Banorte-Ixe FI/FX Strategy Mexico tual Fixed-Income and FX Weekly October 13, 2014 Market outlook www.banorte.com www.ixe.com.mx Brief and moderate gains after the Fed minutes. The local fixed income market observed a flattening of the Mbonos curve, with a 6bps upwards adjustment on short-term rates while longer maturities contracted 9bps. The peso registered a slight appreciation of 0.2% to 13.46 per dollar Light agenda still focused on regional divergences. This theme should continue as the main market driver given its potential implications for economic policy and asset prices, which will be coupled with the assessment of how long current trends can be sustained as doubts about valuations increase given the most recent adjustment and warnings by the Fed about possible second round effects. In our view, Mexican assets valuations have improved considerably and suggest that a great part of the shift in expectations has already been discounted, limiting the potential of further pressures in the absence of major surprises. Nevertheless, we remain cautious on the back of persistently strong US data. This week the agenda is light and will remain focused on this theme. Data in the US includes retail sales and industrial production, the Empire and Philly Fed surveys and U. of Michigan confidence. Housing starts and building permits will be evaluated in light of the delayed and moderate growth in the sector. Fed commentary includes Yellen on inequality on Friday, Evans, Plosser, Lockhart, Kocherlakota, and Bullard. In the Eurozone, watch for the ZEW index, industrial production, trade balance but mostly for September inflation. Mexican data is scarce, only highlighting the unemployment rate Gabriel Casillas Chief Economist and Head of Research gabriel.casillas@banorte.com Alejandro Padilla Head Strategist – Fixed-Income and FX alejandro.padilla@banorte.com Juan Carlos Alderete, CFA FX Strategist juan.alderete.macal@banorte.com Santiago Leal Singer Fixed-Income and FX Analyst santiago.leal@banorte.com Fixed-Income Market dynamics.…………………….pg. 2 Supply………………………………….pg. 3 Demand………………………………..pg. 4 Technicals……………………………..pg. 6 Recommendations…………………...pg. 8 Foreign exchange Market dynamics……………………..pg. 9 Market positioning and flows……....pg. 10 Technicals…………………………...pg. 11 Recommendations………………….pg. 13 Fixed-Income Recommendations Supply – This Tuesday, the MoF will auction 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month Cetes, the 20-year Mbono (Nov’34), the 30-year Udibono (Nov’46) and 5-year Bondes D Fixed-Income Demand – Foreigners’ holdings in Mbonos totaled MXN 1.281 trillion (US$ 95 billion), a market share equal to 55% as of September 30.

The local yield curve flattened last week, with a 6bps upwards adjustment on short-term rates, while other tenors rallied 9bps. In our view, the slope could reduce an additional 1015bps, although we warn that investors will maintain on an extreme cautious tone ahead of a higher global risk aversion environment and possible mount in volatility Mbonos performance Maturity date IRS (28-day TIIE) performance Yield to maturity Oct/10/14 3.03 3.12 3.22 3.41 3.78 4.10 4.41 4.69 4.79 5.19 5.52 5.71 5.88 5.91 6.20 6.38 6.54 6.62 6.69 6.77 6.80 Dec'14 Jun'15 Dec'15 Jun'16 Dec'16 Jun'17 Dec'17 Jun’18 Dec'18 Jun'20 Jun'21 Jun'22 Dec'23 Dec'24 Jun'27 May'29 May'31 Nov’34* Nov'36 Nov'38 Nov'42 Weekly change (bps) 6 6 0 -8 -12 -7 -8 -11 -10 -10 -8 -12 -13 -13 -12 -8 -4 -5 -8 -7 -7 YTD (bps) Maturity date Yield to maturity Oct/10/14 Weekly change (bps) YTD (bps) -66 -58 -57 -66 -68 -68 -61 -66 -65 -59 -53 -62 -56 -51 -53 -65 -72 -46 -73 -43 -44 3-month (3x1) 6-month (6x1) 9-month (9x1) 1-year (13x1) 2-year (26x1) 3-year (39x1) 4-year (52x1) 5-year (65x1) 7-year (91x1) 10-year (130x1) 20-year (260x1) 3.29 3.32 3.37 3.47 3.96 4.47 4.85 5.20 5.74 6.20 6.91 -1 -2 -3 -4 -7 -10 -13 -14 -15 -15 -13 -50 -50 -48 -47 -31 -23 -27 -35 -49 -62 -100 Source: Bloomberg Source: Valmer *Issued this year in a syndicated fashion Mbonos curve at different closing dates Long-term reference Mbono Dec’24 % % 8.0 8.3 11-Oct-13 7.5 7.8 7.0 7.3 6.5 6.8 6.0 10-Oct-14 5.5 6.3 3-Oct-2014 5.0 5.8 4.5 5.3 4.0 4.8 3.5 1Y 5Y Source: Bloomberg 10Y 20Y 30 26 28 22 24 18 Years 20 14 16 10 12 6 8 2 4 0 3.0 4.3 Jan-11 Jul-11 30Y Source: Valmer Feb-12 Aug-12 Mar-13 Sep-13 Apr-14 Fixed-Income supply Banxico’s weekly auction.

September’s inflation figure came in slightly below market expectations. As a result, the 3-year breakeven decreased from 3.63% to 3.52%, nevertheless the 5year tenor stayed practically unchanged, moving from 3.10% to 3.09% Low levels along the long-term breakevens could be used to hedge inflationary risk positions. Reduction on the inflationary premium suggests the possibility for institutional investors to hedge inflation dynamics for coming years. In this sense, the 10-year figure closed at 3.32% from 3.39%, while the 30-year measure moved to 3.26% from 3.30% 3- and 5-year breakeven inflation using Mbonos & Udibonos Implicit market inflation using Fisher Equation 10- and 30-year breakeven inflation using Mbonos & Udibonos Implicit market inflation using Fisher Equation 5.5 4.7 5.0 4.3 4.5 5-year 10-year 4.0 3.9 Upper limit of Banxico's inflation target range 3.5 3.5 Upper limit of Banxico's inflation target range 3.0 2.5 Nov-09 3-year Aug-10 Apr-11 Dec-11 Source: Banorte-Ixe with data from Valmer Aug-12 Apr-13 Dec-13 Aug-14 3.1 Nov-09 30-year Aug-10 Apr-11 Dec-11 Source: Banorte-Ixe with data from Valmer Aug-12 Apr-13 Dec-13 Aug-14 Fixed-Income trade recommendations Fed’s minutes contribute to a relief rally following the strong adjustment in September. The Fed’s minutes portrayed a dovish bias on Wednesday vis-à-vis the interpretation given by investors to the September 17th monetary policy communiqué and economic projections. The immediate reaction following the minutes was positive for the markets. The FOMC has recognized that the US economy is on an important recovery path; however, it also warned about the risks that could become a counterweight to this growth: the dollar strength (with an effect steering lower inflation) and global economic weakness. This situation could be accounted as a call for investors to prepare for eventual monetary policy normalization in the next year, but normalization likely to be gradual. Despite the strong uncertainty regarding the Fed’s future actions, the markets still prices in a gradual rate hike cycle begging next year. There is an important difference between the hiking cycle path embedded in U.S. rates vs. expectations from Fed’s officials depicted in the dot plot chart. Indeed, market discounts a more gradual scenario. The differences between this two views account for 60bps by 2015-end, 85bps by 2016 and 120bps by 2017. Considering this situation a further relief rally during October is expected, albeit limited. The belly of the yield curve could be the pivot, while the shorter end could remain relatively stable after September’s strong adjustment and the incorporated implicit rate increases, whereas the longer end could continue flattening additional 10-15bps.

