Lakson Outlook - August 2016

Economic & Markets Review - Pakistan Economy In August 2016 CPI clocked in at 3.6% YoY vs. 4.1% YoY in July 2016. The decline was because of the Ramadan and Eid effect. On a month-on-month basis, CPI was down 0.3% in Aug 2016 as compared to an increase of 1.3% in the previous month. The rebound in inflation is expected to be contained in the coming months, with the government not allowing local petroleum prices to rise. Among other macro indicators, Large Scale Manufacturing (LSM) segment was flat during Jun 2016 on a Year-on-Year basis, taking full year FY16 growth to 3.2% YoY. Major contributing sectors include Cements and Automobiles. Private sector credit off-take grew by 11% YoY during July'16, with impetus from Construction (+47%YoY), Telecom & Communication (+26%YoY), and Chemicals (+21%YoY) sectors. On the external front, Jul 2016 current account deficit stood at $591mn, underpinned by 7%YoY decline in exports, 6%YoY rise in imports, and 20%YoY drop in remittances. As per recent statements by the SBP Governor, poor remittance numbers are attributable to seasonality (Ramadan effect) and low number of working days in July. In this regard, combined remittances over June and July stand at $3.4 bn are down a more contained 2% YoY over the same period last year. As a result, the rupee maintained its stability versus the US dollar.

of its domestic borrowing. The three T-Bill auctions during August 2016 fetched a combined PKR 905 billion, led by acceptances in 6M T-Bills (PKR 465 billion), and followed by in 3M T-Bills (PKR 250 billion) and 12M (PKR 190 billion). Cut-off yields remained flat following the rise observed in the first auction during the month at 5.85%, 5.90% and 5.91% for 3M, 6M and 12M T-Bills. Equities After recording an 18% rise from January to July, the KSE 30 declined 0.34% in August as foreigners turned net sellers. Key factors that dragged the index include selling in Construction & Materials as investors feared the start of a price war after most companies announced expansion plans. Chemicals also witnessed massive selling after disappointing results and as the government announced a 27% cut in the bag price of urea to combat the oversupply due to higher imports and lower sales. Going forward, with experts projecting fresh foreign investment between USD 300 million to USD 800 million over the next year, the KSE 30 is expected to continue rising. The automobile sector (+14.9%) was the best performing sector as the bookings of new models and announcements of expansion by automobile parts manufacturers created expectation of a rise in earnings. Utilities (+9.2%) continued rising on an anticipated gas price increase in H1FY17. Personal goods (+3.8%) was the next best performing sector as investors looked to benefit from attractive dividend yields and a possible depreciation of Pakistani rupee. Chemicals (-4.01%) declined after below expected results and a supply glut due to higher imports and lower sales in the recent quarters. The Construction & Materials sector (-10.9%) was the worst performing sector as the recent announcements of expansion triggered fears of a price war in the sector. Average volumes rose 8% to reach 81.8 million shares per day as investors' interest was high in small caps; however, average daily traded value declined 17% to reach $55 million per day. Foreigners (-$20.4 mn) were net sellers during the month offloading positions in Chemicals (-$32.3 mn and Construction & Materials (- US$10.9mn). Mutual funds (+$13.5 mn) and NBFCs (+$13.5 mn) were net buyers. The KSE 30's trailing 12 months (TTM) PE ratio has decreased to 10.3x whereas the TTM PE ratios of regional peers have increased. The KSE 30 index continues to trade at a substantial discount to regional markets such as China's Shanghai Composite Index which is trading at 17.9x and India's Sensex Index which is trading at 21.0x.

Net foreign investment flows (FDI + FPI) during July 2016 clocked in at $114 mn - up 125%YoY. Major contributing sectors in FDI included Telecommunication, Financial services, and Oil & Gas. Fixed Income Review The Government of Pakistan (GoP) raised PKR 215 billion in the PIBs auction during August 2016, driven by participation in 3yr PIBs (PKR 173.6 billion), followed by 5yr PIBs (PKR 73.8 billion) and 10 year PIBs (PKR 71.7 billion). Cut-off yields remained flat compared to previous auction at 6.2%, 6.7% and 7.8% for 3 year, 5 year and 10 year PIBs respectively. The last two PIB auctions have occurred in the aftermath of a hefty maturity of PIBs, but yields have not picked up in contrast to 2014 when the GoP was looking to extend the maturity profile

Lakson Outlook - August 2016

Economic & Markets Review - International Developed Markets Review The performance of developed markets index remained muted in Aug'16 where the MSCI World return stood at -0.1%MoM. The developing markets under-performed the emerging markets by 240 bps despite signals of monetary tightening provided by US Federal Reserve. The major indices Dow Jones and S&P index both remained flattish at -0.2% MoM and 0.1% MoM respectively in Aug'16. Investors across the US are closely watching the upcoming Presidential elections and the direction of US interest rates. The FTSE100 managed to gain 1% in August 2016 compared to return of +3% MoM in the preceding month. Emerging Markets Review The MSCI EM index continued its upward trajectory in August 2016, posting a gain of 2% MoM compared to 5% MoM in the previous month. Cumulatively, 8MCY16 return of the emerging markets index now stands at 13% compared to -14% in the same period last year. To recall, the market was hammered by 9% MoM in Aug'15 owing to concerns over global macros and steep depreciation in Chinese Yuan against USD. China's Shanghai Composite was up 4% MoM in August 2016 compared to 2% MoM in August 2015. Other heavyweights (India, Korea, Thailand) remained almost silent with positive returns in the range of 1%-2% during the period under review. The Russian market also remained flattish with MoM return of 1% only. Hawkish comments by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen capped the overall upside in EM markets and also remains a key downside risk to the ongoing bull run in emerging markets. Commodities During the period under review oil prices, Nymex and Brent recovered by 6% MoM and 13% MoM to $45/bbl and $46/bbl respectively. Oil prices climbed to a two-month high of $50/bbl. This steep uptrend in oil prices was fuelled by speculation surrounding the upcoming informal meetings between OPEC members in Sep 2016. However, uptick in rig counts of US producers and an expectation of rise in U.S. interest rates capped the upside in oil prices. During the month under review, all major economies (particularly U.S., China and Japan) exhibited slowdown in their macro indicators. This may hamper a sustainable bull run in oil prices in future. Coal prices increased by 6% MoM in August 2016 to $67/ton primarily due to supply disruptions worldwide and declining production in China.
