  1. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , March 18, 2018 Economic & Market News Reuters: US job growth likely rose at a brisk clip in February and probably pushed down the unemployment rate to more than 17-year low of 4%, but wage gains are expected to have slowed after 3 straight months of strong increases. The closely watched employment report from the Labor Department, is expected to underscore the economy’s strength and bolster expectations that the Fed’s will raise its interest rate forecasts for 2018. The Fed is currently anticipating 3 rate hikes this year. According to Reuters, nonfarm payrolls probably increased by 200,000 jobs last month amid unseasonably mild weather, after a similar gain in January. That would be above the monthly average of 181,000 jobs in 2017 and 100,000 jobs per month needed to keep up with growth in the working-age population. Average hourly earnings are forecasted to rise 0.2% in February. Average hourly earnings rebounded strongly after a surprise drop in October, rising 0.3% in November. That was followed by an increase of 0.4% and 0.3% in December and January respectively. Last month’s expected moderation is seen lowering the YoY increase in average hourly earnings to 2.8% from 2.9% in January, the largest rise since June 2009. Zawya: According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), global oil demand is expected to pick up this year but supply is growing at a faster pace, leading to a rise in inventories in the first quarter of 2018. The IEA raised its forecast for oil demand this year to 99.3 million bpd from 97.8 million bpd in 2017. Commercial oil inventories in industrialised OECD nations rose in January for the first time in 7 months to 2.871 billion barrels, 53 million barrels above their 5-year average. The January increase of 18 million barrels over the December inventory level was roughly half the size of rises normally seen at this time of year. With supply from Venezuela clearly vulnerable to an accelerated decline, without any compensatory change from other producers, it is possible that the Latin American country could be the final element that tips the market decisively into deficit. Assuming no change in the OPEC output for the rest of the year, the IEA expects a small increase in the OECD inventories in the first quarter of 2018 with declines after that. The agency expected supply from the nonOPEC to grow by 1.8 million bpd in 2018 to 97.9 million bpd, led by the US, where crude output was forecast to rise by 1.3 million bpd during 2018 to more than 11 million bpd by the end of the year. The OPEC crude output fell in February to 32.1 million bpd, led by Venezuela and the United Arab Emirates. The IEA raised its estimate for demand for OPEC oil to 32.4 million bpd for 2018 from last month's forecast of 32.3 million bpd. Al Masah Capital: Geo-political tensions and trade tariffs were the main focus of last week with investors being cautious due to news flow of the White House looking to impose tariffs on the Chinese imports. Oil responded positively to the news with crude oil ending the week at USD 66.21 per barrel, up +1.0% on a weekly basis, while WTI ended the week at USD62.34 per barrel. Most of the regional indices ended the week on a positive note with Egypt leading the pack among its peers with gains of 3.2% adding to its YTD performance to reach 13.2%, followed by Saudi Arabia with gains of 2.4% adding to its YTD performance to be 7.2% mostly driven by the expectation of a possible inclusion into the emerging market index. UAE markets ended the week positively with DFM rising by +1.3% and ADSM gaining +0.3% over the week. On the losing team, Bahrain was the worst performer with losses of -1.1%, followed by Oman -0.7% and Kuwait -0.3%. Moving forward, the regional markets will be driven by domestic developments coupled with sentiments seen within the global markets.

  2. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , March 18, 2018 Economic & Market News (continued) Zawya: According to the Institute of International Finance (IIF), the UAE remained the main destination of FDI inflows at approximately USD 11 billion in 2017, accounting for 22% of total FDI in the MENA region. The UAE's friendlier business environment, excellent infrastructure, relatively diversified economy, and political stability makes it the most preferred investment destinations in the world. Economic performance is likely to improve in 2018 with firming oil prices, an improvement in global trade, and the expected easing pace of fiscal adjustment. IIF expects non-hydrocarbon real GDP growth to pick up from 2% in 2017 to 2.7% in 2018 and growth in credit to the private sector is likely to accelerate from 1.7% in 2017 to 4% in 2018. The sizeable fiscal consolidation efforts of the past 3 years, with more emphasis recently on non-oil revenue measures (including the introduction of the VAT), would put the fiscal stance on a more sustainable footing over the medium term. The IIF expects a decrease in the UAE non-resident capital inflows from USD 40 billion in 2017 to USD 31 billion in 2018 due to less fiscal financing need. However, a significant increase is seen in corporate issuance in 2018 due mainly to the large refinancing need of loans and bonds that mature this year. The IIF expects GCC resident capital outflows, including change in official reserves and errors and omissions, to increase from USD 136 billion in 2017 to USD 210 billion in 2018. Zawya: According to OECD, the economy will see its strongest growth in 7 years in 2018 due to a rebound in trade and investment, while also warning a trade war could threaten the improved outlook. Updating its outlook for G20 economies, the OECD raised its global growth forecast for both 2018 and 2019 to 3.9% the highest since 2011 from a previous estimate of 3.6% for both years. Further stating that the economy is getting back to normal circumstances as seen in the last 10 years. The raised forecast was in part due to expectations that US tax cuts would boost the world's biggest economy. Rebounding global business investment would keep the global trade growth at about 5% this year. However, it said the global economy was vulnerable to an eruption of trade tensions after the US President’s administration slapped import tariffs on steel and aluminium which could obviously threaten the recovery. But it is believed as a significant risk, and it will not materialise because it would be fairly damaging. Among other hot economies, stronger growth in France and Germany boosted the outlook for the broader euro zone to 2.3% for this year and 2.1% in 2019. Previously, the OECD had forecast 2.1% and 1.9% respectively. Zawya: The projected rise in interest rate will boost profitability of the GCC banks. In a short term, the profitability is seen positive because most of the countries in GCC have large non-interest bearing deposits which mean that the impact of cost of funding will be very moderate. In the medium term, a more material increase in interest rates that will have negative impact on NPL ratios. Analysts expect that the US Fed’s could increase interest rates by 3-4 times this year by 25 bps each time. And most of the companies have seen their profits decrease because the cost of borrowing has increased. In the UAE, there is a fierce competition and more banks tend to focus on retail and blue-chip companies rather than the SME’s. According to Moody's, NPLs will remain low, averaging 3-4 % in 2018 due to modest economic conditions, higher borrowing costs, rising taxes and subsidy cuts will add pressure on the regional banking industry. Provisions will continue to rise to 20 to 30% of pre-provision income. The Global ratings agency further expects lending growth to pick up to 4% in 2018 and accelerate further next year after 1% contraction in 2017 due to a lower credit demand and the GCC economic growth will remain modest with ample liquidity but the reliance on government funding is on the rise.