The net position was broadly unchanged after going from –US$ 272 to 281 million on the week New historical high for USD longs. Global USD positions increased by US$ 3.8 billion and ended at +US$ 41.3 billion a new high since June 2012, when S&P cut the US rating to AA+. The currencies most sold were AUD (-US$ 1.8 billion) and EUR (-US$ 1.4 billion), with the latter once again very near its YTD minimum reached at the beginning of September Divergence between EM bond and equity flows. Mutual fund selling in EM stood at US$ 376 million on the week ended October 8, its third consecutive week falling from –US$ 404 million. It is worth highlighting that this was a result of US$ 1.4 billion in equity outflows, the highest since mid-March and reverting previous gains, especially in Asia. In contrast, US$ 718 million of bonds were bought, with Latam stronger than other regions.

USD/MXN reached an intraday minimum of 13.27 per dollar after the Fed minutes, reverting back above it on the last two trading days to 13.46 per dollar Correlations broadly unchanged and slightly up. The renewed concern over growth divergences and its risks for the global economy (particularly for the US, as seen in the minutes) retained its force as an important market catalyst. Dollar strength has impacted EM and DM broadly equally, which has increased the correlation between assets and currencies. As markets remain focused on these issues we expect correlations to stay elevated, more so considering that the peso could have lost its defensive bias as expectations have greatly diminished about a potential credit rating upgrade to Mexico in the short term Vols higher along most tenors. The vol curve crept higher by 32bps on average, with longer tenors adjusting to a greater degree and still showing a significant risk premium to shorter maturities. The one month measure was up by 24bps to 8.2%, while the three month increased by 23bps to 8.7% It is worth noting that longer maturities stayed higher, which we believe is a result of increased uncertainty about the Fed (and the peso) at the turn of the year.

We expect a 13.30-13.55 weekly range. We still believe that some investors could be enticed by value considerations to add tactical shorts around 13.50 per dollar, which could continue as a relevant technical resistance before the 13.61 high of the year. In this sense, our short term model’s signals that the USD/MXN has overshoot, so we maintain our recommendation to avoid adding to these positions but to wait in a bid to limit recent losses (we have suggested this bias from 13.20 per dollar), albeit modestly. Moreover, market technicals have improved further as signaled by the fall in MXN longs in futures, higher risk reversals, volatilities and forward points. Nevertheless, nervousness among investors remain high, as suggested by the swift reversion of gains after the Fed minutes, with fundamentals still pointing to the possibility of even higher volatility in the short term. Locally, Fitch’s recent comments that eliminated the possibility of a short term upgrade of Mexico’s rating amid high geopolitical tensions (Hong Kong, Ukraine, Syria), which could weigh on the peso. As a result of these factors, markets have become even more nervous about a sooner than expected hike by the Fed even if not fully reflected in the level of US Treasury rates due to safe-have bids EM trade-weighted REER USD/MXN