Banorte-Ixe FI/FX Strategy Mexico

Fixed-Income and FX Weekly Market outlook  Mexican assets mostly extend last week’s gains. The Mexican yield curve rallied 7bps in short- and mid-end securities, while longer tenors sold-off 1-6bps. The peso gained 1.2% to 20.39 per dollar

 The Fed and Banxico will likely hike rates by 25bps. The year is nearing its end with markets focused in global rates as strong global data and expectations of looser fiscal policy (mainly in the US) have lifted inflation expectations. Liquidity is likely to dry up substantially after this week, with investors focused on data and the Fed meeting. Regarding the latter, markets fully discount a 25bp hike, so attention will be on new forecasts, the infamous “dot plot”, and Yellen’s conference. Locally, Round 1.4 of the oil auction process was very successful and Fitch cut Mexico’s outlook to Negative from Stable, with a muted reaction of local assets to both events. Central bank decisions apart from the Fed and Banxico include the BoE, SNB, Chile, Colombia, and Russia. The economic agenda is full. In the US we highlight November hard data for retail sales, price indexes, industrial production, housing starts and permits along the December Philly Fed and Empire surveys. Eurozone releases include December PMI’s and ZEW index, October industrial production and trade balance. The UK publishes CPI, PPI and retail sales for November, while Japan industrial production and Tankan index. In China the focus will be on the usual monthly releases of retail sales, industrial production, credit, and gross fixed investment for November. Last but not least, in Mexico and apart from Banxico (we expect the Board to follow the Fed with +25bps) we will get to know October industrial production, November employment and another Central Bank expectations survey

Fixed-Income  Supply – On Tuesday, the MoF will auction 1-, 3-, and 6-month Cetes, the 3-year Mbono (Dec’19) and the 3-year real-rate Udibono (Jun’19)  Demand – Foreigners’ holdings in Mbonos totaled MXN 1.649 trillion (US$ 80.0 billion), a market share equal to 59.5%, as of November 29th. Short positions in Mbono Dec’24 located at MXN 3.4 billion from previous MXN 2.2 billion  Technicals – Mbono Dec’24 and 10-year Treasury spread improved in line with the local rally closing at 477bps from previous 489bps

Foreign exchange  Market positioning and flows – Net peso shorts increased marginally, ending at US$ 1.3 billion. Outflows from EM accelerated to the second highest since the election, reaching US$ 3.6 billion on the week  Technicals – The implied vol. curve exhibited marginal changes on the week after the strong plunge following the US election. After breaking the USD/MXN 20.50 psychological level, the cross is testing a support around the 20.30 level

Recommendations Fixed-Income  Short-end of the yield curve with an attractive valuation given the rate hikes priced in for the next 12 months  We continue recommending long positions in Udibonos Jun’19, Dec’20 and Jun’22 FX  We see current levels as attractive for USD/MXN longs ahead of Fed and Banxico decisions and a fall in liquidity going into year-end  We believe USD/MXN will not breach the 20.00 psychological level at least until the end of the month  Weekly estimated range between 20.10 to 20.50 per dollar This is the last report of the year. We resume on January 9th, 2017 Happy Holidays!

Document for distribution among the general public

Fixed-Income dynamics  Slight steepening along the local yield curve. The Mbonos curve registered mixed movements, as the short-term and mid-term tenors rallied 7bps in average whereas longer durations sold-off 5bps. In this sense, both Mbono Dec’24 and Mar’26 closed with a 3bps rally at 7.24% and 7.32%, respectively

On Tuesday, the MoF will auction 1-, 3-, and 6month Cetes, the 3-year Mbono (Dec’19) and the 3-year real-rate Udibono (Jun’19)  We expect strong demands for the securities to be auctioned today on the back of an attractive valuation in the short-end of the curve. We acknowledge that bidders are likely to give preference to the 3-year CPI-linked Udibono as inflation dynamics are expected to deteriorate in 2017, resulting in an attractive carry Auction specifics (Tuesday, December 13th, 2016) Maturity

Fixed-Income technicals (continued)  Although markets are still bracing for a potential reflation scenario as the new U.S. administration takes office, the sharp sell-off on fixed income has lowered its momentum with investors waiting for the final 2016 Fed monetary announcement. Moreover, inflationary concerns are adding from higher oil prices triggered by the recent OPEC and non-OPEC production cut agreements  Hedging needs remain high as uncertainty on Trump’s politics is resulting in higher risk aversion. The 2-year IRS-Mbonos kept unchanged at 80bps similar to the 10-year one at 40bps Mexican and US rates performance, last 12 months

