Economic & Markets Review PAKISTAN

Economy CPI during October 2016 clocked in at 4.2% YoY, higher than the figure of 3.9% in September 2016 and above-consensus expectation. On a month-on-month basis, CPI was up 0.8% in October as compared to an increase of 0.2% during the previous month. Food inflation picked up by 4.4% YoY in October 2016 compared to an increase of 4.0% YoY last month. Going forward, inflationary expectations are on the rise, with further impetus likely from a recovery in international commodity prices. Other macro indicators also improved in October 2016, where Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) increased by 1.5% YoY in September 2016. Private sector credit off-take continues to accelerate (up 11.1% YoY in September 2016 vs. 6.2% in September 2015) with impetus from Construction (+46% YoY), Chemicals (+15% YoY) and Telecommunication (+20% YoY).

Net FDI flows during Q1FY17 clocked in at USD 249.3 mn, down 38% YoY. Current account balance posted a USD 161 mn deficit in September 2016 (0.6% of GDP) against USD 612 mn deficit in August 2016, led primarily by slowdown in remittances, lackluster exports and rise in imports.

Fixed Income Review The government of Pakistan raised PKR 157 bn through the T-Bill auctions in October 2016, led by participation in 3M t-Bills and followed by those of 6M t-bills. Cut-off yields remained flat, on average, during the month in case of 6M and 12M t-Bills at 5.90% and 5.91%, respectively. Meanwhile, in the case of 3M t-Bills, cut-off yield rose by 4 bps to 5.90% during the last auction of the month. In the PIB auction held on October 19th, GoP rejected all bids worth PKR 75 bn. Major participation came in the 3 yr tenor paper (PKR 63 bn), followed by 5 yr tenor paper (PKR 10 bn).

Economic & Markets Review INTERNATIONAL

Developed Markets US markets remained uncertain over concerns about the upcoming US elections, anticipations of Fed rate hike and corporate results. Weaker US corporate earnings for Q3 kept equities lower for most part of the month, with S&P/DJIA index down 1.9%/0.9%MoM. In the UK, Theresa May's comments on 'Brexit' strategy triggered sharp depreciation in the Sterling (GBP/US$ down 5.6%MoM). However, a weaker GBP proved positive for equities with the FTSE100 climbing 0.8% MoM. ECB kept its monetary policy unchanged though markets are still anticipating further easing pushing equities higher (Euro Stoxx 50 Index up 1.76% MoM), despite disappointing earnings. The German DAX Index rallied 1.47% MoM.

Emerging Markets Emerging markets remained a mixed bag with the MSCI EM index managing gains of 0.18% MoM. China led the board, with the Shanghai Composite gaining 3.2% MoM on stronger than expected inflation data as well as GDP coming in line with expectations at 6.7% to ease concerns about the health of the economy. Thailand (+0.84% MoM), Indonesia (+1.08% MoM) and Malaysia (+1.2% MoM) also followed suit, while Philippines and Vietnam lost 2.9% MoM and 1.4% MoM respectively. This was driven by volatile trend in commodities where the TRJ-CRB Index remained flat (-0.02%MoM) on a stronger dollar (DXY +3.1%MoM) driven by weakness in major currencies as well built up in expectation for another hike before year end. While oil prices continued their rally earlier in the month on OPEC's decision to consider an output freeze, data released later depicting supply to be already at their highest pulled oil prices down again where Brent/WTI index closed the month 2.1%/2.8% lower.

October turned out to be a propitious month for international oil market as global crude oil prices reached the highest level seen during this calendar year. Brighter prospects of a deal between OPEC members boded well for sentiment while a drop in US crude oil inventory levels also aided prices during the month. Average Nymex and Brent prices rose by 11% and 9% respectively during the month while cresting at USD 51.6/bbl and USD 53/bbl, respectively. Arab Light prices also briefly closed above USD50/bbl for the first time in CY16. Coal remained another winner in October as coal prices further surged by another USD 25/MT to close above USD 90/MT at month close (last seen in early Jan 2013). Richard Bay coal averaged USD 80.7/MT depicting MoM jump of 21%. In addition to restraints put by China on coal miners, rising coal demand from France (as demand for fossil fuel-fed power is expected to increase after 58 French nuclear plants went for extended safety checks in October). Gold prices declined sharply early during the month falling below USD 1300/ounce as Hedge funds and large investors abandoned gold at significantly faster pace owing to increasing speculation that the Federal Reserve will increase US interest rates before the end of the year (market bets now put the odds of a December hike at around 74%).