valuation according to short term financial model* % deviation from 10Y MA % undervalued MYR THB IDR PEN BRL KRW HKD HRK RUB MXN PLN COP HUF INR CLP ARS ZAR 6 overvalued 13.6 4 9.3 9.2 5.3 5.1 3.5 3.3 3.1 3.0 2 MXN undervalued -2 0.5 -2.9 -4.5 -5.8 -6.8 -7.4 -4 -6 -11.5 -17.3 -30 -20 MXN overvalued 0 -10 0 10 20 -8 Dec-10 30 May-11 Oct-11 Mar-12 Aug-12 Jan-13 Jun-13 Nov-13 Apr-14 Sep-14 Source: Banorte-Ixe * 2Y rolling regression against S&P500, 1Y swap spread between Mexico and the US, 1M implied Vol, 3Y breakeven inflation, 10-year UST and 10Y TIIE-IRS and Mbono spread Source: Banorte-Ixe USD/MXN three-month and one-year forward points Economic surprise indexes by region Pips 1,200 3M (LHS) Pts 5,000 1Y (RHS) 1,150 1,100 4,500 80 4,000 30 US Eurozone Asia Pacific 1,050 1,000 950 900 3,500 -20 850 800 750 700 Jan-13 3,000 Banxico's 50bps cut 25bps cut Jul-13 Source: Bloomberg, Banorte-Ixe 25bps cut Jan-14 50bps cut -70 2,500 Jul-14 -120 Oct-12 Jan-13 Apr-13 Jul-13 Source: Citi, Bloomberg, Banorte-Ixe Oct-13 Jan-14 Apr-14 Jul-14 Weekly economic calendar For the week ending October 17, 2014 Fri17 Thu16 Wed 15 Tue 14 Mon 13 Sun 12 Time (EST) Event 01:00 CH 01:00 CH 01:00 CH Trade balance Period Unit Banorte-Ixe Survey Previous Sep (P) USDbn -- 41.1 49.8 Exports Sep (P) %y/y -- 12.0 9.4 Imports Sep (P) %y/y -- -2.0 -2.4 Sep %y/y 1.4 1.4 1.5 6.9 US Bond Markets closed for Columbus Day 08:30 EZ Euro-area finance ministers meet in Luxembourg 11:30 US Fed's Evans speaks in Indianapolis 02:00 EZ Finance Ministers meet in Luxembourg 04:30 UK Consumer prices 05:00 GER ZEW Survey (economic sentiment) Oct index 1.5 0.0 05:00 EZ Industrial Production Aug %m/m -1.8 -1.6 1.0 10:00 MEX International reserves Oct 10 US$bn -- -- 190.5 12:30 MEX Government bond auction -1M, 3M and 6M Cetes, 20-year Mbono, 30-year Udibonos and Bondes D 21:00 SK Monetary policy decision (Central bank of South Korea) -- 2.00 2.25 21:30 CH 02:00 GER 04:30 UK Unemployment rate 08:00 BZ Retail sales* 08:00 BZ 08:30 US 08:30 US Retail sale ex autos 08:30 US 08:30 US 08:30 US 10:00 US Business Inventories 14:00 US Beige Book 05:00 EZ Consumer prices 05:00 EZ 05:00 EZ 07:30 BZ 07:30 Oct 15 % Consumer prices Sep %y/y -- 1.7 2.0 Consumer prices Sep (F) %y/y 0.8 0.8 0.8 Aug % 6.1 6.1 6.2 Aug %m/m -- 0.7 -1.1 Retail sales Aug %y/y -- -1.4 -0.9 Advance retail sales Sep %m/m -0.2 -0.1 0.6 Sep %m/m 0.3 0.2 0.3 Empire Manufacturing Oct index 21.5 20.9 27.5 Producer prices Sep %m/m -- 0.1 0.0 Sep %m/m - 0.1 0.1 Aug %m/m -- 0.4 0.4 Sep (F) %y/y 0.3 0.3 0.3 Sep (F) %y/y 0.7 0.7 0.7 Govt Debt/GDP Ratio Jul 5 %GDP -- -- 92.6 Economic activity* Aug %m/m -- 0.2 -1.5 BZ Economic activity Aug %y/y -- -1.0 -0.2 08:00 US Fed's Plosser speaks in Pennsylvania 08:30 US Initial Jobless Claims Oct 11 thousands -- 290 287 09:00 US Fed's Lockhart speaks in Rutgers 09:15 US Industrial production Sep %m/m 0.3 0.4 -0.1 09:15 US Manufacturing Sep %m/m 0.2 0.3 -0.4 10:00 US Philadelphia Fed Oct index 20.8 20.0 22.5 10:00 US Fed's Kocherlakota speaks in Montana 17:00 CL Monetary policy decision (BCCh) Oct 16 % -- 3.00 3.25 08:30 US Housing starts Sep thousands -- 1,005 956 08:30 US Building permits Sep thousands -- 1,030 1,003 08:30 US Fed's Yellen speaks in Boston 09:00 MEX 09:55 US Ex. food & energy prod Core Unemployment rate U. of Michigan Confidence Sep % 5.2 5.2 5.2 Oct (P) index 84.3 84.1 84.6 Source: Bloomberg and Banorte-Ixe.
