  1. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , April 01, 2018 Economic & Market News Reuters: The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits rose just marginally last week, suggesting strong job growth in March that should underpin consumer spending. According to the Labor Department, the initial claims for state unemployment benefits increased 3,000 to a seasonally adjusted 229,000 for the week ended March 17, 2018. Claims dropped to 210,000 during the week ended Feb. 24, which was the lowest level since December 1969. Reuters had forecast claims dipping to 225,000 in the latest week. Claims have now been below the 300,000 threshold, which is associated with a strong labor market, for 159 straight weeks. That is the longest such stretch since 1970, when the labor market was much smaller. The labor market is considered to be near or at full employment. The jobless rate is at a 17-year low of 4.1%, not too far from the Fed’s forecast of 3.8% by the end of this year. Prices of singlefamily homes surged in January. Consumer spending could also get a lift from rising home prices, which are helping to boost household wealth. According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), the house price index jumped a seasonally adjusted 0.8% in January after increasing 0.4% in December. Home prices surged 7.3% in the 12 months through January. House price inflation is being fueled by a chronic shortage of properties available for sale. Zawya: Approximately 750,000 jobs are expected to be created in Saudi Arabia and the United States following the signing of landmark agreements worth a total of more than USD 400 billion in 10 key sectors during the ongoing visit of Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman, deputy premier and minister of defence. These vital sectors including defence and oil are identified for attracting investments as part of a vibrant economic partnership program in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. The Kingdom and US have signed 46 deals in these sectors, of which 13 are in the oil and gas sector and six each in the defence and technology sectors. There are seven MoU in the health sector, four in manufacturing, three each in mining and petrochemicals, two in investment, and one each in the aviation and energy sectors. More than one fourth of these investments go to the defence sector with an investment of USD 128 billion. The total value of deals signed in the petrochemical sector reached USD72 billion while the deals in the oil and gas sector amounted to a total of USD 54 billion. In the investment sector, the total investment would account for USD 150 billion whereas the MoU in the aviation sector is for buying 16 wide body aircraft with values ranging between USD 2 billion and USD 5 billion. There will be USD 5 billion investments in the technology sector, USD 6 billion in mining, USD 3 billion in health, USD 12 billion in energy, and USD 400 million in manufacturing. Al Masah Capital: Global markets ended the week on a positive note, which was mainly driven by the ease in the geo-political scene. On the regional front, FTSE positive decision granting the inclusion of Tadawul in the EM index was the breaking news during the week; however, the news was already priced in by investors so there were no major surprises in the stocks’ performance. On the winning team, three out of the seven regional indices ended the week on a positive note, with Egypt leading the pack among its peers recording gains of +2.3%. Saudi Arabia and Abu Dhabi came in next with gains of +0.4% and +0.2%, respectively. On the losing team, Dubai was the worst performer with losses of -1.3%, followed by Bahrain -1.2%, Oman -0.6% and Kuwait -0.4%. Most of the regional indices ended the first quarter of 2018 on a positive note, led by the Egyptian market with gains of +16.2%, followed by Saudi Arabia +8.9%. For the coming period, investors’ focus will continue to be on individual markets in the region with potential opportunities and expected flow of foreign funds.

  2. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , April 01, 2018 Economic & Market News (continued) Zawya: The residential tenants in Dubai are having it good as rental declines continue in 2018 on the back of deliveries flooding the market. Dubai residential rents decreased by 0.27% in February 2018 and 7.06% YoY. Apartment rents dropped 0.05% in February MoM and 6.5% YoY. In the apartment segment, International City and Dubai Silicon Oasis have witnessed the highest drop in rents in the last year, with rents dropping by 13% and 10%, respectively. Villa rents in Dubai registered a decrease of 1.6% MoM in February 2018 and 10.22% YoY. Areas such as Al Furjan and Jumeirah Golf Estates have witnessed significant rental declines in the last year, with rents declining by 14% and 15%, respectively. Low oil prices and a high rate of handovers in 2017 have put immense pressure on rents as supply is currently outpacing demand. Following the footsteps of Dubai, rents in Abu Dhabi have also been declining over the last 2 years. Apartment rents registered a 1.12% MoM decrease in February and an 11.08% YoY decrease. Villa rents decreased 0.92% MoM and 9.49% YoY. In the apartment segment, areas such as Al Reef Downtown and Al Reem Island noticed the steepest decline in rents in the last year, with rents dropping by 15% and 13%, respectively. Reuters: Euro zone businesses rounded off the first quarter of 2018 with their slowest growth in over a year and much weaker than expected as new business took another hit from a stubbornly strong Euro. According to the HIS Markit’s PMI, there is also a risk the slowdown could be widespread as growth rates in Germany and France both eased back this month, with German business confidence waning. While the Euro zone’s racing economy may have taken its feet off the pedals, growth remained strong. The IHS Markit’s data pointed to a robust first-quarter GDP growth of 0.7%, a touch faster than the 0.6% rate predicted in a Reuter’s poll. However, the indicator did slump to 55.3 this month, far below all forecasts in a Reuter’s poll which had predicted a more modest dip to 56.7 from February’s final reading of 57.1. Even though the decline in the composite PMI seems quite dramatic, the immediate impact on the economy remains limited as the data indicates a slowing of momentum, but still corresponds to healthy growth rates. Export orders weakened quite markedly as well, a first sign that the stronger Euro and global political uncertainty are dampening some of the Euro zone growth potential. Since the start of the year the Euro is up more than 2% against the Dollar and is expected to strengthen further making the bloc’s goods and services more expensive for foreign buyers. Zawya: According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), the direct contribution of travel and tourism to the UAE economy is forecast to rise by 5% to AED 72.6 billion in 2018, and will hit AED 108.4 billion in 10 years, reflecting the vibrant growth potential the sector offers. In 2017, the sector had a direct contribution of 5.1% of the UAE total GDP at AED 69.1 billion, and is expected to account for 4.9% of the GDP by 2028, at an annual growth of 4.1%. On other hand, the total contribution, including wider effects from investment, the supply chain and induced income impacts, is expected to grow by 4.9% to AED 161.6 billion to account for 11.2% of GDP in 2018. It is forecast to surge by 3.8% per annum to AED 234.2 billion by 2028, contributing to 10.6% of GDP. In terms of job generation, the sector also plays a major role. In 2017, it directly supported 300,000 jobs, or 4.9% of total employment, which is expected to rise by 4.1% in 2018 and surge by 2.4% to 396,000 jobs or 5.6% of the total jobs in 2028. However, in 2017, the total contribution of the sector in employment generation was 9.5% or 585,500 jobs, expected to rise by 3.2% in 2018 to 604,500 jobs, rising by 1.8% per annum to 720,000 in 2028, accounting for 10.2% of the nation's total employment.
