Core Content
This document outlines the key market outlook for the Asia FX & IR Strategy for the week of 23 May 2014, focusing on upcoming economic data, political developments, and market dynamics in major Asian economies. It also provides specific investment recommendations and market implications for various currencies and interest rate instruments.
Main Points
What's Crucial Next Week
- US Consumer Data: The focus will be on US consumer data, including the April durable goods orders, March FHFA home prices, May composite and services PMI, and consumer confidence index. These data points will provide insights into the US economy's health and potential rate movements.
- Asia Focus:
- India: Q1 GDP and FY 2014 deficit prints on 30 May. The fiscal deficit is expected to be worse than the 4.6% target, which may influence the new government's FY 2015 budget in July.
- Thailand: Trade, current account, business sentiment prints on 30 May. The country will auction 30Y government bonds on 28 May, amid political uncertainty. The military coup is seen as a positive for markets.
- Indonesia: Bond auction on 26 May, with expectations of weak foreign demand due to political uncertainty. The headline supply is estimated to increase, leading to higher IDR bond yields.
- Korea: Business manufacturing and non-manufacturing surveys, along with industrial production data, will be key indicators of growth momentum.
- Malaysia: 10Y MG 07/24 bond auction next week, with good demand expected from onshore investors.
- Philippines: Q1 GDP and April bank lending data will be released, with a temporary slowdown in growth due to weather and weak China expansion.
- Hong Kong: April exports, imports, and trade balance data will be released.

Political Developments
- Indonesia: The presidential election is a close race. Jokowi-Kalla leads in polls, but Prabowo-Hatta's platform is gaining traction. Political uncertainty may keep foreign demand low at the bond auction.
- Thailand: A successful coup is expected to bring order and reduce political uncertainty. This may lead to a more stable market environment, though the long-end rates may sell off due to hedging activity.
- India: A landslide victory for BJP is expected, which may influence the new government's policies and fiscal stance. The upcoming FY 2014 deficit and Q1 GDP data will be key for market sentiment.
China Interbank Regulations
- Impact: New regulations aim to address LDRs, duration mismatch, and liquidity risk. Shadow banking is being restricted, and liquidity is expected to flow back into the interbank market.
- Bond Market: Bond-swap spreads are expected to widen, with a bias toward lower bond yields. On the NDIRS curve, flatteners are maintained due to potential growth disappointments.
- Short-term Impact: Growth may struggle due to reduced financing options, especially in real estate and overcapacity sectors.
- Long-term Impact: Risk premiums and financing costs are expected to decrease, and asset securitization and direct financing markets will grow.
Market Outlook
- Indonesia: Neutral cash and duration exposure on IDR bonds is recommended as the election period approaches.
- Thailand: The 2s10s THB IRS flattener is being closed, and the 1s3s steepener is maintained.
- China: Expect continued support for bonds and a possible shift in bond-swap spreads.
- Overall: The market is expected to be active in local debt capital markets, with a focus on liquidity, political stability, and economic data.
