ETF Securities Weekly Flows Analysis – Massive gold inflows despite hawkish Fed minutes and stronger US dollar

  • Many investors took advantage of the gold prices slide that followed the release of the Fed minutes.
  • The rebound in oil prices did not ease profit-taking in energy ETPs.
  • Coffee ETPs face outflows as Arabica yields suggest a generous harvest and the Brazilian real depreciates against the US dollar.

Gold ETFs attracted massive flows this week, totalling US$112mn, while gold prices dipped lower. Gold price ended the week lower by 2.6% as the US dollar strengthened after the release of the Federal Reserve minutes on Wednesday. The publication of the minutes of the 26-27 April FOMC meeting revealed that an interest rate hike in June was likely. Following the publication, the odds for a June rate hike (measured as probabilities extracted from the Fed Fund Futures) rose to 30% from 3% before the publication of the minutes. Obviously, FOMC members will have to strive to convince the market of an imminent move and restore confidence lost in March. Risk aversion remains elevated as many investors have taken advantage of the gold price slide to increase their exposure to gold.

Oil ETPs outflows continue on profit taking as prices recover. Oil prices rose 1.5% this week on the expectations for lower US crude inventory and additional oil production disruptions in Canada, Libya and Nigeria. However, the strengthening of the US dollar and the unexpected 1.3mn barrel increase in US crude inventory over the previous week, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), swayed the rally. The temporary supply outages were mostly offset by the increase of US crude inventory which resulted in the sixth consecutive week of profit taking in oil ETPs. Global oil markets remain over-supplied from low winter heating demand in the US and Europe resulting in high inventories, and data from Iran shows oil exports are increasing faster than expected.

Palladium ETPs recorded largest weekly inflows since July 2015. Last week saw US$5.1mn inflows into palladium ETPs as prices lost another 6.9% to US$565/oz. We believe palladium will likely be the outperformer this year. Like platinum, palladium has been in a supply deficit for the past four years and is forecast to remain in deficit for 2016 as demand from the automotive sector is expected to rise 4% this year. Other industrial precious metals also registered positive flows: US$5.7mn for silver and US$1.4mn for platinum.

Coffee ETPs registered outflows of US$10mn, as the price of coffee dropped by nearly 3.3% this week. While the coffee cropping season has just started, the US Department of Agriculture reported that Brazil (the world’s largest coffee producer) will crop 56mn of 60-kg bags this year, up 13% from last year. The prospect of higher supply as well as the depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar explains most of the decline in coffee export prices.

Key events to watch this week. The release of the second estimate of US GDP in the first quarter might be the biggest market mover next week. Market participants expect an upward revision to 0.8%qoq annualised from 0.5% in the first estimate. If we do see this upward revision, the odds for a rate hike in June could rise sharply. The Flash estimates of May PMIs in the US, Europe and Japan, will also be highly followed by market participants. Finally, the first estimate of GDP growth in the first quarter in the UK could trigger market stress in the context of intense Brexit debates.

Can palladium turn from laggard to leader?

Can palladium turn from laggard to leader?

If being a contrarian investor is appealing, palladium should be the new go-to precious metal of choice. In terms of where investors have flocked, gold and silver have been courted at the expense of platinum group metals. Palladium in particular has been ignored. Can palladium turn from laggard to leader?

While low prices and heightened economic uncertainty have justifiably seen investors brace portfolios with the defensive properties that gold and silver offer, investor positioning is stretched. Futures market positioning for both gold and silver are hovering over two standard deviations above the respective five year averages. Indeed, both gold and silver net long speculative positioning is at the highest level on record (data commenced in 1994).

(Click to enlarge)

Platinum futures positioning is at the highest since August 2014, while palladium positioning is plumbing historical depths. Net speculative positioning reached the second lowest level in April 2016 since September 2008 (the lowest level was reached in March 2016). While sentiment has begun to rebound (largely due to short covering – longs still haven’t broken a multi-year downtrend), there is plenty of room to move. Exchange traded product flows (ETP) also highlight the laggard nature of palladium, with palladium the only ETP experiencing outflows in 2016.

Palladium, like platinum, has been in a supply deficit for the past four years and another deficit is expected in 2016. Although large above ground stocks persist, further supply off-take resulting from South African wage negotiations should see the price rally continue. Moreover, auto applications accounting for 69% of demand, automotive market strength will see the market tighten further. Although growth has plateaued, car registrations remain robust, rising 4% in the US, and Chinese registrations have posted growth of over 6% in the year to April, respectively.

