Institutional Perspective

01

Goldman Sachs

【Goldman Sachs:The Fitch downgrade won't have an immediate impact on U.S. financial markets】

The reasons Fitch downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating from the highest level contained no new fiscal information and largely reflected governance and medium-term challenges, Goldman strategists led by Jan Hatzius wrote in a note. "The downgrade should have no direct impact on financial markets as major holders of Treasuries are unlikely to be forced to sell in response to a downgrade. Because Treasurys are such an important asset class, most investment mandates and regulatory regimes specifically refer to Treasurys, rather than AAA-rated government bonds, when it comes to selling. "While the S&P downgrade in 2011 affected sentiment, there was no significant forced selling."

SOCIETE GENERALE

SOCIETE GENERALE:The pound struggles on days when the BOE raises rates

On August 1, economists at Societe Generale said they were bearish on the pound against the dollar and bullish on the euro against the pound due to August seasonality. The overhang surrounding Thursday's BOE rate decision should make for cautious trading in GBP, although price action in these currency pairs ahead of the announcement will likely depend on ISM manufacturing data from the US today and ADP employment data on Wednesday. The decision to raise interest rates this year has generally not been well received by the pound. Three of the four rate hikes sent GBP/USD lower on the day. Eur/GBP rallied four times. The seasonal bearish character of the pound in August is pronounced, with the pound falling against the dollar eight times and the euro rising against the pound seven times over the past decade.

MUFG

【MUFG:The BOJ acted stealthfully and waited to see what would happen】

July 28 - By raising the ceiling for its fixed-rate operations to 1%, the BOJ effectively widened the target range for the 10-year government bond yield, making it easier for the central bank to steer the yield target flexibly, said MUFG senior market economist Naomi Muguruma. In this sense, the central bank acted stealthily. The BOJ will likely wait to see how these measures prove effective for the time being. The BOJ will not determine the strength of wage growth and price trends until at least next spring's labor offensive gives clues on wages.
