2013.07.25 15:55:07 RESEARCH: Sterling will outperform euro and the yen
Quotes from Societe Generale Cross Asset Research:
-BoE Governor Carney expressed his preference for forward guidance. The latest PMI readings confirm the broad-based vigour in the UK economy following a weak first quarter.
-Sterling will fall against the dollar, and we see cable at 1.43 by year-end. But we believe sterling will outperform euro and the yen, as monetary policy continues to ease in Japan and the EA.

2013.07.24 13:31:59 RESEARCH: China will see a bumpy landing over the medium term
Quotes from Societe Generale Cross Asset Research:
-Our core scenario is that China will see a bumpy landing over the medium term, with growth grinding persistently lower from 7. 4 % in 2013 to 6% in 2017. However, there is still a non-negligible risk that China could land hard, with growth of less than 6% in 2013.
-In an extreme hard landing scenario, we estimate base metals could drop 40%, while the US dollar rallies and treasuries outperform other debt markets and global equity markets.

2013.07.17 15:17:33 RESEARCH: Mild CNY appreciation trend likely to resume in 2014
Quotes from Standard Chartered:
-Local FX strength has little near-term role to play in macroeconomic rebalancing in China amid subdued domestic activity data, well-contained domestic inflation and mixed commodity prices. As global activity steadily improves into 2014 USD-AXJ more broadly may be on a downward track and China's domestic inflation outturns may deteriorate. We expect a mild CNY appreciation trend to resume in 2014.
-We also make a modest upward adjustment to the USD-CNY profile further out, forecasting a gradual 1.9% appreciation per year between 2014 and 2017 (based on annual averages). China's productivity gains and current-account surpluses favour trend CNY appreciation, but there are also important domestic economic imbalances which create risks around this central scenario.

- The World Bank's board on Tuesday agreed to a new energy strategy that will limit financing of coal-fired power plants to "rare circumstances," as the Washington-based global lending powerhouse seeks to address the impact of climate change.
- In its "Energy Sector Directions Paper," updated every 10 years, the Bank said it will aim to "minimize the financial and environmental costs of expanding reliable energy supply."
- The Bank will amend its lending policies for new coal-fired power projects, restricting financial support to countries that have "no feasible alternatives" to coal.

2013.07.16 12:55:53 RESEARCH: Anxiety over Fed's QE tapering will have little influence on average oil prices in the near term
Quotes from Standard Chartered:
-Oil markets have ignored any negative impact associated with China's below-trend growth, due to (1) the relative inelasticity of oil demand to GDP in the short term, (2) China accounting 'only' for about 11% of global oil demand and (3) supply issues overwhelming demand concerns.
-We believe anxiety over QE tapering will have little influence on average oil prices in the near term as fundamentals and geopolitics dominate, though QE tapering may introduce additional volatility to oil prices.
