Oil Eases Losses After U.S., China Sign Phase One of Trade Deal
(Bloomberg) -- Oil erased some of the losses that followed the U.S. inventory report after the U.S. and China inked the first phase of a broader trade pact on Wednesday.Futures in New York settled 0.7% lower after falling as much as 1.5% earlier. China agreed to buy $52.4 billion of additional U.S. energy products as part of a landmark trade deal signed by the world’s two top economic superpowers. But a bearish US government report that showed swelling fuel inventories held back further gains from the newly minted deal.Oil rebounded from a low because of the signing of the initial U.S.-China trade deal, said Bart Melek, head of global commodity strategy at TD Bank in Toronto. “This agreement could pave the way for global demand to improve after nearly two years into the dispute.”Still, U.S. crude futures remained under pressure as traders focused on the nearly 15-million-barrel rise in U.S. petroleum inventories to the highest in four months, a sign of weak demand. At the same time, domestic oil production hit a fresh record.Additionally, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries increased its forecasts for growth in output from non-members this year. This comes as tension between the U.S. and Iran is fading since the killing of an Iranian general earlier this month, easing concerns about supply from the Middle East.West Texas Intermediate crude for February delivery settled 42 cents lower to $57.81 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, after earlier falling to as low as $57.36.The prompt WTI futures spread remained in contango, a relationship normally suggesting oversupply. The February contract traded as low as a 7-cent discount to March.Brent futures for March settlement fell 49 cents to $64 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange. The global benchmark crude traded at a $6.16 premium to WTI for the same month.The EIA report shows U.S. gasoline stockpiles rose 6.68 million barrels last week, while distillate supplies increased 8.17 million barrels. In particular, the dip in distillate demand is counter seasonal, and likely due to recent warmer weather in the Northeast. U.S. crude production hit 13 million barrels a day. The rise in fuel stocks and production overshadowed the 2.55-million-barrel decrease in oil stockpiles.\--With assistance from James Thornhill, Elizabeth Low and Grant Smith.To contact the reporter on this story: Sheela Tobben in New York at vtobben@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: James Herron at jherron9@bloomberg.net, Mike Jeffers, Christine BuurmaFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

China’s Yuan Climbs Past Key Levels as Trade Tensions Ease
(Bloomberg) -- With a trade deal nearly signed and China’s economy on steadier footing, the path for China’s yuan to strengthen is now wide open.The currency on Tuesday touched its highest since July in the offshore market, after punching through 6.9 per dollar for the first time in more than five months on Monday. The latest leg up came from news of the Trump administration removing China from its designation as a currency manipulator.China’s currency has now recouped about a third of the losses it sustained against the dollar since mid-June 2018, when U.S.-China trade tensions soared as President Donald Trump pressed ahead with waves of tariff hikes. The exchange rate has also benefited lately from rising confidence that China has arrested an economic slowdown.Some now predict the currency will touch 6.8 per dollar within three months -- a level not seen since May last year.“Having a stronger currency is one way to show good will,” said Mitul Kotecha, a senior emerging-markets strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank in Singapore. “Signs of a gradual, as opposed to rapid, slowdown in China’s economy and limited decline in China rates will provide support to the currency.”With Chinese Vice Premier Liu He expected to seal the partial Sino-American trade deal in Washington Wednesday, the Trump administration said Monday China had made “enforceable commitments” not to devalue the yuan and had agreed to publish exchange-rate information. The U.S. Treasury still kept China on a monitoring list for foreign-exchange practices.The yuan has also been advancing more broadly, climbing the past four sessions against a basket of trading partners’ currencies. The strengthening has helped bolster sentiment in stocks, with the CSI 300 Index closing at its highest level in almost two years Monday. Shares of Chinese companies also surged in Hong Kong.China’s currency weakened past the key 7 per dollar level for the first time in a decade in August, when tensions between the two nations escalated. The yuan’s slide last year reignited one of Trump’s favorite criticisms of China: that Beijing weakens its currency to aid exporters.Now, investor optimism over the economy and trade has kept the currency on the strong side of 7 for more than two weeks. With technical indicators flashing bullish signals, multiple measures of expected volatility are hovering near their lowest in about five months, signaling a reluctance among traders to hedge against swings. The yuan has gained more than 4% since September’s nadir.Why the U.S. Labeled China a Currency Manipulator: QuickTakeSome yuan watchers are advising caution. Cliff Tan, head of global markets research for East Asia at MUFG Bank Ltd., says expectations of fiscal stimulus may be running too high. Khoon Goh, head of Asia research at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd., says the yuan’s strength is temporary, as it’s partly related to corporate spending and exporter conversion before the Lunar New Year.Analysts started revising their 2020 forecasts for the yuan last month, following news that Beijing and Washington reached an agreement. Evidence that a slowdown in the world’s second-largest economy may not be as bad as feared has also helped, with recent data showing that China’s manufacturing sector continued to expand in December.Expectations that authorities will add to policies supporting growth -- while staying clear of large-scale monetary stimulus -- are also boosting sentiment for the yuan.The median forecast of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg is for the yuan to end 2020 at 6.95.