Palladium also shows the weakest price growth in 2016, with gains of 9.4%, compared to 20+% gains for the other precious metals. Consensus expectations for prices in the precious metals sector indicate that palladium looks the likely outperformer – Bloomberg survey forecasts indicate around a 9% rally by year-end 2016 for palladium, with all other precious metals expected to decline.

Continued inflows for commodities as energy sector bucks the trend

Continued inflows for commodities as energy sector bucks the trend

ETF Securities Weekly Flows Analysis – Continued inflows for commodities as energy sector bucks the trend

  • Gold price continues higher, with 2016 inflows near US$1.9bn, as policy uncertainty reigns.
  • Palladium inflows hit six month highs on rising US car sales.
  • Profit-taking continues for crude oil ETPs, led by WTI products.

Download the complete report (.pdf)

Gold ETP inflows have experienced withdrawals in only two weeks in 2016, with inflows totalling US$1.9bn. Gold’s rally appears to be set to continue as the market reacts to softer economic data in the US. The downside surprise for US jobs will keep uncertainty surrounding US Fed policy elevated and will certainly support gold as a potential inflation overshoot in the US seems likely. Nonetheless, the gold price needs to sustainably break above the US$1300/oz level for confidence in the precious metal to remain high. Although futures market positioning is reaching stretched levels, with myriad economic indicators to be released this week from the US, China, the Eurozone and the UK, any disappointment will boost gold higher.

Palladium inflows reach the highest level since November 2015. Although modest, the US$3.0mn inflows represent the second consecutive week of inflows, and the largest since late November 2015. Car sales have been buoyant with US light vehicle sales rising 5% over the past month (4% yoy), according to Autodata. Meanwhile, support for platinum group metals could be renewed in coming weeks, as the so-called ‘strike season’ in the South African mining industry looms. New wage negotiations are expected to occur in June, when current agreements lapse. All indications point to troubled negotiations, which led to strikes and a slump in production from the world’s largest PGM mining country.

Energy sector bucks the trend with fourth consecutive week of outflows led by oil ETPs. More profit-taking has been evident in oil ETPs, as prices struggle around US$45/bbl. Last week’s outflows of US$38.7mn takes outflows over the past month to US$236mn. While crude prices were supported late last week as a wild fire threatened a not insignificant amount of Canadian oil sands output, such support is likely to fade with ongoing builds in US oil storage volumes. Last week’s outflows of US$38.7mn takes outflows over the past month to US$236mn. 80% of last week’s outflows consisted of withdrawals from WTI crude ETPs.

Diversified industrial metal exposures lead sector with US34.1mn inflows. Tighter fundamentals across a range of industrial metals have seen investors look to gaining broad exposures in the sector, with inflows into broad basket industrial metals ETPs the third highest on record. Copper remains the preferred choice for individual industrial metals exposures, resuming the trend of inflows, which totalled US$5.6mn last week.

Key events to watch this week. The economic calendar is bulging this week, with key economic indicators from around the globe scheduled for release. A raft of Chinese data is released, including trade, retail sales and industrial production will likely be the catalyst for a continued move higher for commodities, particularly industrial metals. Meanwhile, Eurozone inflation and GDP readings will leave no question on the outlook for ECB policy: more stimulus. Central bank report from the Bank of Japan and the Bank of England should shed some light on the outlook for monetary policy, but typically guarded communications could see asset market volatility remain elevated.

Policy error and cyclical recovery to benefit commodities

Policy error and cyclical recovery to benefit commodities

Commodity Monthly Monitor – Policy error and cyclical recovery to benefit commodities

Your reference guide to commodity markets. Includes the latest outlook for each commodity sector and major developments for individual commodities.

Download the complete report (.pdf)

Summary

•    Agricultural commodities post strongest monthly returns within the complex.

•    Industrial metals saw mixed performance last month despite a stabilisation of Chinese economic activity.

•    Oil has had a volatile month.

•    Palladium to benefit from miner capex cuts and demand for gasoline cars.

The US Federal Reserve (Fed) has made a policy mistake. After raising rates for the first time in nine years, the Fed has held back from further hikes in 2016, bowing to market tantrums. The Fed is struggling to focus on the strength of domestic fundamentals such as the strong labour market or increasing inflationary pressures and is reluctant to move too far from other central banks that are still in easing mode. Consequently central bank policy remains a supportive influence on gold.

