Institutional Perspective

Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs downgraded ICBC (01398.HK) and ABC (01288.HK) to sell

Goldman Sachs published a research note saying that similar to the 2013-2015 cycle, banks will strive to maintain dividends at the beginning of a downward cycle, and then give priority to capital and risk buffers over dividend targets when dividends, capital and provisions do not balance well. It expects China's banks to face similar challenges and repeat dividend payout patterns in 2023-2025. Goldman cut its pre-provision earnings forecasts for big banks by 5% and 6% for this year and next, while taking into account the risk of lower dividends, cutting its price targets by an average of 1%. Downgraded Agricultural Bank of China (01288.HK) to sell from neutral, with a target price of HK $2.45 from HK $2.62, saying that Agricultural Bank faces a significant risk of dividend reduction. Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (01398.HK) was downgraded to sell from buy with a target price of HK $3.55 each.

SOCIETE GENERALE

【SOCIETE GENERALE:The low EUR/USD implied volatility seems to ignore the risks facing the euro area economy】

"Given the economic instability in the euro zone, the low level of implied EUR/USD volatility looks like a sign of complacency," Olivier Korber, FX derivatives strategist at Socgen Bank, said in a note. Implied EUR/USD volatility has fallen to the level of realized volatility, seemingly reflecting market complacency as the euro area recently faced a series of negative economic surprises and entered a technical recession. Implied volatility may now rise with the impact of a sharp rise in interest rates. Mechanically tightening monetary policy comes at the expense of future growth, the strategist said. Three-month implied volatility for the euro/dollar is around 6.425%, down from 8.6% at the start of the year, according to Refinitiv data.

MUFG

MUFG:Whether the dollar has further weakness will become clearer in July

July 5 - The dollar index fell 1.4% in June and whether the greenback will weaken further, or to what extent, should become clearer in July, MUFG economists report. Us PCE data at the end of June slowed further, raising the possibility that the Fed could extend its pause on rate hikes if US job market and CPI data also show signs of weakness. In that case, the Fed's tightening cycle could come to an end, which could help drive the dollar weaker. Even if the Fed hikes rates in July, the dollar's scope for appreciation in the second half of the year is still limited as markets are close to fully pricing in this expectation and most other G10 currencies' central banks expect further hikes.
