2.2.2018 NZ CUSTOMS RELEASE ISSUE 442 |

Global Finance Report Weekly Market Commentary US Equity markets crashed, to close the worst week in two years. Non Farm Payrolls beat expectations, adding 200,000 jobs, triggering a further surge in Bond Yield rates! This is how normal markets function. Growth leads to inflation, which in turn leads to rising interest rates. Rising rates attract investment, providing alternatives to equity markets and tempering inflation. The return to the 'normal course of business' is a refreshingly strong foundation to build economic growth. The post-GFC economy had relied on monetary policy to boost the economy, which lead to weak data further expanding liquidity, triggering massive asset bubbles. Equities were major beneficiaries of this monetary stimulus. The narrative has changed as economic data and consumer confidence are driving the economic boom. This has been triggered by US tax cuts and deregulation. These solid foundations are building corporate earnings and equity markets. The rise in interest rates are a natural progression but have encouraged capital flows away from equities. The US 10 Year Bond Yield rose to 2.85%! This supported a rebound in the Dollar, with the EUR slipping back to 1.2480, while the Yen traded above 110. The resurgent reserve hit the buoyant commodity currencies, as the AUD plunged to 0.7950, while the NZD tests 0.7300 on the downside. The coming week, heralds an avalanche of economic data, headlined by Trade and PMI numbers. Markets will be heavily influenced by Central Bank rate decisions and associated rhetoric. Expect a huge week! |  |
