Long oil ETP inflows at a 17 month year high

Long oil ETP inflows at a 17 month year high

Commodity ETP Weekly – Long oil ETP inflows at a 17 month year high

  • Investors injected US$113mn into long oil ETPs suggesting they expect current price weakness to be temporary.
  • Sterling on the other hand is likely to remain weak for longer as the Bank of England cut the Bank Rate to a new record low and expanded its stimulus package by another £170bn.
  • While investors continue to pile into gold ETPs, robotics and cybersecurity ETPs are gaining traction.

Download the complete report (.pdf)

As the first signs of economic slowdown in the UK start to emerge in the wake of the EU referendum, members of the Bank of England’s MPC (Monetary Policy Committee) last Thursday unanimously voted to cut interest rates to a new historical low of 0.25%. While the rate cut, the first one since 2009, was widely expected, the Bank of England cut its growth forecast for 2018 to 1.8% from 2.3% and unleashed a huge expansion of its stimulus package adding £70bn to its bond purchase programme and allowing banks to borrow up to £100bn thanks to its new funding scheme.

Investors increased exposure into long oil ETPs by the most since March 2015 as WTI fell below US$40/bbl. Last week saw net inflows of US$113mn into long oil ETPs as well as outflows of US$4mn from short oil ETPs as the price of WTI fell below the US$40/bbl. early last week. The unusual increase of oil inventories in the US for the second consecutive week is weighing on the price of both oil benchmarks despite gasoline inventories showing a large drawn-down for the first time this summer. Petroleum inventories in the US tend to decline during the summer driving season. We expect WTI crude inventories to follow gasoline inventories and start to decrease in coming weeks.

Gold continues to see inflows as it trades near a 2-year high. Last week saw US$74.4mn inflows into gold ETPs. While initially rising due to monetary expansion in the UK and fiscal expansion in Japan, gold slid following a bullish US non-farm payroll release. The recent decline could generate a fresh-round of buying as investors seek to shore up hedges in their portfolio.

Robotics and cybersecurity gain traction. Viewed as the sectors of the future, we believe that both robotic and cybersecurity are likely to perform well if held in a portfolio for the long term due to their stable revenues. Equity indices exposed to robotic and cyber stocks rose 7% and 9% respectively over the past month while the ETPs saw net inflows of US$27.2mn and US$10.7mn respectively over the same period.

Short sterling and long euro, the leitmotif in the FX market. Following the Bank of England decision to cut its policy rate and expand its quantitative easing, the British pound fell by 1.6% against the Euro generating inflows of US$6.4mn into short GBP ETPs. Combined with the strong US non-farm payroll the following day, Sterling was down 2.4% against the US dollar. We are likely to see further downward pressure on the pound in the near term.

Key events to watch this week. China trade balance for July came higher than expected this morning as China imports dropped by 5.7%. The country is due to release a number of other indicators over the course of the week including CPI, retail sales and industrial production. UK 3 month GDP estimate for July will be closely watched along with UK and US retail sales.

The slightly hawkish FOMC statement failed to curb investors’ appetite for gold

The slightly hawkish FOMC statement failed to curb investors’ appetite for gold

ETF Securities Weekly Flows Analysis – The slightly hawkish FOMC statement failed to curb investors’ appetite for gold


•    Gold inflows suggest investors continue to hedge against uncertainties ahead.
•    Global equity ETPs attracted US$33mn. Inflows dominated by thematic ETPs related to robotics.
•    The Bank of Japan easing measures fell short of expectations, boosting long JPY exposures.

Download the complete report (.pdf)

Gold attracted US$277.6mn of flows this week suggesting the slightly hawkish FOMC statement failed to clear away uncertainty. The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at its July meeting but noted that near-term risks to the US economy have “diminished” after a rebound in US hiring in June. The odds for September hike – calculated from the Fed funds futures – increased modestly to 28%. Gold strengthened marginally over the past week, by 2.16% to around US$ 1,351 per troy ounce. Platinum showed the strongest price increase for the second consecutive week, rising by 6.15% to US$ 1,148 per troy ounce.

Inflows into crude oil ETPs rise by US$35.3mn, while Brent crude has entered a new bear market. The inflows in long oils (US$40mn) are the largest since February this year suggesting that investors see buying opportunities in the weakness of Brent. Brent price fell more than 20% since the peak of US$52.86 in June, reaching US$42 per barrel. The latest drift downward in crude oil prices comes as outages are reduced, there is an overhang of refined products and US rig counts rise.

Inflows into wheat ETPs rise for the 7th consecutive week. The International Grains Council revised upward (+7mn tons) its estimate for the global wheat production in the 2016-17 harvest year. This increase of supply, together with an upward revision of opening stocks, resulted in a 1.8% decline of wheat price on the week.

Global equity inflows increase US$33mn led by thematic ETPs related to robotics. In the meantime, investors continue to reduce their long positions in Europe equity ETPs – although at a moderate pace – in the wake of weaker macro indicators in the region. Last week, we saw US$3mn outflows from EU equity ETPs after inflows culminated at US$10.3mn mid-July.

Investors increase their exposure to JPY by US$18.2mn. The central bank of Japan (BoJ) enlarged its annual purchase of equity ETFs by JPY2.7tn to JPY6tn, while keeping its key monetary tools unchanged. Investors judge the current action insufficient to have a material impact on the inflation outlook. As a result, the JPY soared by 2.85% to 102.30 against the US dollar at close.

