Morning Commentary Overview: Energy commodities are lower on the day after an overnight surge, with all commodity

groups lower on the session. US equity index futures are off overnight lows but point to a decline of

nearly 1% at the open, with rates slightly higher and credit under pressure as the dollar rallies. Crypto

prices are modestly higher over the last 24 hours. ADP payrolls estimates for September beat estimates

this morning, and there’s nothing else on the US data slate. DC continues to discuss a debt ceiling raise.

Global Economic Scorecard

RBNZ: Overnight, the Kiwis took off from the zero lower bound, joining Norway and a number of

emerging markets central banks in their hikes off the lowest policy rates on record globally. The policy

committee also guided “further removal of monetary stimulus is expected over time” as “capacity pres-

sures remain evident” and are “seen feeding through to inflation”. Despite the hike, NZDUSD is having

tis second-worst session of the past 8 weeks, down 1%, while AUDNZD (a purer-play on the RBNZ’s im-

pact that removes the global dollar impact from the cross) is at its highest level since July and having its

second-best session since the first day of June. Kiwi rates were little-changed. This is an excellent ex-

ample of a positioning-led change creating a seemingly paradoxical market reaction to a catalyst, not a

super-dovish assessment of what the RBNZ said last night.

APAC Markets: Chinese property developer Fantasia defaulted on a $200mm bond that was due Mon-

day, fueling more concern about Chinese property activity beyond Evergrande; developer Sinic Hold-

ings group also missed an interest payment on local debt in recent days. Onshore China remains closed

but Hong Kong was down 0.6% last night with H-shares (Hong Kong-listed onshore companies) down

1.2%. Japan continued to drop with the TOPIX down 8 days in a row for the worst 8 day loss since the

COVID shock (-7.1%). Korea remains in freefall with the KOSPI down 1.8%; that index has fallen 6.1%

over the last 5 trading days to the lowest close of the year. Australia, India, and Taiwan were all lower

but Indonesia surged 2% with Singapore and the Philippines also higher. Singapore-listed iron ore has-

n’t moved much during the Chinese holiday, while the dollar was broadly higher versus local FX.

Europe Markets: It’s been a dramatic day for energy in Europe. Front-month natural gas futures in the

UK (for December delivery) traded up as much as 39% to more than 400 GBP per contract which is

equivalent to more than $70 natural gas in the Henry Hub contract traded in the US. For context, that

contract trades for around $6.20 currently, illustrating the massive shock. The domestic US natural gas-

LNG global demand arbitrage is wide open right now and as we noted in The Closer last night (link), US

LNG terminals are sending more than $2bn of natural gas abroad per month. That number will only rise

as incomplete LNG terminal projects come online in coming years. Since mid-session highs, prices have

moved sharply lower and front-month natural gas is now down in the UK futures market. The reversal

came following headlines from Russian President Putin, who appears to be setting the stage for a large

release of natural gas supplies to Europe with commentary today arguing “European authorities made

mistakes” in how they have managed supply like the pending Nordstream 2 pipeline from Russia.

The STOXX 6600 is down 1.5% with every group lower and 6 groups down over 2%. Personal Care/Drug

Stores/Groceries are least-hit, down 55 bps, while Travel & Leisure is down 3% and Retail is down 2.5%.

Yields are slightly higher, with cash EUR high yield getting hit very hard. EURUSD is down 51 bps to new

52-week lows while GBPUSD is reversing some of its rally from the past week.

Overnight Data: German factory orders fell almost 8% in August as the country’s manufacturing sector

staggered under the painful effects of auto supply chain shocks. While capital goods led the decline,

autos were the biggest driver with ripple effects across the Mittelstand. We also note battery order

volumes bounced after a few huge declines, though their growth has dropped after a spectacular run in

2020. In Sweden, factory order volumes were down a third consecutive month, and monthly GDP esti-

mates completely whiffed. Eurozone retail sales also missed estimates in a broadly weaker result for

European data than economists had been expecting, but they are still running above the pre-COVID

trend of growth. Finally, MBA mortgage purchase applications updated this morning continue to sug-

gest total home sales will bottom in the next couple of months if they haven’t already.
