Asia Is Exception as Emerging Markets Start to Look Fragile

From Yahoo Finance May 7, 2021

(Bloomberg) -- EXAMPLEDiscover what’s driving the global economy and what it means for policy makers, businesses, investors and you with The New Economy Daily. Sign up here.In the pandemic’s second year, some familiar worries -- about inflation, capital flight or public debt -- are starting to surface across the developing world. Except in one corner.In Asia, policy makers aren’t too preoccupied with these classic emerging-market problems. Their economies look increasingly like they’ve emerged.That’s largely down to lessons learned from the traumas of the past three decades –- from the late-1990s regional meltdown to the global crash of 2008 and the so-called “taper tantrum” of 2013 -- and the defenses put in place as a result.“Asian countries have used past crises to learn and build resilience,” said Sonal Varma, an economist at Nomura Holdings Inc. in Singapore.Their economies now boast hefty foreign-exchange reserves, stronger financial systems and an unassailable place as the world’s manufacturing powerhouse. Their stock markets, like those in the developed world, have posted gains during the pandemic while other emerging regions lost ground.In India, which is battling the world’s worst Covid-19 outbreak, the central bank chief has cited the buffer provided by its foreign exchange reserves, which have grown more than tenfold since 2000. “This gives us the confidence to deal with global spillovers,” Governor Shaktikanta Das said Wednesday as he introduced new support measures.Similarly, Indonesia and Thailand’s reserves are holding near records after expanding more than five- and seven-fold, respectively, over that period.All of this has left the region’s policymakers largely unfazed by the great inflation scare roiling many of their peers.With U.S. bond yields on the rise and the prices of food, energy and raw materials soaring, emerging nations like Brazil, Russia and Turkey have been forced into interest-rate hikes this year -– even though their economies are still recovering from Covid-19.By contrast, central bankers in Asia sound more like the Federal Reserve’s Jerome Powell -- arguing that any price increases will likely be modest and transitory. No emerging Asia economy has raised their benchmark interest rate so far in 2021, and only Pakistan is forecast to do so by year-end, according to Bloomberg.The region is likely to undershoot inflation targets this year like it did in 2020, TD Ameritrade analysts said in an April 19 report.Lessons LearnedAt the start of the Asian crisis in 1997, policymakers responded with fiscal consolidation and higher interest rates. The ensuing slump cost the region hundreds of billions of dollars in lost output and triggered a profound rethink of how economies should be managed.When the global crash of 2008 arrived, Asian economies were more resilient “because they responded with countercyclical fiscal and monetary stimulus,” according to a report this year by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific. And there’s been no major debt crisis in the region since the 90s, “thanks in part to the rapid growth of local currency bond markets.”The markets for government and corporate debt in emerging Asian economies were worth more than $20 trillion last year, up from less than $1 trillion two decades earlier.Some countries also moved to impose long-term restraints on spending -- like Indonesia, which enshrined a budget-deficit cap equal to 3% of GDP in law. When the rule was broken during the pandemic, investors broadly accepted the assurance that it would be reinstated when the emergency was past.On debt vulnerabilities and other metrics, Asian economies generally rank the strongest in Bloomberg’s emerging-market scorecard.Trade has given Asia an extra buffer throughout the pandemic, as its exports bounced back relatively fast. South Korea and Taiwan, the key suppliers to a tight global market for semiconductors, are in an especially strong position.For some analysts, those economies -- where per-capita economic output is around $30,000 -- are too wealthy to be considered emerging markets anyway. That highlights a wider problem with the term, which evolved to describe a class of financial assets and doesn’t capture distinctions between economies and societies.The group known as Emerging Asia often includes giant but poorer economies like India, as well as much richer ones like Taiwan. Others on the widely-used MSCI EM Asia index include Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines and Thailand -- as well as China, which many in the financial world place in a category of its own.‘Sigh of Relief’Whatever the labels, the proximity of the world’s fastest-growing large economy has been a boon for neighbors, especially in the pandemic.Around the middle of last year, many Asian companies “were facing sudden stops in orders and liquidity,” said Taimur Baig, chief economist at DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore. “As China’s factories began to hum, a sigh of relief percolated through Asia’s elaborate supply chain.”Many emerging-market investors already treat Asia differently. Ian Samson, a fund manager at Fidelity International in Hong Kong, says it’s in effect a separate bloc.“In terms of the fundamentals -- whether it’s structural growth or fiscal balances -- Asia has been outperforming Latin America” and emerging markets in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, Samson said. Asia is especially dominant in emerging-market equities, accounting for the large majority of total investment, he said -- partly because it has bigger companies, and partly because more of them are in high-growth sectors like technology.Paul Sandhu at BNP Paribas Asset Management sees Asian out-performance continuing “for the foreseeable future” -- and he points to strengths that go beyond economics to include governance. In the early phases of the pandemic, Asia “handled it better than any other economy, whether in emerging markets or developed markets,” he said.To be sure, Asia has its share of problems. Beyond India’s deadly second wave of Covid-19 infections, there have been resurgences in Thailand and the Philippines too, while vaccination campaigns are lagging.Other economic challenges include escalating private debt and longer-run question marks over central-bank independence -- issues that trouble some developed economies too. And the growing tensions between the U.S. and China create headaches for countries seeking to stay on good terms with both.Still, the region’s economies generally have more room for error than most of their counterparts, according to Baig at DBS.“No emerging economy in Asia at present is characterized by debt sustainability concerns or a dramatic collapse in investor sentiment, which seems to be the case in a number of emerging economies elsewhere,” said Baig.(Updates to add Indonesia and Thailand foreign currency reserves in seventh paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