Along with the Swedish Riksbank, Danish & Swiss National Bank and the Bank of Japan, the European Central Bank (ECB) has adopted a policy of negative interest rates. We argue that NIRP, whether in nominal or real terms, is positive for gold prices. Historical data suggest that there is a relationship between negative interest rates and the gold price. Gold has risen more than 15% year-to-date and is likely to rise further as US inflation increases. A global economic recovery is likely to provide a tailwind for industrial precious metal prices (silver, platinum, palladium).

Part of the reason that these industrial precious metals have been falling since 2011 is due to China’s moderating demand, as it adjusted to a slower pace of economic growth. However silver, platinum and palladium have started to recover this year, rising 17%, 18% and 17% respectively in the last 3 months and we expect demand for these metals will likely continue as China’s industrial output appears to have found a base. Furthermore, these industrial precious metals have been in a supply deficit during the past three years. 80% of platinum and close to 40% of palladium are produced in South Africa and as the Rand depreciation abates and miners cut back on activity, supply deficits for these metals are likely to grow.

Agricultural commodities post strongest monthly returns within the complex. Corn and soybean hit multi-month highs, driven by short covering as concerns grew about the weather phenomenon, La Niña, materialising ahead of the US growing season. Lean hog futures rallied on seasonally improving demand as warm weather ushers in increased outdoor grilling.

Industrial metals saw mixed performance last month despite a stabilisation of Chinese economic activity. Sentiment reversed course for industrial metals last month, with speculative positioning unwinding. More negative sentiment belies a continued tightening in most industrial metals markets.

Oil has had a volatile month. Prices rose as investors expected a coordinated production freeze and then fell as no such deal could be delivered. A short-lived oil worker strike in Kuwait added further volatility. We expect declining non-OPEC production and rising global demand to lend support to prices.

Palladium to benefit from miner capex cuts and demand for gasoline cars. While gold, silver and platinum have rallied strongly since beginning of the year, palladium is lagging behind. We believe the metal offers a catch-up potential supported by further capex cuts and increasing global demand for gasoline cars.

Federal Reserve har begått ett policymisstag

Tri-Annual Outlook, april 2016: Federal Reserve har begått ett policymisstag

Federal Reserve har begått ett policymisstag ETF Securities, en av världens ledande och oberoende leverantörer av börshandlade produkter (ETPer), tror att den amerikanska centralbanken FED, Federal Reserve har begått ett policymisstag. Efter att ha höjt räntorna för första gången på 9 år har Fed böjt sig för marknadens missmod och hållit tillbaka på ytterligare höjningar under 2016. Fed kämpar med att fokusera på styrkan i inhemska fundament såsom en stark arbetsmarknad och ökande inflationstryck, och är motvilliga att röra sig för långt från andra centralbanker som fortfarande är i lättnadsläge.

James Butterfill, Head of Research and Investment Strategy på ETF Securities säger:

”Risken i att vänta för länge med att höja räntorna är större osäkerhet. Det blir lätt rundgång i en sådan situation, med marknaden som oroar sig för Feds beslut och Fed som bekymrar sig för marknadsvolatilitet – ett problem som ligger utanför ramen för deras mandat.”

”Den reala BNP-trenden indikerar att takten i USA:s ekonomiska tillväxt är stabil. Även om den reala BNP-tillväxten inte är lika stark som innan krisen, finns inga bevis för en inbromsning. En sådan tillväxtbana berättigar en stramare penningpolitik. Utan penningpolitisk kontroll på inflationstrycket, även en gradvis sådan, riskerar förväntningarna att bli oförankrade vilket bara kan botas med aggressiva räntehöjningar. Vi tror att nuvarande räntehöjningsguidning är otillräcklig för att hålla tillbaka priserna, och kan leda till att Fed måste strama åt mer aggressivt senare i cykeln. Detta kan leda till ytterligare oönskade konsekvenser.”

Nyckeltrender i fokus:

•    En global ekonomisk återhämtning kommer troligen ge medvind för industriella ädelmetallpriser (silver, platina, palladium)

En delförklaring till att dessa industriella ädelmetaller har fallit sedan 2011 är den måttliga efterfrågan från Kina, som har anpassat sig till en lägre tillväxttakt i ekonomin. Dock har silver, platina och palladium påbörjat en återhämtning detta år, med ökningar om 14%, 11% respektive 7%* och vi förväntar oss att efterfrågan på dessa metaller kommer fortsätta då Kinas industriproduktion tycks ha funnit fast mark.