Key events to watch this week. The Bank of England meeting will be held on Thursday. The July PMI indicators showed signs of a coming recession in the UK. Investors expect a 25bps decrease of the base rate from 0.5% to 0.25%, to support the UK economy in its transition outside of EU. In the US, the ISM Manufacturing and non-manufacturing indices and more importantly the employment report will get the full attention of the market. A solid increase of nonfarm payrolls after the 287k rise in June would increase the odds for a rate hike in September.

Håll ögonen på Robotics ETF

Håll ögonen på Robotics ETF

Robothandel är något som de flesta inte undgått att höra talas om men det finns anledning att Håll ögonen på Robotics ETF, eller som den formellt heter Robo-Stox Global Robotics & Automation Index ETF (NasdaqGM: ROBO). När denna börshandlade fond lanserades i slutet av 2013 fick den ta emot en del kritik för att den var allt för nischad. Det sades att den hade inte var tillräckligt bred för att kunna attrahera ett intresse för det stora antalet investerare. Under 2015 har denna ETF backat med fem procent, en effekt av att industrisektorn har haft problem.

Räkna inte bort denna ETF

Räkna inte bort denna ETF, men satsa samtidigt inte allt kapital i denna börshandlade fond. Vi gillar denna nisch-ETF, men det är en börshandlad fond som kräver en försiktig hållning. Begreppet robotik vinner mark, och International Federation of Robotics förväntar sig att försäljningen av robotar världen över kommer att öka med 6 procent mellan 2014 och 2016. Prognosen är att cirka 190 000 industrirobotar kommer att levereras till företag runt om i världen under 2016.

Tech sektorn skulle kunna vända. Som en tillväxtorienterad sektor leder sektorn under ett marknad rally. Det betyder att vi kan komma att se ett rally inom tekniksektorn om förvaltarna väker att allokera ytterligare kapital till sektorn.

Bilförsäljningen ökar på de tre största marknaderna

Enligt en rapport har KUKA AG gynnats av en ökad bilförsäljning på de tre största marknaderna, Västeuropa, Kina och USA där försäljningen spås ha ökat med 8,7 %, 5,5 % respektive 5,0 % för de första tre kvartalen 2015. KUKA är en av de företag som ingår i ROBO.

Det handelsvägda dollarindexet har ökat med cirka 15 procent under det senaste året och befinner sig just nu på den högsta nivån på tio år. Därför bör investerare vara medvetna om att den starkare dollarn kan påverka företagets försäljning i utlandet, särskilt för stora multinationella företag med betydande utländska exponering. Historiskt sett har industrisektorn återhämtade sig under perioder när den amerikanska dollarn försvagats. Följaktligen bör detta tyda på att industriföretag skulle vara negativt korrelerade till dollarn.

Denna ETF debiterar sina andelsägare ett förvaltningsarvode om 0,95 procent per år.

Non-farm payrolls in the US surprisingly missed expectations by a large 53k, reviving market uncertainty about the timing of rate increases in the US. Weaker-than-expected trade balance data in the US added pressure to the USD. Commodities rose 3% on average as a result. Continued declines in global supply of many commodities combined with further corporate adjustments in production and capital expenditure should continue to lend support to the asset class. The FOMC minutes suggest that a rate rise is still likely to happen late 2015. However, downside risks remain elevated leaving investors in a wait-and-see mode, with October and November payroll figures likely to settle the matter.

Rising uncertainty benefits gold. Gold ETPs recorded net inflows of US$18.4mn for the fourth consecutive week as US non-farm payroll released the previous Friday came out extremely weak at 53k below market expectations. Investors are now looking for signs that the Federal Reserve will still increase interest rates this year. Combined with weaker-than-expected US trade balance, the USD slid 1% over the past week to Thursday while gold price rose 1.9%. Silver ETPs on the other hand, saw net outflows of US$11.8mn, likely on profit taking as silver price surged 7.3% during the same period. Increased volatility in the financial market lent buoyancy to silver, a commodity commonly considered as a leverage of gold.

Net inflows into natural gas ETPs continue. Natural gas ETPs recorded another week of net inflows last week ahead of the winter heating season in the US. While the Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects natural gas demand from heating to be 10% lower than last year, the agency forecasts natural gas price to average US$2.81/MMBtu this year. Prices have averaged US$2.75/MMBtu so far this year suggesting that there is still scope for gains in the coming months. Meanwhile oil was the best performer of the week. Brent and WTI soared 11.2% and 10.5% respectively on the back of declining production in the US according to the EIA latest data. In addition, EIA expects global consumption growth to rise by 1.3mb/d in 2015 and 1.4mb/d in 2016, an upward revision of 100,000 barrels per day compared to September figures. Positive sentiment should remain supportive of prices and eventually translate into flows.

Copper rose on revised supply/demand balance. Copper ETPs saw net outflows of US$8.1mn last week as the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) revised down their forecast for 2015 surplus from 364k tonnes to 41k tonnes in their October report released last week, taking into account larger production cuts as a result of recent corporate announcements. The ICSG also expects copper to be in a 127k tonnes deficit in 2016 as opposed to the 228k tonnes surplus previously forecast.

Production drop boosted sugar price. Lower-than-average rainfall in India combined with excessive rain in Brazil and a production cut in China have reduced sugar global supply, sending the price of sugar to its 7-month high. Sugar spiked 35% since its lowest level in August. As a result, sugar ETPs recorded net outflows of US$5.2mn for the second week in a row on profit taking mainly from ETFS Sugar (SUGA) and ETFS Leveraged Sugar (LSUG).

Key events to watch this week. Chinese trade data will give an indication of demand from the world’s largest commodity consumer. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) and market confidence for the US and Europe will also be in focus.
