Credit

Asia headquartered banks fared well despite the global tantrum without taper in the Treasury markets. Asia headquartered bond prices fell by less than their benchmark Treasury market notes, resulting in a bout of credit outperformance. Almost all bonds tightened in credit spread terms as investors remained anchored to banks as an economic recovery play. Moderate duration, lower risk, bonds continued to outperform, although there were pockets of outperformance in China-headquartered Additional Tier 1 bonds.Bonds in the belly of the curve, that is those maturing or callable in five-years, outperformed longer dated notes. Moderate duration bonds led as investors lost faith in an inflation free economic recovery which would cap market rate rises. This is the opposite of last weeks’ performance, wherein even longer-duration note outperformed. That seemed odd given policymakers repeated statements that they would let the US economy run hot at the risk of stoking inflation. The rapid sell-off in US Treasuries during the week is evidence of market jitters regarding eventual inflation expectations.The pressure on U.S. Treasuries is largely in-line with what we have been cautioning on since the Senate run-off results in Georgia last month. Friday’s correction at the long end may be tested again.Admittedly, however, we are surprised by the credit strength of Asia-headquartered financials during the global rates rout. We attribute this to two items. First, China is further along the Covid-19 curve in recovery and will clearly benefit as the rest of the world catches-up. Second, financials are a leverage play on the global recovery. Taken together, Asia financials overall are well placed to continue outperforming other markets over the near term.Given the rate of change over the last two weeks, things are moving fast. We identify potential opportunities within. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/state-bank-of-india" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:160:1" rel="noopener">State Bank of India (SBIN IN)</a> represents one credit curve where better opportunities exist in shorter duration bonds, however, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/bank-mandiri-persero-tbk-pt" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:441:1" rel="noopener">Bank Mandiri (BMRI IJ)</a> may offer even better values, as we note within.Market Outlook: This week’s Treasury market tantrum was not induced by Fed tapering, but it is a reminder of what it may look like when the Fed does dial back its asset purchases.

Bank Credit Weekly: Asia Credit Outperforms Despite Treasury Tantrum

We progressed from melt-up to full risk-on duration admiration as the week progressed. The improved risk sentiment drove spreads tighter last week, with almost all bonds tightening  globally. China’s return from Lunar New Year holidays also pushed Asia’s financial spreads materially lower. Asia’s financial indexes outperformed European notes as Additional Tier 1 bonds in both regions continued to tighten.Debt investors continue to look to banks as a means to play the economic recovery trade. Every Asia bank headquartered Additional Tier 1 (AT1), Tier 2 and X-over rated bank bond compressed over the week. Almost all High Yield bank bonds tightened globally. <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/yes-bank-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:767:1" rel="noopener">Yes Bank (YES IN)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/indiabulls-housing-finance-ltd" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13086:1" rel="noopener">Indiabulls Housing Finance (IHFL IN)</a> bonds were among the few bonds that did not strengthen during the week. Meanwhile <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/hsbc-holdings-plc-a723bd63-0890-486f-aaa0-3bb9ad2b95ce" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:21976:1" rel="noopener">HSBC Holdings (HSBA LN)</a> and <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/standard-chartered-plc" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:193:1" rel="noopener">Standard Chartered (STAN LN)</a> are expected to report results this week. These results may impact global bank investor sentiment.In addition, HSBC may entreat us to another strategic review. It is hard to not be cynical regarding these, given the lack of success with the last two. Nonetheless, the main risk for credit investors is that of a substantial geographic reorganization which negatively impacts holding company cash flows or attempts to push holding company bonds to less attractive subsidiary operations. While we think both outcomes are unlikely, we will be watching for any potential hints of this. Globally, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/svenska-handelsbanken-ab" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:22480:1" rel="noopener">Svenska Handelsbanken's (SHBA SS)</a> 4¾% coupon 2031 callable note led Additional Tier 1 (AT1) and broader bank US$-bond performance. This bond also led global spread performance in the week prior. Other long-callable AT1 bonds also outperformed during the week, including Standard Chartered’s and UBS’s 2031 maturity bonds, as well as HSBC’s coupon 2030 maturity note. These each compressed by 13bps.Given the rate of change over the last two weeks, there are clear opportunities within the credit curves of some banks. These are potential buy or sell opportunities, depending on whether your expectations are for the current risk-on rally to continue.  We identify these by security type within.Market Outlook: Unlike 2019 when we experienced a rally that everyone loved to hate, everyone loves this rally.

