Market outlook

Local assets extend losses. Local rates sold-off 3-4bps but real-rate Udibonos

rallied 6bps, while the peso lost 1.7% to 18.18 per dollar

Fed minutes and global growth concerns in the spotlight. China data during

the weekend was lower than expected, keeping markets doubting whether

financial risks (and overleverage) can be handled appropriately by authorities

without making a big dent on growth. Downside risks in other regions are also

present, with the BoE and BoJ maintaining a dovish bias. The G7 meeting in

Japan by the end of this week should be mostly concerned over the possible tools

that could be used to address this global scenario. In contrast and in the US, early

2Q16 data signal a rebound in GDP growth. In this context, investors are

questioning themselves how much is the fragile global backdrop likely to affect

the Fed in terms of their timing for rate hikes, with markets incorporating a

relatively low probability for a June (4%) or July (17.4%) move. The main event

this week will be the FOMC minutes to gauge the possibility of a sooner-than-

expected hike, with more hawkish comments by their members after the latest

decision. Also in the US, Empire and Philly surveys, housing data, and April CPI

and industrial production. In the Eurozone, ECB minutes, trade balance, April

CPI and March construction. In the UK, retail sales, and unemployment, while

Japan will release industrial production and 1Q16 GDP. Central bank meetings

include Colombia, South Africa, and Indonesia. In Mexico, Banxico’s minutes

after a neutral decision, final 1Q16 GDP, and March IGAE will be published

Fixed-Income dynamics In line with our expectations, the Mexican market observed a profit taking

process along last week in tandem with higher risk premium in the global

spectrum. Local bonds registered a 3-4bps sell-off in the second week of May,

mainly in Mbonos and TIIE-IRS, but gains of 6bps in mid- and long-term linkers

(Udibonos). In this regard, Mbono Dec’24 finished at 5.81% (+2bps) and Mar’26 at

5.91% (+1bps)

Fixed-Income supply Banxico’s weekly auction. On Tuesday, the MoF will auction 1-, 3-, and 6-month

zero-coupon Cetes, the 5-year Mbono (Jun’21), and the 10-year real rate Udibono

(Dec’25)

Investors probably awaiting better levels for long positions; demand for

Mexican linkers has started to pick up. We expect a modest demand for the 5-year

Mbono as market participants are likely to wait for better entry levels. This security

could observe a correction towards 5.47% (Fibonacci and 100-day MA), taking

into consideration lower spread vs Treasuries and a 5y5y forward rate at 6.61%,

suggesting limited space for further appreciation. On the other hand, demand for

Mexican linkers (Udibonos) has started to pick up despite the ongoing deflationary

period but with an interesting breakeven at 2.84% for the 10-year tenor

Fixed-Income technicals Foreign investors continue reducing exposure in Cetes following a negative

FX-adjusted carry. Spreads between Cetes and implied forward rates: 1-month -

27bps from -45bps last week, 3-month -30bp from -39bps, 6-month at -23bps from

-19bps, and the 1-year tenor at -8bps from -3bps

Market participants will pay attention to Banxico’s minutes this week,

together with Fed and ECB information. In our view, minutes from Banxico’s

last decision are likely to confirm the possibility of hiking at the same time or even

before the Federal Reserve if necessary during this 2016. This situation explains the

52bps of implied hikes that the Mexican yield curve prices in for year-end vs 13bps

in the U.S.

Fixed-Income technicals (continued) Global growth, central banks’ future actions, and oil performance has printed

May’s mood, with a decoupled trading between local and American securities.

Mexican rates have been affected by foreign conditions and therefore extending

April’s modest sell-off, as U.S. Treasuries have benefited by their safe haven

appeal and the market expectations over the Federal Reserve

Spreads between TIIE-IRS and Mbonos held the upward trend following the

need for hedging as May could turn more complicated for emerging markets.

The 2-year spread increased to 71bps from 61bps while the 10-year tenor moved to

17bps from 16bps

Short-term breakevens increased as real-rates outperformed nominal-rate

along the week despite April’s deflation print. In this sense, 3-year figures are

trading at 2.57% from 2.53%, while the 5-year stands at 2.97% from 2.78%

However, both short- and long-duration inflation expectations are still below

Banxico’s 3.00% target. The 10-year breakeven closed unchanged from last week

at 2.84% from 2.79%, whereas the 30-year at 2.94% from 2.87%

Fixed-Income trade recommendations Mexican curve attractive within the EM spectrum but we suggest as a tactical

strategy to underweight positions and wait for better entry levels for long

directional strategies in mid- and long-term Mbonos. The local yield curve

remains one of the most attractive alternatives in emerging markets, taking into

consideration a still steep slope (2/10 at 137bps), an appealing risk premia vis-à-vis

its fundamentals (10-year spread at 411bps vs 12-month mean at 390bps), and a

monetary normalization process already priced in (5y5y forward rate at 6.61%).

