QE. At this stage of the global economic
recovery, what is it good for? Cynics would
answer “absolutely nothing”. And judging
by the impact of recent stimulus in the EZ
and Japan on global growth so far, they may
have a point.
First quarter GDP figures are in the books
for most major economies now (with
Canada to come next week). And it is
becoming more evident that the Eurozone
and Japanese economies are benefitting
from the huge stimulus measures introduced
there. Eurozone growth has been steadily
accelerating, reaching a respectable 0.4%
pace (not annualized) in Q1. Meanwhile
Japanese GDP growth earlier this week
handily beat expectations, posting a 2.4%
annualized pace.
But that growth is being aided by massive
currency depreciations, and as such appears
to have come at the expense of others. GDP
growth figures in the US and the UK—two
areas that have seen appreciations in their
trade-weighted currencies—have recently
disappointed. Even though the US’ small
proportion of exports relative to GDP and
likely weather distortions in Q1 make us
more optimistic than most for the quarter
ahead, averaging out the first half of the year
would show a deceleration (Chart 1).

Avg GDP Growth (% SAAR)
And the diminishing returns of QE can be
seen more globally as well. Initial rounds of
asset-buying, during and just after the Great
Recession, appeared to aid acceleration
in industrial production growth in both
advanced and emerging markets. But more
recent stimulus has failed to lift all boats.
While global production accelerated in the
quarters after the Fed’s QE3 announcement,
the lift was very modest and it did little for
growth in emerging markets. Since mid2014 (when the BoJ ramped up stimulus and
the ECB started hinting at QE to come), the
results have been even less decisive (Chart 2).
The stimulus measures undertaken in the
EZ and Japan haven’t done ”absolutely
nothing”. It’s just so far we are seeing a
redistribution of growth globally rather
than an acceleration. The persistence of
generally low inflation rates and pockets
of unemployment (most notably in the EZ)
suggest there is a little more room for global
growth to accelerate. But that may be a
story for 2016, as the stimulus in Europe
and Japan trickles through to boost domestic
demand, and trade with those regions’
key importers. That would support a more
sustainable pick-up in cyclical stocks and
commodities.

The Week Ahead—May 25-29, 2015
Week Ahead’s Market Call
by Nick Exarhos and Andrew Grantham
The Bank of Canada has a rate decision on Wednesday, and it’s likely to stand pat at 0.75%.
We aren’t looking for Governor Poloz to provide any more easing this year, and the statement
should reflect some of his more upbeat views on the economic outlook in the back half of
the year. On Thursday we’ll get current account data for Q1, and crude’s slide should drive a
widening in the deficit to $17.8 bn—roughly four billion wider than the last quarter. Friday
should bring some (relatively) better news on the GDP front. Solid gains in manufacturing
and wholesaling, along with economic activity unleashed by the more seasonal weather point
to a 0.3% gain in March GDP, and a resulting 0.5% growth pace for the first quarter. That
would be slightly higher than both the street’s expectations, and the flat outcome forecast
by the BoC.
In the US, a holiday-shortened week will culminate with the first revision of Q1 GDP, which
is widely expected to be downgraded well into negative territory. But barring a major surprise
there, markets will likely focus more on where the economy is headed going forward. A jump
in new home sales and stabilization in the trend of core durable goods orders (both released
earlier in the week on Tuesday) would provide some assurance on that front.

The first quarter will indeed come in softer than many
would have initially expected. But, the culprit will
have been as much the poor weather and a stumbling
neighbour to the south as it was the “front-loaded”
aspects of the oil shock. So though investment should
emerge as a more significant concern in the quarters
ahead, the main disappointment in Q1 will have been
tied to anemic export performance, and more restrained
consumer spending. The economy will have still grown
by an annualized 0.5% in Q1, slightly more than the flat
outcome forecast by the Bank of Canada.
latest month, and retailers saw better results. March’s
0.3% gain should also mean that the handoff to the
second quarter will allow us to see better readings in that
quarter than we would have expected otherwise.
Forecast Implications—Though Q1 will show little
growth, the full impact from oil will take longer to
materialize. Capital spending plans have been slashed in
the oil patch, and we’re already seeing output from oil
field services take a dive. Add in more severe government
restraint with new provincial budgets that came into
effect in April, and the middle of the year may not be
much better for the Canadian economy.
Part of the slight beat relative to “atrocious” expectations
will have been due to a strong monthly performance
in March. After unseasonably cold weather restrained
two-way trade, as well as hampered activity from the
Canadian consumer, the factory sector surged in the
Market Impact—We’re slightly above consensus which
could be supportive for the C$ while weighing on fixed
income.
Other Canadian Releases:
Current Account—Q1
(Thursday, 8:30 a.m.)
Oil’s slide is going to take the current account with it in
Q1. The $5 bn deterioration in the goods trade balance
is primarily driven by Canada selling its barrels of oil at
reduced prices, and will be the catalyst in seeing the
current account come in at a deficit of $17.8 bn. That
result could have been worse, but the fall in the Canadian
dollar should help narrow the services deficit, while also
giving a slight lift to the income account.

