices slid a bit more than the street was expecting in April, but May should see overall inflation hold steady, albeit at the relatively muted 0.8% level. That stability will be driven by a firming in gas prices, along with food inflation holding near its almost 4% yr/yr pace. On a month-on-month basis, the 0.5% NSA gain will translate into a 0.3% seasonally adjusted advance. Market Impact—We’re on consensus for headline’s year/ year rate but slightly above it for core. That shouldn’t be enough to move markets. Core prices were also tame in April, the adjusted monthly gain of 0.1% coming in under the recent trend. May should see core regain its 0.2% seasonally adjusted pace (0.4% NSA), though that will still mean that on an annual basis, the Bank of Canada’s preferred metric will moderate once again by a tick to 2.2%. Other Canadian Releases: Retail Trade—April (Friday, 8:30 a.m.) Manufacturing Shipments—April (Monday, 8:30 a.m.) There’s no denying that last week’s trade report didn’t provide much reason for optimism in April’s manufacturing outlook. The weakness was widespread, with essentially all categories registering declines on the month. Auto-related shipments were up modestly, and we’re hopeful that the production figures there will show even more strength. That should limit the decline in manufacturing to 1.2%, in what will still be a soft data point for April GDP. Offsetting that somewhat will be wholesaling results due on Wednesday, which should show a 0.5% gain. Autos will also lend a hand to the retailing results, where we expect a 1.1% gain in headline sales. After decelerating from stronger readings at the tail end of 2014, auto sales appear to be gaining momentum again. There’s also reason to believe that if consumers felt good enough to accelerate auto-related purchases, they likely had the confidence to continue spending on other items as well. As a result, look for the figure ex-autos to come in at 0.6%, leaving the April GDP outlook looking decent by the end of the week. 4 CIBC World Markets Inc. The Week Ahead—June 15-19, 2015 Week Ahead’s Key US Number: Consumer Price Index—May 1.0 (Thursday, 8:30 a.m.) US Consumer Price Index y/y % chg m/m % chg 3 0.5 Andrew Grantham (416) 956-3219 4 2 0.0 Headline CPI m/m Headline CPI yr/yr Core CPI m/m Core CPI yr/yr CIBC 0.6% 0.1% 0.2% 1.8% 1 Mkt Prior 0.5% 0.1% 0.0% -0.2% 0.2% 0.3% 1.8% 1.8% -0.5 -1.0 May-13 CPI (L) CPI y-o-y (R) CPI ex Food & Energy y-o-y (R) Jan-14 Sep-14 0 -1 May-15F Forecast Implications—Although core CPI is unlikely to have climbed higher in May, it won’t take much in terms of monthly gains for the annual rate to finish the year above 2%. Firmer CPI prints will ensure that the Fed is “reasonably confident” that inflation is on the path back to its target before September, which remains our prediction for the first rate hike. Reflation rather than deflation is the talk of the town at the moment. With oil and gasoline prices well off the lows earlier in the year, readings for headline CPI will start to look a lot firmer in the months ahead. Indeed, we could be looking at a 0.6% month-on-month gain in May (easily the strongest reading in more than two years), which would be enough to drag the annual rate out of negative territory. Market Impact—We are a little above consensus for headline inflation which could be mildly supportive for the US$ and negative for fixed income. However, market reaction is likely to be stronger if there’s any miss relative to consensus on the core CPI print. But it’s the trend in core CPI that will have the greatest implications for monetary policy. Stronger recent readings have edged the year-over-year rate up to 1.8%—a level it’s likely to hold at in May. Medical service costs, which were a source of strength last month, and shelter costs could be drivers of core inflation again this month. Other US Releases: Industrial Production & Capacity Utilization—May Housing Starts—May (Monday, 9:15 a.m.) (Tuesday, 8:30 a.m.) The ISM manufacturing index firmed a little in May, the decline in core capital goods orders appears to have levelled off and hours worked were up modestly. However, those aren’t enough for us to expect a particularly strong industrial production print. A 0.3% increase would only just offset the decline in the previous month, and would be reliant in part on a bounce-back in utilities. Starts surged in April, but so too did permit applications which makes us more confident that the strength in homebuilding wasn’t just a flash in the pan. While starts may have eased a little in May from those elevated levels, we’re a bit more confident than the consensus— expecting a 1,111K rate. Longer term, recent increases in household formation and better job prospects for younger American’s should support stronger homebuilding. 5 CIBC World Markets Inc.

