Asian indices generally higher as volumes continue to track on the lighter side. Japan finished
notably strong with the Nikkei +2.23% driven by a weaker Yen (JPY -0.59% to 99.74).
SHCOMP ended at the highs with most sectors trading better ahead of policy reform
announcements expected to come after the CPCC meetings wrap up this evening. Hong Kong
lagged the region following yesterday's late rally as H-Share banks struggled after New Yuan
Loans missed expectations. While Indonesia also underperforms after a surprise rate increase.
European markets trading heavier this morning but its quieter than it's been in recent days with
focus on the homestretch of earnings season as well as the continued v busy deal calendar (6
offerings totaling north of €2.75B notional in Europe overnight). GBP getting hit hard after the
UK October inflation numbers came in lower than estimates (+0.1% m/m vs est +0.3%, +2.2%
y/y vs est +2.5%) (BOE quarterly inflation report with updated forecasts will be presented
tomorrow). Merrill's November Global Fund Manager Survey is out and does a good job of
summing up general sentiment/positioning with the title "Like a Bull in the Headlights" (it goes
on to point out that despite US equities and global credit prices ticking to new all-time highs
"investor mistrust over valuation and/or growth means cash balances remain too high for a
correction"). Volumes were light yesterday in the US due to the Veteran's day holiday and the
S&P traded in a 2 point range for most of the session. Should be busier today although the
earnings and macro calendars are light. Note that KORS is replacing NYX in the S&P 500 on the
close today (there is a decent size funding trade — $2.2B SPX to sell). SPA's -4 handles = 1764
last.