However, despite our expectation for a further flattening bias in the next 2 years

(positive for carry trade), we suggest appropriate waiting for better entry levels in

the long belly of the Mbonos curve. It is our take that the short-end will remain

pressured in tandem with deteriorated dynamics in the FX market since the end of

April. In our view, the 53bps of implied hikes priced in the curve for year-end are

attainable, with low probability of decreasing going forward. On the other hand, we

acknowledge the existence of an attractive valuation in mid- and long-term

securities, albeit with limited space for further appreciation, at least in coming

weeks. In this regard, we recommend as a tactical strategy holding an underweight

stance and waiting for better entry levels for long positions in the belly of the

Mbonos curve. For further details about our views on the market and forecasts

please refer to our research note: “Fixed-Income, FX and Commodities Quarterly –

2Q16 Outlook” <pdf>, published on April 19, 2016

FX dynamics

Mexican peso weak despite increase in oil. The MXN was the third worst among

EM despite a pick-up in oil prices, losing 1.7% to 18.18 per dollar

Dollar extends gains. Weak data in several regions but positive surprises in the US

gave the currency a lift against G10, with all lower except NOK and led by JPY

and SEK (-1.4% each)

FX positioning and flows MXN shorts surge higher. The net short was increased by US$ 901 million after

reaching its lowest level since October 2015 last week, the latest moment when the

position tried to flip to net long, ending at US$ 1.2 billion

First increase in USD positions in nine weeks. Global USD net shorts were

reduced by US$ 368 million to end at a still relatively high level of US$ 5.5 billion.

This was mainly explained by a hefty reduction in AUD longs of US$ 1 billion and

higher MXN shorts, as explained above. All other currencies were purchased, led

by GBP (+US$ 688 million) and CAD (+US$ 438 million)

Asian outflows impact overall EM performance. Mutual funds sold US$ 381

million in EM, the first outflow in four weeks amid an increase in market volatility.

Both fixed-income and equities were lower, with sales in the latter at US$ 248

million given a decrease of US$ 325 million in Asia. Bonds registered their first

outflow since the week ended March 2. In Mexico, fixed-income inflows were

barely positive at US$ 1.7 million, while equities picked up modestly to US$ 24

million

FX technicals USD/MXN testing February-end highs. The upward correction continued, with

the peso reaching up to 18.20 on an intraday basis, a level not seen since the end of

February after consolidating since then with a strong resistance at 18.00 per dollar

MXN correlation with commodities strengthens. Despite a slight reduction in

MXN correlations with other currencies, the most important move was the increase

with the GSCI and gold, with not only oil but broad metals on the spotlight and

observing significant moves. Our base-case remains that correlations should remain

broadly high. Intraday volatility has picked up in the past two weeks and although

a more stable external environment could reduce correlations somewhat, we still

see a plethora of factors of a global nature as the main drivers of market trends

Slight reversal in implied volatilities. After last week’s strong increase, the vol.

curve moderated as it decreased 24bps on average up to the one-year tenor. The 1M

measure outperformed as it fell by 43bps to 13.4%, while the two- and three-

month measures decreased around 30bps. The spread against historicals tightened,

with the former at 8bps and the latter at 14bps, with the strongest catch-up in

market measures signaling an adjustment towards fair values

FX technicals (continued) Short-term risk reversals once again signaling risks for the peso. The skew in

favor of short-term OTM USD/MXN calls over puts plunged again after last

week’s upward adjustment, with the 1M measure ending at 0.98 (-0.67vols) and the

3-month maturity at 1.74 (-0.46vols). When adjusted for volatility, the former went

again to undervalued territory, plunging from 0.12 to 0.07, or to -2.2σ over its 1Y

average, signaling once again an elevated risk of further pressures in the currency

FX trade recommendations We reiterate our short USD/MXN bias for trading purposes. We forecast a

weekly range between 17.90-18.40 pesos per USD. The MXN remained weak

throughout the week despite moderating the strength of the moves above 18.00 per

dollar. In our view, the cross has overshot somewhat. Therefore, we reiterate our

recommendation of maintaining a short USD/MXN bias for trading purposes, but

avoiding directional positions. Among the reasons, we highlight: (1) The peso

depreciated despite its high correlation with oil prices, and WTI gaining 3.7%; (2)

central banks such as the BoE and BoJ showed a more dovish tilt, which could

support risky assets, although the same bias has not been present in recent

commentary by FOMC members; (3) if the peso maintains a relatively weak

behavior when compared to other EM, we do not discard the possibility of

discretionary USD sales by the Foreign Exchange Commission, which could

provide some relief to the currency; and (4) local economic data has been stronger,

but the peso has not reacted meaningfully. Even after accounting for these factors,

we warn that it is likely that the peso’s appreciation potential will remain limited.

As a result, we suggest to keep avoiding strong directional positions, more so

considering the increase in intraday volatility during the past two weeks