“The yuan’s outperformance since last week has reflected the improving risk sentiment, thanks to signs of the economy bottoming out,” said Tommy Xie, an economist at Oversea-Chinese Banking. “There’s some speculation that China may get a better trade deal than expected.”(Adds context on losses since trade war escalated, in third paragraph.)To contact Bloomberg News staff for this story: Livia Yap in Shanghai at lyap14@bloomberg.net;Qizi Sun in Beijing at qsun62@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Sofia Horta e Costa at shortaecosta@bloomberg.net, Christopher AnsteyFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Wall Street Is Gaming Out All the Possible U.S.-Iran Scenarios
(Bloomberg) -- Investors and analysts returning to work this week after the festive break found an unwanted item on their desks: a geopolitical puzzle with a bevy of players, complex rules and no clear solution. They’ve spent every minute since trying to figure it out.As the market turmoil sparked by the U.S. killing of an Iranian military leader eases, Wall Street is mapping out scenarios that range from retaliation by Tehran through proxies to tit-for-tat escalations.The threat appeared to intensify Tuesday after Iran said it is evaluating 13 possible ways to inflict a “historic nightmare” on America, while dozens were killed in a stampede at the general’s funeral.“The market is underestimating the risk,” said Fabrizio Fiorini, the chief investment officer at Pramerica Sgr Spa in Milan. “Investors are forgetting that equity is discounting a perfect alignment of planets in terms of monetary and fiscal stimulus and economic rebound and political stability. What happened in Iraq is suggesting that the planets are not aligned.”Here’s a look at some of the scenarios money managers and strategists are considering, in their own words:BlackRockBase case: Iranian retaliation is likely; energy infrastructure in the region is particularly vulnerable.Status quo: We prefer U.S. Treasuries to lower-yielding peers as portfolio ballast and like inflation-protected securities against inflation risks.Escalation: We believe markets are underestimating political risks, especially in the Gulf, North Korea and in cyberspace.Morgan Stanley Wealth ManagementBase case: Tensions are high and risk is elevated, but Iran and the U.S. have constraints that likely limit escalation.Status quo: Possible near-term Iranian retaliation includes attacks against Israel using Hezbollah, proxy escalations in northern Iraq and cyberattacks. Iran could pursue a more aggressive strategy, but the regime remains mindful of U.S. military power. Meanwhile, election-year politics likely limit U.S. engagement.Escalation: The primary threat to oil prices is an Iranian escalation that draws catastrophic U.S. reprisal. Middle East military escalation historically meant higher oil prices, but as we wrote in The New Economics of Oil, even a major escalation would likely drive prices for only a short time.Nomura InternationalBase case: The more likely scenario involves a retaliation from Iran, but not enough to spark an outright war with the U.S.Status quo: Even if we assign relatively a high probability (of around 80%) to the scenario of no severe escalation and maintain our view that the positive themes of U.S.-China trade, improving global data and a bottoming of the semiconductor down-cycle continue, the risk-reward of holding our current level of positive Asia risk has fallen from what it was a few weeks ago. Thus, we reduce some of our outright short USD/Asia FX positions.Escalation: The risk that the situation in the Middle East could intensify is undeniable and, if this occurs, it could lead to a further rise in crude oil prices and risk reduction. The sensitivity of major currencies to crude oil prices and global stock prices since October 2019 indicates that JPY appreciation is likely to become evident when crude oil prices rise during risk-off periods. Thus, in the short term, JPY long positions are effective as a hedge against the worsening situation in the Middle East.RabobankBase case: A nervous waiting game is likely to continue as investors brace themselves for Iran’s retaliation. It is worth noting that gold is trading only modestly below the recent high and USD/JPY is struggling to gain a better upside traction following its recent fall.Status quo: An indication that geopolitical risk remains elevated is Brent crude holding well above the pre-Iran crisis level. The sharp spike in oil does not bode well for energy importers. In the CEEMEA space Turkey and South Africa are particularly vulnerable as domestic factors are a major source of risk as well.Escalation: Geopolitical tensions may escalate substantially in the coming days as Iran is reportedly assessing 13 scenarios to revenge the killing of Qassem Soleimani.TD SecuritiesBase case: The reality is nobody can say with any confidence how the U.S.-Iran tensions will evolve. As such, the TD securities team would be keeping an open mind to changing the crude oil view should tensions escalate into 2020.Status quo: For now, the recent oil spike is being faded as we take at face value Iran’s “promise” to stick to military targets and keep any retaliation proportional.Escalation: The risk of increasing geopolitical tensions and a potential negative supply shock originating from the oil market could well mean that gold can move north of $1,600 should tensions escalate further, which also would help to send the rest of the precious metals complex to new multi-year highs.\--With assistance from Yakob Peterseil, Cecile Gutscher and Anchalee Worrachate.To contact the reporter on this story: Sam Potter in London at spotter33@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Sam Potter at spotter33@bloomberg.net, Sid Verma, Yakob PeterseilFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2020 Bloomberg L.P.