Dessutom har alla dessa tre metaller haft utbudsunderskott de senaste tre åren. 80% av allt platina och nära 40% av allt palladium produceras i Sydafrika, och när randens försvagning avtar och gruvorna minskar sin aktivitet kommer utbudsunderskottet troligen växa.

•    Centralbankernas politik fortsätter ge stöd åt guld

Tillsammans med den svenska riksbanken och centralbankerna i Danmark, Schweiz och Japan har ECB antagit en politik med negativa räntor (NIRP). Vi hävdar att NIRP, oavsett i nominella eller reala termer, är positivt för guldpriset. Historisk data påvisar att det finns en relation mellan negativa räntor och guldpriset. Guldet har stigit mer än 15% sedan årsskiftet och kommer troligen öka ytterligare när den amerikanska inflationen ökar.

•    Sentimentet i tillväxtmarknader förbättras

Även om tillväxtmarknader har varit i en svacka under en tid, är pessimismen kring tillväxtmarknadsobligationer överdriven. Investerare överkompenseras för kreditrisken i tillväxtmarknader och detta innebär en köpmöjlighet. Kreditspreaden för tillväxtmarknader var 4.6%* och obligationsräntan för tillväxtmarknader visar lägre volatilitet än amerikanska högriskobligationer. Som en kontrast ligger avkastningen på många penningmarknader runt 0%*, och kreditspreaden på amerikanska företagsobligationer är kring 3,1%*. Ur vår synvinkel framstår investeringar i tillväxtmarknadsobligationer som fortsatt intressanta eftersom värderingen tycks billig.

Ett uppsving för efterfrågan på tillväxtmarknadsobligationer kommer också få positiva effekter på deras respektive valutor. Tillväxtmarknader är en heterogen grupp. Under förutsättning att investerarflödena söker efter avkastning inom ekonomier med hög tillväxt och låg inflation, förefaller valutor i asiatiska utvecklingsländer som bäst positionerade för styrka under 2016. Dock framstår asiatiska tillväxtvalutor som övervärderade. Från ett värderingsperspektiv föredrar vi europeiska tillväxtländer då de har förhållandevis låga skuldnivåer jämfört sina latinamerikanska och asiatiska motparter.

•    De senaste utförsäljningarna i aktiemarknaden ger möjlighet i cybersäkerhet

Cybersäkerhet är bättre positionerat än den generella teknologisektorn, eftersom denna undersektor har fördel av en mer diversifierad intäktsström genom ett brett utbud av produkter som attraherar en stor kundbas. Incidenter inom cybersäkerhet ökar i en årlig tillväxttakt (CAGR) om 66% sedan 2009**, vilket innebär lönsamhet för bolag inom cybersäkerhet.

Den globala aktiemarknadens utveckling sedan starten på 2016 har inte undgått cybersäkerhetsaktier, men har tagit ner relativvärderingen mot teknologisektorn till deras historiska genomsnitt snarare än de PE-tal kring 70x som kunde ses i december 2015.

Ett tydligt lågt beta i cybersäkerhetsaktier ger investerare möjligheten att få exponering mot ett av de snabbast växande teknologisegmenten till en jämförelsevis låg risk. Rekordinvesteringarna i finansiering och affärer under 2015 bevisar möjligheten som finns inom cybersäkerhet.

Ökande flöden för ETP-industrin

I ETFGI:s preliminära globala rapport för börshandlade fonder och produkter för mars 2016 lyfts ETF Securities starka utveckling sedan starten på året fram, med de näst största inflödena i ETPer i Europa på 2,11 miljarder dollar.***

Mark Weeks, VD på ETF Securities kommenterar:

”Under första kvartalet 2016 har vi sett starka inflöden över hela vårt breda europeiska produkterbjudande, inklusive 2,06 miljarder dollar till vårt råvaruutbud, av vilka 1,56 miljarder dollar gick in i guld. Jämte vår djuplodade marknadsanalys och vårt engagemang i att utbilda investerare stärker detta vår position som den ledande specialiserade ETP-leverantören i Europa.”

”Såsom rapporteras i vår Tri-Annual Outlook tror vi att det fortsatt finns möjligheter för investerare, trots den senaste tidens marknadsturbulens. Vi fortsätter att jobba hårt, ofta i samarbete med ledande tredjeparter, för att göra dessa möjligheter inom råvaror, valutor, tematiska aktier och räntor tillgängliga för alla europeiska investerare.”