Fueling Endless Rally Is Raft of Real-Time Reopening Data

From Yahoo Finance Apr 30, 2021

(Bloomberg) -- Amusement parks tickets. Business-class plane reservations. Drive-thru traffic at McDonald’s.Now more than ever, investors are leaning on real-time data to buttress their bullishness on the U.S. stock market. They’re sifting through an ever-widening array of snapshots at a time when some government figures are being distorted by year-ago comparisons to an economy hobbled by a recession.Of course, no one needs esoteric datasets to see that the U.S. -- once the epicenter of the pandemic -- is on the mend, notes Paul Hickey, co-founder of Bespoke Investment Group. Deaths are down, vaccinations are up and consumers are spending again. But with the snap-back recovery in the books and stocks perched at the highest valuations in two decades, the hunt is on for indicators to fine-tune the bull case -- or uncover an early warning signal to get out before being blindsided by a crash.The following is a rundown of what market pros say they’re watching.Planes, Trains and Job PostingsSit Investment Associates’s Bryce Doty is scouring travel websites. He checks out destination hotels, resorts, Disney theme parks -- anything to gauge mid-summer availabilities. If he’s not looking at those sites, he sees how long it’s taking ships to unload goods on the West Coast, where there are backlogs. Shipments of modal rail cars are another metric -- it’s a proxy for how many retail goods are on the move across the country. All have helped the Minneapolis-based senior portfolio manager frame his investment strategy over the past year.Doty has also looked at employment ads and the ratio of part-time versus full-time positions. Recently, he’s seen the shift to permanent positions “explode.” He’s kept casual tabs on help-wanted signs at stores. “We are constantly on the lookout for these types of real-time indicators.”JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, monitors the percentage of overall flight bookings made up by business travelers. That’s because the number of vacationers could drop once the back-to-school season comes around, whereas business travelers could be year-round.“To me, that’s going to be the ultimate sign that we’ve turned the corner,” he said in an interview.Getting Back to Pre-Pandemic RoutinesThe number of per-day passengers through TSA checkpoints has increased, averaging 1.4 million over the past month. Though that’s still down from 2019 levels, the numbers have been steadily climbing -- they averaged about 850,000 in December, for instance, when many traveled for the holidays. Compared to 2019, daily restaurant bookings through OpenTable have risen since the start of the year, though they haven’t yet fully recovered.To Jeff Schulze at ClearBridge Investments, such data is useful because it allows him to see the extent to which consumers are getting back to pre-pandemic routines. The investment strategist says everything from restaurant reservations and the number of passengers boarding planes to Google’s mobility data gives a glimpse into how people are engaging with the services side of the economy. Investors will be beholden to these statistics as long as the virus remains a threat to the economy -- but a drop in cases will be a catalyst for growth.“The data continues to surprise economists, and I think if this trend can continue, you’re going to continue to see a market that goes higher into the summer,” Schulze said. “It’s trending very much in the right direction, mobility measures are moving in the right direction.”More Drive-Thrus, Less LoungewearChris O’Keefe, managing director at Logan Capital Management, says he’s analyzing announcements from consumer discretionary companies including McDonald’s and Nike to gauge lifestyle changes as people become more comfortable leaving their homes.“The pent-up demand is phenomenal, everyone wants to get out there and go out to eat and go travel,” he said. “You can feel the jail break as people are getting out there and doing more.”For McDonald’s, he’s looking at drive-thru traffic, which he expects to increase as people go back to work, as well as the number of diners inside its restaurants. “People are still slow to move to that but the trend is accelerating,” O’Keefe said.He’s also watching Nike closely for signs that customers are buying more traditional gym clothing and shoes -- and less loungewear.With cases falling, cyclical industries -- including travel, hotel and airline stocks -- could “run big,” according to Fundstrat Global Advisors’s Tom Lee. Small-cap stocks as well as sectors like energy could also benefit. “This is a significant bullish equity development,” he wrote in a recent note.Taking CreditCredit-card use is rebounding strongly, too. For the week ending April 24, total card spending based on Bank of America credit and debit cards was up 45% year over year and 20% on a two-year basis, the bank’s economists Michelle Meyer and Anna Zhou wrote in a recent note.That data is useful in gauging consumer activity, said Tom Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments. Though the spending stats aren’t the sole data point he and his team consider, they do have an influence on their decisions.“People using credit cards -- there’s just so much more of that happening,” he said. “People are putting stuff on their credit cards -- you have a good base of data from that.”Traditional IndicatorsMore traditional economic indicators also point to a pick-up in the economic rebound. U.S. economic growth accelerated in the first three months of the year as personal consumption -- the biggest part of the economy -- surged an annualized 10.7%, the second-fastest pace since the 1960s.Data out Friday showed personal incomes soared in March by the most in monthly records back to 1946, powered by the latest round of pandemic-relief payments.Applications for regular state jobless benefits are hovering at a 13-month low, and U.S. retail sales posted the second-largest monthly advance on record last month as stimulus checks and a broader reopening of the economy fueled consumer spending.Meantime, a slew of factory surveys point to a rapidly improving manufacturing sector, including the Institute for Supply Management’s factory index which jumped to its highest level in 37 years in March.“We’ve seen very substantial progress in the vaccines in many places, we see economies reopening, we see how much pent-up demand there is,” Randy Frederick, vice president of trading and derivatives for Charles Schwab, said by phone. “That’s a good thing and those things are relevant -- and what we’ve seen the market do is extend its timeline for moving ahead of the economy. The market always moves ahead of the economy.”(Updates with personal income figure in “Traditional Indicators” section.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