Stock Bulls Vindicated in Early Test of Billion-Dollar Rotation
(Bloomberg) -- Stock bulls are facing their first big test of 2020, and seem to be emerging unscathed.After one of the best years for risk assets in decades, investors spent the fourth quarter unraveling safety trades that dominated 2019 and piling on risk. But with geopolitical uncertainty quickly rearing up to test their mettle, some began to wonder whether that rotation was premature.There’s certainly a fresh backdrop for this bunch of newly rejiggered portfolios. Just weeks ago, the low-volatility stock trade was losing its allure, flows into fixed-income funds were slowing in relation to equities, and everyone seemed to be rushing into shares that should outperform in an economic rebound. A U.S. airstrike that killed a top Iranian commander has altered the calculus behind that shift, but -- for now -- investors are holding the course.“People aren’t changing their investment theses based on it,” JJ Kinahan, chief market strategist at TD Ameritrade, said by phone. “They’re going to wait it out a little bit and see what the next escalation point, if there is one, is.”Despite the fiery rhetoric, market reaction so far has been contained. The benchmark’s fallen about half a percentage point from its record highs, after a year in which the S&P 500 Index gained almost 30%. A rebound in economic growth and corporate profits is still widely expected, but with billions of dollars recently shifting from defense to offense, the stakes are high.Investors poured $90 billion into equity ETFs in the three months ended December, the most in two years and more than twice the amount that flocked to bond funds, Bloomberg Intelligence data show. That brought total inflows for stock exchange-traded funds to $161 billion in 2019, and ended three quarters in which debt demand topped appetite for equities.Sector funds tracking technology and energy experienced their best three-month periods since 2016, taking in more cash than any other industry. Meanwhile, bond proxies including consumer staples and utilities ETFs, suffered their first quarter of outflows since the start of 2018.“We’ve gone from ultimate bearishness to essentially euphoria in the last few months,” Mike Dowdall, a portfolio manager at BMO Global Asset Management, which oversees $260 billion, said late December. “It’s a little bit surprising.”Perhaps more surprising is that investors seem to be maintaining their appetite for risk this year, even as tensions in the Middle East ratchet higher.Funds buying oil, energy stocks, gold or Treasuries -- which could all benefit from escalation -- have seen little additional interest. Instead, economically-sensitive areas of the stock market garnered attention, with investors pouring $700 million into the $11.8 billion Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund on Friday, the most for any day since 2016.Granted, that ETF holds defense stocks alongside machinery companies, but investors also flocked to consumer discretionary and financial funds last week. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust -- the world’s largest ETF -- meanwhile saw inflows of $4.6 billion.“The escalation of tensions with Iran warrants close watching,” said Sandip Bhagat, Whittier Trust’s chief investment officer, citing its potential impact on oil prices and global growth. “Even as uncertainty dissipated on several fronts in late 2019, the early days of 2020 have now seen an unexpected spike in geopolitical risks.”While gold prices have jumped in recent days, cash has yet to flood back into ETFs that own the precious metal. Going into the year, appetite for the safety of gold ETFs had soured, with funds tracking the commodity losing cash in the fourth quarter for the first time in over a year.Still, after weeks of underperformance, Todd Rosenbluth, director of ETF research at CFRA Research, sees potential upside for some more conservative strategies, such as those that pick low-volatility stocks.The firm’s equity analysts hold a year-end price target for the S&P 500 of 3,435. That would imply a gain of roughly 6%, far short of last year’s performance, and potentially a boon for funds like the $37 billion iShares Edge MSCI Min Vol USA ETF, which trades under the ticker USMV.“Given a lower expected return, we think investors will continue to focus on ways to reduce their equity risk profile and USMV is built to do just that,” according to Rosenbluth.(Updates market move in fifth paragraph.)To contact the reporter on this story: Sarah Ponczek in New York at sponczek2@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Jeremy Herron at jherron8@bloomberg.net, Rachel Evans, Rita NazarethFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.com©2020 Bloomberg L.P.
