Economic & Markets Review PAKISTAN

Economy September 2016 ended with SBP keeping its policy rate unchanged at 5.75% - in line with broader consensus; backed by rise in inflationary expectation (4.5%-5.5%YoY in FY17). CPI inflation clocked in at 3.9% YoY in Sep 2016, which is high compared to 3.6% in Aug 2016. On a month-on-month basis, it was up 0.2% in September as compared to a decline of 0.3% during Aug 2016. Food inflation picked up by 4.0%YoY in Sep 2016 compared to an incline of 3.4%YoY last month. The rebound in inflation is expected to continue in the coming months as international commodity prices recover and impact of low base effect fades off. Other macro indicators showed also improved in Aug 2016, where Large-scale manufacturing (LSM) increased by 2.6%YoY in July 2016. Private sector credit off-take continues to accelerate (up 10.5%YoY in Aug 2016 vs. 7.2% in Aug 2015) with impetus from Construction (+42%YoY), Chemicals (+18%YoY) and Telecommunication (+21%YoY). Net FDI flows during 2MFY17 clocked in at USD 112.6 mn, down 53.2%YoY. Other than this, current account balance posted a US$721 mn deficit in Aug 2016 (2.7% of GDP) against USD 595 million deficit in July 2016, led primarily by slowdown decline in remittances, lackluster exports and a rise in imports on account of higher machinery imports.

Equities In September, although the KSE 100 gained 1.84% to reach an all-time high of 40,542 points, the KSE 30 gained only 0.07% to close at 26,469.91 points. The KSE 30 index, which includes 30 of the most liquid stocks in the market, suffered as investors' interest remained high in small cap stocks. Average volumes in the market rose 4% to reach 85.9 million shares per day, however, average daily traded value appreciated by 13% to reach $62.5 million per day. Foreigners (-$82.7 mn) and Individuals (-$19.2 mn) were net sellers during the month whereas NBFC (+1$18.3 mn), Companies (+$16.3 mn) and Mutual funds (+$7.8 mn) were net buyers. Foreigners were major sellers in Construction & Materials (-$30 mn), food ($13 mn) and chemicals (-$7.5 mn). The automobile sector (+33.3%) was the best performing sector on the back of aggressive automobile financing, expectation of new models and expansion by automobile parts manufacturers which created an expectation of a rise in earnings. Personal goods (+12.3%) continued their stellar performance as investors looked to benefit from a possible depreciation of Pakistani rupee which would boost exports. Utilities (+3.8%) continued rising on an anticipated gas price increase in H1FY17. Chemicals (-4.3%) continued to decline over fears of a supply glut due to higher imports and disappointing sales in the recent months. The Construction & Materials sector (-5.6%) was the worst performing sector amid fears of a price war in the sector triggered by the recent announcements of expansions by major players. The KSE 30's trailing 12 months (TTM) PE ratio has decreased to 10.2x and continues to trade at a substantial discount to regional markets such as China's Shanghai Composite Index which is trading at 17.5x and India's Sensex Index which is trading at 20.7x.

Economic & Markets Review INTERNATIONAL

Developed Markets Developed market stocks performance remained a mix bag guided by key events during the month. The U.S. Federal Reserve decided to keep its interest rate unchanged in Sep 2016; however changing expectations regarding a possible hike kept equities volatile during the month. This also coincided with the Bank of Japan's monetary policy announcement where the Bank refrained from further easing to strengthen the Japanese yen against the US dollar (2%MoM depreciation). Near the month's end, OPEC's informal meeting helped recovery in equities on a surge in crude oil prices (WTI up 6.5%MoM) as the cartel now seems closer to capping oil production. However, growing apprehensions around the legal settlement of European Deutsche Bank with the US Government kept financials under pressure. U.S. equity benchmark S&P 500 lost 0.12%MoM in Sep 2016 while most European markets also closed the month lower (Euro Stoxx Index was down 0.7%MoM) with Germany's DAX Index losing 0.8%MoM. Going forward, key events to be tracked will be the US presidential debates and election and OPEC's next meeting to formalize the deal agreed upon last week.

Emerging Markets Emerging markets posted a relatively better performance during the month with the MSCI Emerging Index up 2.2%MoM in Sep 2016. This remained a function of greater interest in the EM space as the US and Japan monetary authorities announced favorable decisions. Weakness in dollar (DXY index -0.12%MoM) coupled with higher commodity prices (the TRJ-CRB commodity index rose 2.9%MoM in Sep 2016) proved favorable for EM stocks. Moreover, OPEC's meeting leading to an appreciation in oil prices near the month end solidified gains for the space. However, Asian big names China (-2.6%MoM continued concerns on economic recovery) and India (-2.1%MoM on geopolitical concerns) failed to follow the trend.

Commodities September remained an eventful month for global oil markets as OPEC producers that met in Algeria on 28th Sep decided to support crude oil prices by cutting oil production for the first time in 8 years. Though details on the production cut remained sketchy, the news, as soon as it broke out, was met with fervor. Overall Nymex and Brent surged by 5.3% and 5.9%, respectively. Higher than anticipated draw down (biggest fall since 1999) in the crude oil inventory/refined products helped narrow the gap between Nymex and Brent. International coal prices continued their ascent, albeit at a slow pace during the month under review rising merely by 1.9% and closing at USD67.7/MT. Gold prices oscillated during September taking cues from FOMC meeting, rising initially when the Fed decided to hold interest rates but later on declined due to rate hike expectation in December 2016. Thus gold closed up merely 0.4% up at month end.

CPI inflation continued to accelerate and was recorded at 4.2% .