Fixed-Income trade recommendations  Market focusing on Fed and Banxico, with an assessment that could be favorable for our trading ideas in the short-end and CPI-linked Udibonos. Investors will pay close attention to Fed’s policy decision tomorrow, with a strong likelihood of a 25bps rate hike, where dot plots, forecasts and policy assessment could result in a market pricing in more hikes for coming months (e.g. Banorte-Ixe 50bps in 2017). In addition, investors will remain with a cautious stance awaiting Trump’s swearing in to take place on January 20th. Moreover, 2017 will be characterized by several political events in Europe that could result in higher risk aversion (e.g. elections in France and Germany). In Mexico, the yield curve has observed a significant correction throughout this quarter, especially in November, following a threefold condition: (1) Higher U.S. Treasuries, (2) wider country risk premia, and (3) upward adjustment on inflation premium. The 10-year spread between Mbonos and Treasuries increased in a significant fashion, moving from 447pb by the end of the 3Q17 to 485bps actually. We anticipate this rate differential to remain wider in 2017 vis-à-vis previous years. More details in our research note “Fixed-Income, FX, and Commodities Update – The Trump Aftershock” , published on December 2nd, 2016. On the other hand, Banxico is likely to increase its reference rate by 25bps on Thursday, with the possibility of aligning its strategy to the Federal Reserve once again after several rate hikes during 2016. Recent information released by Banxico in the last weeks has stressed out the risks on inflation and growth associated with current global conditions, starring the outcome of U.S. elections. However, it seems that monetary policy has a limited space going forward. Taking into consideration these conditions, we acknowledge that the short-end of the yield curve is depicting an overshooting in terms of implied rate hikes priced in. The market is discounting 131bps of cumulative increases in the 12 months ahead. Taking into account this situation, we acknowledge that there is an attractive valuation in short-term securities. On the other hand, current inflation dynamics could have important implications in 2017. Recent polls have depicted important forecast adjustments for next year to levels close to 4.0%yoy from a previous 3.2%-3.4% range. Even Banxico has increased its expected inflation for the next year. The market is pricing inflation breakevens hovering around 3.8% in every tenor from 3.3% a month ago. Taking into consideration current conditions, we continue suggesting reducing exposure in Mbonos and increasing their positions in CPI-linked Udibonos, as a defensive relative value strategy. The Udibonos with the most attractive pricing are the ones maturing on Jun’19, Dec’20 and Jun’22

FX positioning and flows  MXN shorts marginally up. The net short in futures increased by only US$ 6 million to end at US$ 1.3 billion despite the relative recovery seen in spot levels, signaling speculators remain cautious on the currency  USD purchases continue. Global USD longs picked up by US$ 3.7 billion to end at US$ 30.4 billion, its strongest level since last May. Similar to last week, virtually all currencies were sold, with the highest pressure in JPY (-US$ 3.7 billion) and only EUR slightly higher with US$ 526 million in purchases.  Outflows from EM continue. After three weeks decelerating, mutual funds outflows from EM picked up on the week to US$ 3.7 billion, the second highest since the US election. Both fixed-income and equities saw sales higher than US$ 1.5 billion, with Asia as the weakest region. In Mexico, outflows reached US$ 240 million, pushing the YTD inflow to below US$ 1 billion since surpassing this level by mid-September  IMM positioning in USD/MXN futures

FX technicals  USD/MXN breaks below 20.50, support around 20.30. The cross fell below this psychological level towards the 20.30 zone, near a Fibonacci level at 20.33, unable to break lower despite a mostly positive environment on EM all week  Low MXN correlation with US equities. Since the US election, peso correlation with risky assets has decreased significantly, particularly with the S&P500/VIX, while increasing it strongly with UST rates. The latter is likely a result of expectations of fiscal policy that could lift more of the weight put so far in monetary policy as the primary instrument to provide stimulus to the economy, leading to higher portfolio flows into the US and risking a less gradual path of rate hikes by the Fed. In our view, this points towards the need to watch price dynamics in rates as opposed to equities as a trading signal for EM and the peso at least until the rest of the year and before Inauguration Day in the US on January 20  Marginal chances in volatilities. After falling strongly since the election, the implied vol curve showed for marginal moves on the week. The one-month metric picked up by barely 3bps to 14.0% and the two-month by -2bps to 14.5%, with all other tenors up to the one-year maturity just 2bps lower on average. The curve remained with a more normal, positive slope. In our view, volatilities are limited to see a strong downside move from here, with most measures near or slightly below its one/year moving average and a still uncertain local and external environment USD/MXN – Moving averages

FX technicals (continued)  Short-term risk reversals still heading lower. The skew in favor of short-term OTM USD/MXN calls over puts kept on the downside despite the stability of ATM vols, with the one-month measure going from 1.70 to 1.56 vols (-0.14vols) and the three-month from 2.19 to 2.05vols (-0.14vols). Adjusted for ATM vol the former remained ticked down to 0.11, marginally below its one-year average and signaling some vulnerability as it has cheapened significantly since the US election USD/MXN – ATM options volatility curve

FX trade recommendations  USD/MXN longs more attractive going into year-end. We estimate a weekly range between 20.10 to 20.50 per dollar. Last week we said that we saw long USD positions as more attractive below the 20.50 level that was breached early on the week as the USD paused its upward trend and the Round 1.4 of the oil auctions went better than expected. As a result, we see attractiveness of adding positions gradually at the current level going into year-end. In our view, there is a slight bias upwards for the cross next week going into the decisions by the Fed and Banxico on our base case of a 25bps rate hike in both cases. In the former and although a hike of this magnitude is already discounted, we see risks of an upward move in the infamous “dot plot” for coming years and some reference to higher inflation expectations as a factor to consider going forward. In the latter, we believe that recently weak survey figures (PMI’s and consumer confidence) reflect uncertainty and cautiousness after Trump’s election, with the Board likely following the Fed in spite of higher inflation risks going into 2017. The market is discounting a 29bps hike, so we do not see higher rate support for the peso because of the decision. After these events unfold and with a relatively heavy agenda, it is our take that investors will be wary of maintaining an overweight position in MXN or increasing it despite a more attractive valuation because of lower liquidity and high uncertainty about the new US administration next year USD/MXN and Mexico 5Y CDS