US crude inventories are starting to be drawn down, and not in an insignificant fashion. But there’s been somewhat bearish news elsewhere. The US EIA revised its production estimates for the first quarter of 2015, and in the process lifted the profile for US production for this year by 240K bbl/day. And Saudi Arabia continued to produce more than 10.3 mn bbl/ day through April which has helped drive total OPEC production a million barrels per day above the official 30 mn bbl/day quota. Using the IEA’s data, the road to balance in the oil market appears a more distant prospect.

But could REITs still be an attractive investment even if we’re likely to see higher rates in the next year or two? History suggests that the current cushion could compensate investors for an increase in longer term rates. Yield premiums on real estate investments came in by roughly 2 percentage points from the start of the last tightening to the end of it. A similar move this time around would more than offset the expected increase in 10-year yields we’re forecasting in the coming cycle, meaning that overreaction could present value. 2004/06 Now Source: Bloomberg, CIBC *Total Market of REITs in CIBC’s coverage universe U.S. Consumers: Like They Never Left Back on track? More like never off of it when it comes to the US consumer after the winter lull. Investors— and economists—could be forgiven for doubting the underlying strength in consumer spending, and the broader economic recovery, after receiving underwhelming retail sales reports in recent releases. But this week’s data put those fears to bed, with revisions helping bring the underlying pace in consumer spending back in line with what prevailed before the Q1 slowdown. Stronger spending patterns powered by a still-healthy pace in payrolls should continue to benefit consumer-related stocks. In particular, we prefer names related to household purchases, where spending has been depressed since the recession, but should now also benefit from positive trends in household formation.

However, it isn’t the only commodity weighing on Canada’s external trade recently. Ex-energy export prices are also down by 10% since mid-2014, led by declines in metals and lumber prices. And while we’re relatively upbeat on the latter, metals prices could see a slower recovery. The impact of softer commodity prices on Canadian trade should keep the C$ closer to the 80-cent mark, suggesting the recent rally is unlikely to continue. Source: BoC, CIBC A JOLT Coming for the Greenback? Job Opening Rate Overtakes Hires For First Time There’s been plenty of good news for the US economy recently, including the strong payrolls and retail sales figures. One that’s gone relatively unnoticed by comparison is the job opening figures. Openings continued to surge in April, to such an extent that the rate rose above the hire rate for the first time in the series history. That could mean employers are getting pickier about who they employ, but could also point to skills shortages. The latter would suggest that further wage pressures may be in the pipeline, which would keep policymakers on track to start hiking interest rates in September. And it’s another reason to remain bullish on the US$ in the near-term. 5.0 Difference Job Opening Rate Hire Rate % 4.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.0 Feb-15 Apr-14 Jun-13 Aug-12 Oct-11 Feb-10 Dec-10 Apr-09 Jun-08 Oct-06 Aug-07 Feb-05 Dec-05 Jun-03 Apr-04 Oct-01 Aug-02 Dec-00 -1.0 Source: BLS, CIBC Yen Real Effective Exchange Rate Already at Very Low Levels Getting Real on the Yen 200 One currency which the US$ may struggle to strengthen against is the yen. While further stimulus from the BoJ could well be on the cards, policymakers in Japan appear much less concerned about weakening the currency further to generate export performance. In fact, Governor Kuroda noted that a further weakening of the yen was “unlikely”, pointing out that the real effective exchange rate was already at extremely low levels. Indeed, by that measure the currency is at levels not seen since the early 1980’s. So while there could be a little more downside against a resurgent US$, the yen may not underperform on other crosses as previously expected. 160 Yen Effective Exchange Rate Index Jan'90 = 100 120 80 Nominal Real 40 7 Nov-13 Jun-11 Jan-09 Aug-06 Mar-04 Oct-01 May-99 Dec-96 Jul-94 Feb-92 Sep-89 Apr-87 Nov-84 Jun-82 Jan-80 0 Source: BIS, BoJ, CIBC CIBC World Markets Inc.
