Market Review continue to access the trading expertise of Fash Golchin ("FG") via an
and Outlook initial allocation of approximately $300 million to a new fund, Brevan Howard
FG Macro Master Fund Limited (the "FG Macro Fund"). The FG Macro Fund will
also provide external investors with the opportunity to invest in a fund that
is directly managed by FG, whilst giving FG the potential to manage
additional external assets without the need to manage two pools of capital.
Immediately following the Fund's investment in the FG Macro Fund, it is
anticipated that the Fund's holdings in other Brevan Howard-managed funds
will be approximately 75% of the Fund's assets.

US
Economic momentum was well maintained in August. Employment rose briskly, the
unemployment rate remained at 3.9%, and wages jumped by more than expected.
Real GDP growth in Q3 was tracking somewhere above 3% at an annual rate,
after having surged 4.2% in Q2. Consumption and investment are pacing solid
growth, with wide swings in trade and inventories partly reflecting timing
shifts related to the imposition of tariffs. The latest data on manufacturing
point to vibrant activity. Although there are many anecdotes about how
tariffs are disrupting supply chains and raising prices, there is almost no
evidence of such disruptions at the macro level. Meanwhile, housing and
automotive, two traditionally interest-rate sensitive sectors, are in the
doldrums.
Headline and core personal consumption expenditure ("PCE") inflation over the
last year were near 2% in July. After having moved up around the start of the
year, inflation has settled into a channel close to the Federal Reserve's
("Fed") 2% target.
Given the strength of the economy, the Fed is expected to deliver further
gradual rates hikes in September and December. Beyond that, the roadmap is
less clear. In his Jackson Hole speech, Chairman Powell emphasised the degree
of uncertainty about some of the key markers for policy makers, like the
neutral interest rate. Instead of following an approach guided by abstract
economic theory, Chairman Powell appears to be more comfortable taking an
empirical approach rooted in 'risk management'. He will likely feel his way
forward based on how the economy performs, given all the cross-currents.
Elsewhere in Washington, trade policy took two different tracks, marked by
constructive negotiations with Mexico and Canada that suggest a new agreement
on the North American Free Trade Agreement ("NAFTA") is likely, and the
ratcheting up of tariffs on China.
UK
After having shrugged off the predominantly weather induced slow-down at the
start of the year, economic activity has returned to its earlier moderate
pace. However, the uncertainty around Brexit as well as the moderation of
activity in Europe may pose some challenges. According to the Office of
National Statistics, the economy grew 0.6% 3m/3m in July, still supported by
robust growth within the services sector (contributing 0.45ppts). There was
also a rebound in construction activity, which contributed around 0.2ppts,
after having detracted 0.2ppts previously. Meanwhile, industrial output has
continued to act as a modest drag with manufacturing little changed over the
past three months. Currently, GDP is expected to grow at 0.5% q/q in Q3, up
slightly from the 0.4% seen in Q2. Looking ahead, business sentiment within
manufacturing has moderated further, reflecting both a slow-down in activity
in Europe, as well as increased uncertainty around the prospects of a no-deal
Brexit. Surveys for manufacturing export orders have experienced the largest
single month decline since 2011, and point to a contraction in manufacturing
export orders. Business sentiment for the services industry (which accounts
for 80% of the economy) continues to move sideways. Should business sentiment
continue to hold, GDP is expected to continue to grow at an average pace of
around 0.4% q/q, enough to absorb the little remaining slack in the economy.
Meanwhile, the unemployment rate continues to hit new multi-decade lows,
reaching 4.0% in June, the lowest rate since 1975. Robust employment should
support consumption; for example retail sales have grown 3.7% y/y in July, up
from the lows of 1% last year. However, the softness in the housing market
may still act as a drag; although house price growth remains positive at the
national level, activity indicators remain modest. Moreover, tighter
conditions around consumer lending may also act as a headwind to consumption.
Overall, the tightness in the labour market should continue to put upward
pressure on wage growth. Excluding bonuses, wage growth is averaging a pace
of 2.9% 3m/12m, remaining near post-crisis highs. Wage pressure should in
turn cause inflation to pick up; headline inflation rose 0.1ppts to 2.5% y/y
in July, whilst core inflation was unchanged at 1.9%.
The combination of moderate activity, a tight labour market, and gradually
building wage pressure has impacted the Bank of England's projection of
inflation, which remains above 2% for most of the projection horizon. It was
in this light that the Monetary Policy Committee ("MPC") voted unanimously to
raise the official bank rate 0.25ppts to 0.75% in August. Following this, the
MPC voted to keep the policy rate unchanged at the September meeting. On the
one hand, the minutes had highlighted the further improvements made in the
labour market. However, it also highlighted the increased concern among
businesses around the prospects of a 'no-deal' Brexit, as well as the
moderation in external growth. The key message from the MPC's statement was
left broadly unchanged: "were the economy to continue to develop broadly in
line with [the Bank's] Inflation Report projections, an ongoing tightening of
monetary policy over the forecast period would be appropriate to return
inflation sustainably to the 2% target at a conventional horizon. Any future
increases in Bank Rate are likely to be at a gradual pace and to a limited
extent."
