Source: AmFunds Management Berhad Fund Performance (as at 30 June 2017) Cumulative performance over the period (%) 25.00 20.00 15.00 10.00 Source: AmFunds Management Berhad Manager's Commentary The second US FOMC (“Fed”) rate hike in 2017 was fully expected by most investors. The Fed also maintained its guidance for a gradual rate hike on the Fed Funds Rate (“FFR”) with median assessment of FFR at 1.375% by end2017, 2.125% by end-2018 and 2.875% by end-2019. More significantly, the Fed has also for the first time communicated its intention to begin the normalization of the Fed’s balance sheet size. The reduction is expected to begin sometime this year with a cap of USD10b per month (USD6b Treasuries and USD4b agency + Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”)) and will rise by USD10b on a quarterly basis to reach a USD50b cap per month (or USD600b per annum) within a year. As the FOMC decision was widely anticipated, investor’s reaction was generally muted. Nevertheless, with the European Central Bank (“ECB”) as well as Bank of England (“BOE”) talking up on the possibility of an end to the current dovish monetary policy, most investors are expected to exercise caution as we head into the 2H2017. Back in Malaysia, the worst of foreign selling on the bond market seems to be over. With two consecutive months of net foreign buying in April (RM6.0b) and May (RM10.0b) and no chunky MGS maturities until August 2017, there was a period of calm and strength as both the Malaysian bond market performance and Ringgit strengthened hand in hand. Indeed, the turnaround was also evident from the increase in BNM’s FX reserves to its highest YearTo-Date (“YTD”). Nonetheless, we opine that the period of calm and reprieve for the market is likely to turn less certain moving forward as local investors turn cautious as well due to more hawkish tone from the Fed and ECB, the possibility of an election in 2H2017 and speculation of an early OPR hike. While we opine that there is no pressure for BNM to hike rates in 2017, market would likely price in an earlier possibility if Malaysia’s economy continues to perform ahead of expectations and/or the hawkish sentiments spillover to our peers.
