  1. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , March 05, 2017 Economic & Market News Reuters: According to the US Department of labor, the number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell to near a 44-year low last week, pointing to further tightening of the labor market even as economic growth appears to have remained moderate in the first quarter. The stronger labor market and rising inflation could push the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this month. Several Fed officials have in recent days suggested the US central bank could increase borrowing costs soon. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped 19,000 to a seasonally adjusted 223,000 for the week ended Feb. 25, the lowest level since March 1973. It was the 104th straight week that claims remained below 300,000, a threshold associated with a healthy labor market. That is the longest stretch since 1970, when the labor market was much smaller. It is now at or close to full employment, with an unemployment rate of 4.8%. Economists had forecast new claims for unemployment benefits dipping to 243,000 in the latest week. The government reported that the personal consumption expenditures price index jumped 1.9% in the 12 months through January, the biggest gain since October 2012. The PCE price index increased 1.6% in December. Zawya: As per the recent data released by the Saudi central bank, Saudi Arabia's economy is still struggling to gain momentum amid low oil prices. The IMF in January slashed its forecast for Saudi economic growth this year to 0.4% from 2%. The government says gross domestic product will likely expand by more than 1%. The Net foreign assets, though still above USD 500 billion, are shrinking as the government uses savings to plug a budget deficit that reached USD 79 billion last year, USD 107 billion if delayed payments to contractors are included. With reserves falling by as much as 3% a month during the worst of the oil rout, the government turned to domestic and then international bond markets to slow the pace. Amid the economic uncertainty, demand for imports financed by commercial lenders is also falling. The value of new letters of credit opened to bring in items including food, cars, clothing and building materials dropped by more than 20% in January compared to a year earlier. Al Masah Capital: Global markets started March in an upbeat mood, US markets reaching all-time highs with the Dow breaking the 21,000 points and the S&P500 slightly under the 2,400 level, all affected by President Trump's speech to the Congress. Signals released at the end of the week from the Fed indicate that a rate hike by mid-march is to be expected. Oil continues to consolidate in its current trading range, ending the week just below the USD 56 mark. Regional markets will be looking to put a tepid February behind them and go back to the buying enthusiasm of January, however for the first few trading days of March, the main regional indices had a negative performance with only Egypt ending in the green by + 0.57%. Qatar was the worst performer with a 1.9% slide, followed by UAE markets with Dubai witnessing a negative performance of 1.4% and Abu Dhabi by 1.2% respectively over the week. Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman all went down by 0.6% each, while Saudi market was almost flat with a modest 0.4% down over the week. Cautiousness may remain a key sentiment for investors this coming week, with regional markets possibly witnessing a range bound trading week with thin volumes.

  2. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , March 05, 2017 Economic & Market News (continued) Zawya: According to the Strategy&, formerly Booz & Company, GCC healthcare spending is expected to reach USD 69 billion by 2020, offering significant potential for R&D, thus requiring enhanced research funding from sovereigns and strengthened linkage between the private sector and governments. Although the GCC governments and private companies are making significant investments in the sector to improve the range of medical offerings and services available, the region’s R&D in the healthcare market is currently below international levels due to myriad reasons. There are insufficient number of healthcare researchers due to the limited number of post-graduate medical education institutions and consequently not enough researchers being produced or receiving training on the ground. The demand for new hospitals, clinics and medical services is growing, and the GCC governments are expected to spend and invest significantly more in the sector by 2020, accompanied by governments enhancing research funding and a strengthening of linkages between universities, the private sector and governments. The report highlighted the increasing number of healthcare research institutions being established in the GCC, such as the Al Jalila Foundation Research Center in the UAE, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Saudi Arabia, and Sidra Hospital and Research Center in Qatar. Last month, Kuwait-based economic think-tank Global had said the GCC offers immense opportunities, especially under public private partnership model, in the healthcare sector, which is slated to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 12.5% up to 2020. Reuters: According to a UK-based financial service company IHS Markit, Euro-area output rose to the highest level in almost six years in February as growth in the region’s top four economies accelerated. A composite PMI climbed to 56.0 from 54.4 in January, putting the currency bloc on track for quarterly growth of 0.6%. The reading is in line with economist forecasts and a previous flash estimate. Output was led by manufacturing. A gauge for services activity also strengthened. The final PMI numbers paint a bright picture of a euro-zone economy starting to fire on all cylinders. Strengthening growth in Germany, France, Italy and Spain suggest an increasingly sustainable and robust-looking upturn. The ECB has decided to continue buying assets until at least the end of 2017, supporting the region’s firming recovery amid political risks. While inflation, currently at 2%, and a slew of economic indicators have signaled the economy might be more robust than projected, ECB President has pointed to underlying weakness as evidence that stimulus is still necessary. Reuters: According to the latest data compiled by Euromonitor International, the UAE consumers spent a staggering USD 75.8 billion (AED 278 billion) on housing in 2016, which is roughly twice the project cost of Dubai’s Business Bay, a bustling district envisioned to have more than 200 towers. The accommodation spend, which also covers housing maintenance, repair and utility costs, constitutes nearly half (41%) of consumers’ total expenditures for the year, which reached USD 182.7 billion (AED 670 billion), up by 14.8% from 2015. With the UAE population estimated to be at 9.2 million in 2015, each person in the UAE spends a little over AED 30,000 a year on rent. By the end of 2017, the total figure is forecast to grow by an additional AED 8 billion. The cost of renting apartments and villas in some parts of the UAE, particularly Dubai, has been on a decline as a result of dampened demand amid low oil prices.
