  1. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , May 06, 2018 Economic & Market News Bloomberg: The Federal Reserve officials left interest rates unchanged, acknowledging inflation is close to target without indicating any intention to veer from their gradual tightening of monetary policy. According to the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee, inflation on a 12-month basis is expected to run near the committee’s symmetric 2% objective over the medium term. The committee expects that the economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant further gradual increases in the federal funds rate. Officials have signalled their willingness to allow inflation to exceed their 2% goal somewhat by adding a reference to the “symmetric” nature of their target. The FOMC also noted the weakness in growth in the first quarter, removing a reference in the March statement that the economic outlook had “strengthened in recent months.” They balanced that out by noting strong growth in business investment. US economic growth cooled in the first quarter to an annualized pace of 2.3% after averaging higher than 3% in the previous three quarters. The decision to maintain the federal funds target range at 1.5% to 1.75% was a unanimous 8-0. Zawya: According to the IMF, the economies of Gulf Arab oil exporters are likely to recover this year, but at a slightly slower pace than previously expected, while a rapid build-up of debt in the region is a concern. The IMF now expects growth in the GCC economies to accelerate to 1.9% this year and by 2.6% in 2019, largely due to a continued recovery in non-oil activity as fiscal consolidation slows. Among the region's oil importers, the outlook for Egypt has improved relative to the October 2017 forecast with growth now projected to rise to 5.2% in the fiscal year 2018 from 4.2% last year and accelerate further to 5.5% in fiscal year 2019, aided by an increase in gas production. The fiscal break-even oil price for Saudi Arabia and the UAE at USD 87.9 and USD 71.5 a barrel this year, respectively, will keep their public finances in the red. Only Kuwait and Qatar are expected to show fiscal surpluses this year and next. Although public debt remains manageable for most regional oil exporters, the rapid build-up of debt in many of them is a cause for concern. Debt has increased by an average of 10% points of GDP each year since 2013, with countries financing large fiscal deficits through a combination of draw downs of buffers where available, and increased domestic and foreign borrowing. The slower pace of fiscal consolidation, weak growth prospects, and the possibility of higher financing costs due to the expected monetary policy tightening in advanced economies are likely to continue to drive debt levels upward. Al Masah Capital: US markets ended last week on a buoyant note, mainly driven by the new jobs report and unemployment rates that showed a decrease to 3.9%. Oil prices joined the wave, with crude ending the week at USD 74.87 per barrel and WTI increasing by 2.4% W-o-W. On the regional front, most of the indices ended the week on a negative note, with the exception of Kuwait and Oman. For the week, Dubai came in as the worst performer with losses of 3.1%, followed by Abu Dhabi with a negative performance of 3.0%. Egypt and Saudi Arabia were down by 2.9% and 1.7% , respectively, over the same period. Kuwait was the best performing index among its peers, ending the week up by 0.6%, followed by Oman with gains of 0.1%, while Bahrain remained unchanged for the week. The coming period will likely witness subdued trading volumes with markets’ anticipation for Ramadan and any company specific news that might act as a catalyst for the stocks’ performances.

  2. Weekly Investment Report Sunday , May 06, 2018 Economic & Market News (continued) Zawya: According to Emirates NBD the PMI for April for Egypt pointed to a stabilisation in business conditions in the non-oil private sector. This reflected output stabilisation and growth of total new orders. On the price front, input cost inflation eased to the weakest since May 2015, while charge inflation was at a four-month low. The Emirates NBD PMI for Egypt broached the 50.0 level for only the second time in 31 months in April, indicating that the non-oil private sector is finally starting to contribute to the positive growth story underway in the country. The Egyptian non-oil private sector firms continued to signal lower payroll numbers at the start of the second quarter. Where staffing levels decreased, there were reports of staff either retiring or leaving in search of better job opportunities. Companies raised their input buying for the seventh consecutive month in April. Although modest, the rate of growth quickened to the fastest since January. Meanwhile, input inventories declined for the fifth month in succession in April. Finally, the level of business sentiment towards the 12-month outlook for output strengthened in April from March’s recent low. Reuters: According to the European Central Bank, the lending to euro zone households and companies accelerated in March while a broader indicator of money circulating in the currency bloc, which often foreshadows future activity, slowed sharply. Lending to non-financial corporation’s picked up to 3.3% in March from an upwardly revised 3.2% a month earlier while household lending growth increase to 3.0% from 2.9%. Buying around 2.5 trillion euro worth of debt in the past three years, the ECB has labored away to depress borrowing costs and kick start lending, all in the hope of rekindling growth and inflation. While its efforts have mostly paid off, growth has appeared to soften in the recent months, raising concerns that the ECB could struggle to remove stimulus and may need to provide support for the economy longer than markets now expect. Lending also remains well below its pre-crisis mark, indicating that the banking sector is still far from healthy. The annual growth rate of the M3 measure of money supply, seen by some as a precursor of the economic activity, slowed sharply to 3.7% in March from 4.2% a month earlier, trailing expectations for 4.1%. Zawya: Fitch's proprietary SRM assigns Kuwait a score equivalent to a rating of 'AA' on the Long-Term Foreign-Currency (LT FC) IDR scale. Kuwait's key credit strengths are its exceptionally strong fiscal and external metrics and, at a forecast USD 56/bbl, one of the lowest fiscal breakeven Brent oil prices among Fitch-rated oil exporters. A surplus of around KWD300 million (around 0.7% of GDP) in FY18/19 and FY19/20, is expected under baseline Brent oil price assumption of USD57.5/ bbl. The government is making slow progress on its reform programme aimed at balancing public finances, improving the business environment and boosting the role of the private sector as a provider of economic growth and jobs for Kuwaiti nationals. It is focusing its efforts on regulatory and administrative measures that do not require approval from parliament, which in turn is trying to minimise the immediate costs to its constituents of any reform. A non-oil growth of around 3.5% is expected in 2018-2019 amid continued growth of government spending on wages and investment. Infrastructure spending will continue at a steady pace, supporting the broader private sector. A private credit growth of 4% is expected in 2018-2019, and the banking sector would be well placed to extend more credit, being adequately capitalised, liquid and profitable.