Please see our recent Bank Macro Manifest and Bank Credit Strategy notes for more details.

Three macro events this week should drive near term returns. The outcomes may appear fiendish to over-extended investors, much in the same way that Krampus, the mythical counterparty to St. Nicholas, taunts naughty children.The events include the outcome of the Fed’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting, the final week for the US Congress to agree addition US federal stimulus bill this year and the almost final week towards a Brexit deal. Resulting US dollar strength could snuff out the recent rally in Asia and broader EM US$-denominated credit.Expectations that the Fed could alter its bond purchase program at its upcoming meeting has limited bearish sentiment in the long end of the Treasury market. Look for a decision to extend the weighted average maturity of its bond purchases. The failure of the Fed to deliver could embolden the market to break a psychological 1% barrier on the 10-year Treasury bond. This would be beneficial to bank securities over the short term, especially if it occurs in tandem with continued bear steepening from the short end of the curve. However, this would raise the real effective rate and could be dollar negative. Asia and EM securities could react.Even if the Fed delivers what one-half of the market expects by altering its bond buying program, there are other extenuating circumstances that could result in a flight to quality, such as renewed lockdowns, the lack of a federal fiscal package and / or Brexit agreement. In a reversal of the recent trend of bad news = buy, the lack of federal stimulus would lower risk sentiment. We remain unconvinced that an actual agreement is the underlying goal of these negotiations. Control of the US Senate is at stake and the political posturing plays right into that race. Failure to reach an agreement would move all eyes to the Senate run-off races in January. Please see out last weekly, <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/bank-credit-weekly-new-equation-is-bad-news-buy" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:46058" rel="noopener">The New Equation is Bad News = Buy</a>, for more details. The continuing saga of Brexit negotiations may also change investor risk preferences. As we approach a no deal deadline, signaling to prepare for a ‘hard Brexit’ or ‘Australian-option’ trade agreement, depending on your Brexit stance, is already impacting rates. The lack of an agreement could revive flight to quality trades as we cross into the new year.Against this backdrop, Asia High Yield securities continued to outperform US HY, as in the last few weeks. Caa-rated US credits softened slightly, although by less than Ba and B rated securities. Risk remains over-bid and the consensus trade on rates, the dollar and trade is disconcerting. Regarding over-bid risk, please see <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/insights/yes-bank-par-is-plenty-move-to-underweight" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="insights:46120" rel="noopener">YES Bank: Par is Plenty- Move to Underweight</a>.

Take Shorter Duration</a>.Market Outlook: A strong start in Asia on the back of the US FDA approval of Pfizer’s vaccine may begin the week. However, the cognitive dissonance trade which ignores distribution and time extension risk may be overcome by a buy the rumor, sell the fact tactical trade since positive sentiment from vaccine news is already priced in. Event risk should take hold as the week progresses. With economic recovery increasingly priced-into risk assets but mispriced in risk-free assets due to central bank policies, the ability to hedge market downturns may be impaired. This could exacerbate a market correction.

Technical and Quantitative Research

Vermilion Research

Vermilion’s objective is to deliver timely, actionable, and unique technical research to professional investors through the application of our various technical indicators.

Our research strategists seek to highlight securities which we believe are at major inflection points, based on our various technical and quantitative indicators, and offer asymmetric risk/return profiles. Our unique research methodology, centered on relative strength, enables our strategists to deliver superior investment recommendations.

Our process begins by organizing the universe of actively traded stocks into discrete sectors, then into industry groups. We then apply our technical and quantitative tools to identify developing price trends. Once attractive trends are identified within a selected sector or group, we screen for individual stocks which we believe offer the best risk/reward profile. We provide a historical perspective that often reveals, through our long-term charts, how price patterns often repeat themselves over time.
