Institutional Perspective

01

Goldman Sachs

【Goldman Sachs:The Fed will cut rates by 25BP quarterly in Q2 next year】

August 14, Goldman Sachs said in a research note released in the early morning of the 14th that our benchmark forecast is that the Federal Reserve's FOMC will start to cut the federal funds rate in the second quarter of 2024. We expect quarter-on-quarter rate cuts. The FOMC could cut rates more quickly if it became more confident that inflation would not return.

02

SOCIETE GENERALE

Societe Generale: expects US Core CPI to rise 0.3% m/m, and a level of 0.4% or perhaps higher would mean chaos.

August 10, we expect U.S. core CPI to rise 0.3% month-over-month in July, up from 0.2% in June, economists at Societe Generale said. That's not a disaster, but it's not ideal either, and not what a data-dependent Fed wants to see. It could help U.S. bond yields regain ground lost earlier in the week during a period of heightened risk aversion. A 0.4% or higher YoY increase or implies a chaotic scenario that could include a hawkish repricing of the Fed, a sell-off of U.S. Treasuries (and German Bunds), swap payouts, risk aversion in equities/credit/high-beta FX, and a strong U.S. Dollar, among other things. And a monthly rate of 0.2% or lower would be the Goldilocks scenario: equity and FX market risk appetite, and bullish flattening of 2yr/10yr US bonds.

03

MUFG

【MUFG: Japan's first trade surplus in nearly two years, which is expected to support the Yen】

August 10, MUFG said that over time, Japan's shift to a trade surplus will become a "key" factor in supporting the yen exchange rate. Earlier this week, Japan released data showing that the country's first trade surplus since October 2021, the size of the largest since July 2021, too. Derek Halpenny, head of global market research for Europe at MUFG, noted that "the fading of the negative energy price shock is a crucial fundamental shift for the yen." As Japan's energy supply is mostly dependent on imports, last year's energy price spike on the yen exchange rate and Japan's current account pressure, but in the wake of a sharp decline in natural gas imports, the corresponding pressure has ceased to exist, which means that the dollar against the yen to further higher space or has been limited.