Of course, the state of the Brexit negotiations remains a key risk to the
economic outlook. According to the latest White Paper, the UK aims to achieve
a post-Brexit "association agreement" with the EU, including a "free-trade
area" for goods and a looser arrangement for financial services. With regards
to timing, both the UK and the EU are still hoping to have a deal in October.
However, this is looking increasingly unlikely as there are more and more
headlines suggesting the possibility of an emergency EU summit meeting in
November.
EMU
EMU economic indicators suggest a rate of expansion which remained sluggish
in Q3, and a pace not dissimilar from the one recorded in the first half of
the year. In particular, in July industrial production, excluding
construction, fell by a larger than expected 0.8% m/m, to a level which is
0.8 points lower than in Q2, and points to a contraction of manufacturing
output in the current quarter. The contraction is partly due to a meaningful
drop of the production of automobiles, a sector affected by changes in
regulation, more pronounced in Germany, Italy and Spain. In August evidence
from business surveys showed some tentative indications of bottoming out,
with the EMU Composite Purchasing Managers' Index ("PMI") rising by 0.1
point, but only to a level lower than the Q2 average, which is consistent
with the subdued rhythm of GDP expansion. The headline Harmonised Index of
Consumer Prices ("HICP") fell from 2.14% y/y to 2.04% y/y. Core inflation
also fell from 1.07% y/y to 0.96% y/y, a 5 month low, and to a level quite
troubling from the European Central Bank's ("ECB") perspective, currently
showing no sign of convergence towards its definition of price stability.
Despite relatively dismal macroeconomic developments, both on the growth and
the price side, the ECB revised its projections for GDP and core inflation
only slightly downward, and the Governing Council seemed to remain confident
that underlying activity and inflation trends were moving along a
self-sustained process towards the ECB threshold. This optimistic reading of
the economy appears to have been motivated by the ECB's intention to proceed
with the pre-announced reduction of the pace of monthly net purchases of
bonds, from EUR30bn to EUR15bn from October to December, and the conditional end
from January 2019 onward. The bar to stop this process appears quite high.
Enquiries Next year the fine tuning of monetary policy will likely depend solely on the
decision concerning interest rates and their forward guidance.
Japan
The recent Bank of Japan ("BoJ") meeting was a non-event, with policy and
guidance unchanged. The BoJ is still evaluating the fallout from widening the
bands in which it will allow the 10 year rate to trade, from ±10bps to ±
20bps. The 10 year rate moved up a bit and is now running a few bps above the
previous range at around 0.12%. After depreciating somewhat against the
dollar over the spring, the yen appears to have stabilized in the 111-112
range.
Dialogue also revolved around a couple of topics outside of underlying trends
in demand, and beyond direct control of the bank. Tariff uncertainty appears
to be a concern to the BoJ, Japanese businesses and consumers. There are some
hints that President Trump may direct some pressure towards Japan in order to
bring them to bilateral talks. A multilateral agreement is unlikely; the best
case scenario for Japan is likely some combination of talks and US bandwidth
taken up elsewhere. Japan is also affected by tensions between the US and
China. On the one hand, there are reports that Japanese companies are
shifting some production home to avoid US tariffs. On the other hand,
supply-chain disruptions likely will lead to some minor hiccups for
producers. The typhoon that struck Osaka and the earthquake in northern Japan
are likely to affect some high-frequency data and hamper the tourism industry
but have no tangible long-lasting impact.
Recent activity data have been mixed, but overall do not change the view of a
decent pace of demand. Q2 real GDP was revised up, to show a 3% gain at an
annual rate. Solid contributions came from household consumption and business
capital fixed capital formation. Arithmetically, the second quarter would
have been stronger had imports not climbed as much. That is not necessarily a
sign of weakness though; strong domestic demand typically leads to some
additional imports. The Economy Watchers survey improved 2.1 points in
August. At 48.7, it is at a reasonable level, though down from the end of
last year. Industrial production slipped 0.2% in July. It has bounced around
recently without any real direction.
Inflation data has improved a bit of late, not sufficiently to allow the BoJ
to declare victory, but it is improving. National western core prices edged
up 0.1% in July, which reverses the previous month's decline. More
importantly, Tokyo core-core prices rose 0.2% in August after rising 0.1% in
both June and July.