The combination of a stronger US$ and plunge in oil
price dealt a serious blow to durable goods orders during
the latter part of 2014 and into the start of this year,
with machinery orders plunging by more than $3bn.
The slight weakening of the currency recently and some
stabilisation in rig count data suggests that the worst may
now be behind us. But neither suggest a strong rebound
yet. We expect that durable goods orders ex-transport
will edge up by 0.3%, matching March’s tally.

Forecast Implications—A stabilization in ex-transport
durable goods orders implies that business investment
won’t be the drag on growth in Q2 that it was in
Q1. However, it also doesn’t suggest that business
investment will be a driver of growth during the current
quarter either. A Q2 rebound remains reliant on stronger
consumer spending, signs for which have remained
underwhelming recently.
Market Impact—We are below the consensus for the
headline, but market reaction will likely be determined
by any miss in the ex-transport and core capital goods
orders readings.
As normal, the headline reading will be influenced by
a swing in transportation (specifically aircraft) orders.
Those appear to have lost altitude in April, setting total
durable goods orders up for a 1.8% decline.

Riding Market Waves on the TSX
Concentrated Risk-Adjusted Value on TSX
It’s been a choppy year for the TSX. Enough ink’s been
spilled on oil, and a squishy global growth picture has
weighed on other resource-based stocks. But many
other non-commodity sectors have also put in less than
impressive performances. Given the risks that Canadian
oriented investors have borne this year, there’s been just
a handful of sectors that have registered decent Sharpe
ratios. The health care sector is at the top of the class,
while infotech and consumer-focused stocks have also
been standouts. With the outlook for resources still
anemic for at least the medium term, investors may be
better served in taking measured risks, and focusing on
the sectors likely to provide the greatest risk-adjusted
returns.

Dimmer US Outlook Denting TSX Rails (L),
Bringing Valuations Closer to Longer-Term Average (R)
De-railed by a Softer H1 US Outlook
Better days should be ahead, but we’ll admit that the US’s
performance in the first quarter—and likely through the
first half as a whole—has underwhelmed us. That softer
backdrop has been reflected in consensus estimates of
US growth and the tamer profile for two-way trade has
weighed on rail volumes in the first quarter. The railroad
operators have recently seen their valuations tumble
toward their longer-term averages. However, with the
potential that the American economy surprises to the
upside in the second half, and with freight volumes
already pointing to a Q2 recovery, current woes may
present an attractive entry point into stocks that had been
solid performers earlier on.

A more active American consumer is a key reason we
expect stronger results from the US economy. Yes,
retail sales have provided serial disappointments, with
consumers deciding to pocket the windfall provided by
cheaper gas prices. But ever-longer payrolls mean that
aggregate salary income is still up around 4% from yearago levels, even if average hourly wage growth isn’t
picking up meaningfully just yet. A long left tail to the
distribution of returns for consumer discretionary stocks
suggests that there are still a few stragglers in the sector.
Those stocks could be important beneficiaries from an
acceleration in consumer spending which clocked only
a middling 1.5% advance in the first quarter. If those
laggards were to play catch up, the overall sector could
see stronger advances ahead.

Oil Drilling Into Rate Cut Expectations
BoC Has Less of a Reason to Cut With Oil’s Rebound
From a peak of over $100 per barrel last year to a
trough of just above $40 earlier this year, Canada’s
most important export has been on a wild ride. More
recently, however, oil prices have started to recover,
particularly Western Canada Select. We still believe the
total impact of the oil price crash will take longer to work
its way through the economy than the BoC currently
expects—putting pressure on CAD in the next couple
of quarters. However, with oil prices now higher than
those baked into the Bank’s most recent forecast, we
think the likelihood of another cut is even more remote.
We’ve recently limited our forecasted depreciation for the
loonie and now anticipate that USDCAD will hit 1.27 in
Q3 (previously 1.29).

Transitory Nature of Slowdown Widely Discussed, But the
Weather Was Not
Transitory…Hopefully
The minutes of April’s FOMC meeting highlighted a lot
of debate over just how “transitory” the slowdown in US
growth was in the first quarter of the year. “A number”
weren’t convinced. Part of the problem is that, unlike last
year, there isn’t one single factor to lay the blame on. In
2014, poor weather was widely blamed for the slowdown
in Q1, and the economy did indeed rebound thereafter.
This time there’s a combination of factors—weather
again, port strike, etc. The widely expected downgrade
of Q1 growth shouldn’t impact markets too much, but
further evidence that the slowdown was in fact temporary
(possibly starting with stronger new home sales next
Tuesday) should be US$ supportive.

Shopping Across the Pond
US Retail Sales Volumes Lag The UK (L),
Despite Greater Lift to Spending Power From Gasoline (R)
Strong retail sales figures from the UK gave a little bit of a
lift to Sterling just as its post-election rally was starting to
wane. That’s a stark contrast to recent disappointments in
US retail sales. Logically it should really be the other way
around. Due to the high tax wedge, petrol (or gasoline!)
prices haven’t come down anywhere near as much as
they have in the US. And in terms of volumes, US retail
sales aren’t as far above their pre-recession level as they
are in the UK, suggesting more pent-up demand. We
remain confident that US consumer spending will pick
up in the months ahead, driving stronger GDP growth in
the US and allowing the Fed to hike well before the BoE.
That would see cable move back down close to 1.50 over
the coming 3-6 months.
