Key Currency Insights
Korea: Overstated Surplus
- The headline current account surplus is misleading as it reflects a smoothing approach for shipbuilding orders already hedged.
- New shipbuilding orders have slowed, which is more relevant for FX flows.
- On a 12m rolling basis, the surplus is around 6.5% of GDP, but net FX flow surplus is closer to 1.5% of GDP.
- FX forward sales correlate with new order flow, indicating that the current account surplus is not a strong driver of the won.
- The won's appreciation is limited by negative seasonality in August, increased expectations for rate cuts, and weak new order flow.
Indonesia: Hopeful Outlook After the Election
- The IDR has staged a relief rally following election uncertainties.
- We expect the IDR to revert to a 11500-11800 trading range.
- IDR bonds are being increased in allocation due to fiscal reform expectations, benign inflation, and high yields.
- The 10Y IDR yield spread over USTs could compress by 50-100bps.
- CPI is expected to fall sharply in July due to a high base from 2013 and a benign outlook for 2015.
- BI is likely to buy USD around 11400 to replenish FX reserves, limiting further depreciation.
Asia FX - Resurgent Inflows
- THB & CNH are extending gains, while USDINR DNT is recommended to stay long.
- USDKRW is expected to trade in a range of 1020-1050 due to weak fundamentals and rate cut expectations.
- SGD is supported by a well-received 10Y bond auction and a favorable supply outlook.
- INR remains range-bound, with the rupee expected to trade around 60.0.
- PHP is showing some bullish momentum, supported by large current account surpluses.
- TWD is in a neutral stance with a balanced trade situation.
