Economic

Bond

Summary:

Long-duration Treasury yields, especially the 30-year and 10-year, are rising sharply in response to expectations of inflationary policies under Trump, such as tax cuts and increased spending. This has created a pronounced steepening in the yield curve.

The U.S. Treasury market is witnessing a pronounced "Trump steepening trade," with a notable sell-off in long-duration bonds. This trend reflects investor expectations that Trump’s return to the White House could lead to policies aimed at stimulating growth and inflation, such as tax cuts and increased spending. As a result, Treasury yields, especially at the long end of the curve, are spiking.

Highlights from the Current Treasury Market Movements

30-Year Yields Surge:

The yield on the 30-year bond has risen by 24 basis points, reaching 4.674%, marking the largest daily increase since 2020. This rise in long-term yields underscores the steepening of the yield curve, as investors anticipate inflationary fiscal policies under Trump’s administration.

10-Year Yield Near Key Resistance Levels:

The 10-year yield has risen as much as 20 basis points, reaching 4.473% and approaching a critical technical resistance level. A close above this level could signal further upside, potentially targeting the May high at 4.63%. Breaking this resistance could solidify the steepening trend, creating more selling pressure in the long end.

Supply Pressure on Treasuries

Today's long-end Treasury auction schedule is adding supply-side pressure, contributing to the bearish sentiment. The U.S. Treasury is set to issue $25 billion in 30-year bonds at 19:00 CET.

Rising yields, may further test demand for Treasuries, especially as the market anticipates potential shifts in fiscal policy under Trump. Typically, a substantial rise in U.S. Treasury yields ahead of an auction would attract more investors, but with the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. election, this may not be the case. Bondholders are carefully assessing whether potential growth and inflation-driven policies could erode the real value of their positions, which could further fuel the ongoing selloff.

Implications for Treasury Traders

Steepening Bias: Traders should continue to monitor the steepening bias in the Treasury market. With the long end rising faster than the front end, this could indicate that market participants are pricing in future inflationary pressures. In this environment, positioning along the curve is crucial, with potential opportunities in spread trades that capitalize on the steepening yield curve.

Key Resistance Levels: Technical traders should watch the 10-year yield resistance around 4.47%. A sustained break above this level could indicate further upward momentum in yields.

Auction Dynamics: Given the supply-heavy auction schedule, today’s bond and bill issuance will test investor demand at elevated yield levels. Weak demand could exacerbate selling in long-duration Treasuries, driving yields even higher. Traders should closely observe the bid-to-cover ratios and indirect bidding levels for insights into both domestic and foreign demand.

Fed’s Role Amid Higher Yields: With the FOMC meeting tomorrow (preview here), traders are watching for any Fed commentary on financial conditions. If the Fed cuts rates but does not address the rise in long-term yields, there’s a risk of a “bear steepening” effect, where long-term yields continue to rise despite short-term rate cuts. This scenario would reflect concerns over the Fed’s ability to control inflation expectations in the face of fiscal expansion.

China's exports grew at the fastest pace in over two years in October as factories rushed inventory to major markets in anticipation of further tariffs from the U.S. and the European Union, as the threat of a two-front trade war loomed large.

Donald Trump's sweeping victory in the U.S. presidential election has brought into sharp focus his campaign pledge to impose tariffs on Chinese imports in excess of 60% and is likely to spur a shift in stocks to warehouses in China's No.1 export market.

Trump's tariff threat is rattling Chinese factory owners and officials, with some $500 billion worth of shipments annually on the line, while trade tensions with the EU, which last year took $466 billion worth of Chinese goods, have intensified.

Export momentum has been one bright spot for a struggling economy as household and business confidence has been dented by a prolonged property market debt crisis . China's Exports Soar Past Forecast as Factories Front-Run Trump Tariff Threat_1

China's Exports Soar Past Forecast as Factories Front-Run Trump Tariff Threat_1

The line chart shows China's export and import growth from October 2022 to October 2024.

Outbound shipments from the world's second-biggest economy grew 12.7% year-on-year last month, customs data showed on Thursday, blowing past a forecast 5.2% increase in a Reuters poll of economists and a 2.4% rise in September.

Imports fell 2.3%, compared with expectations for a drop of 1.5%, turning negative for the first time in four months.

China's trade surplus grew to $95.27 billion last month, up from $81.71 billion in September.

"We can anticipate a lot of front-loading going into the fourth quarter, before the pressure kicks in come 2025," said Xu Tianchen, senior economist at the Economist Intelligence Unit.

"I think it is mainly down to Trump. The threat is becoming more real."

TRUMP EFFECT

China's exports to the U.S. increased an annual 8.1% last month, while outbound shipments to Europe jumped 12.7% over the same period.

"We expect shipments to stay strong in the coming months," Zichun Huang, China economist at Capital Economics, said in a note. "Any potential drag from Trump tariffs may not materialise until the second half of next year."

"Trump's return could create a short-term boost to Chinese exports as U.S. importers increase their purchases to get ahead of the tariffs," she added.

Among China's top exports to the U.S. last year were smartphones, tablet computers and video games consoles, Chinese customs data shows, setting up a potential repeat of Trumps's first term in office when he targeted Chinese electronics manufacturers.

There are signs demand for such products is dimming.

Trade data from South Korea and Taiwan pointed to cooling global demand, while German manufacturers have also reported they are struggling to find buyers overseas, leading analysts to conclude Chinese producers are slashing prices to find buyers or simply moving stocks out of China.

An official factory activity survey for October showed Chinese factories were still struggling to find buyers overseas.

"If the PMI new export sub-index has been going down, and the export figure goes up, I think it is safe to say it's more of an inventory shift," said Dan Wang, a Chinese economist based in Shanghai.

Exporters also had help from an easing in weather-related disruptions in September, enabling them to send out delayed orders.

China and Hong Kong stocks edged up on Thursday, supported by investor optimism over potential further stimulus measures, while the yuan recovered from a three-month low against the dollar.

The weaker yuan likely contributed to the surge in exports, analysts say, though it also made imports more expensive.

IMPORTS HIT BY WEAK DOMESTIC DEMAND

China's imports from the European Union and Southeast Asian economies fell an annual 6.1% and 7.3% last month, respectively, while purchases from Japan just eked into growth.

The world's biggest oil importer's crude purchases fell 9%, marking a sixth consecutive monthly year-on-year decline.

"The further slowdown in import growth is mainly due to the weak recovery of domestic effective demand and impact of low import prices and rising bases," said Zhou Maohua, a macroeconomic researcher at China Everbright Bank.

But China's soybean imports surged last month, as grain merchants in the U.S. raced to ship a record-large harvest to the Asian giant ahead of the now-concluded U.S. election.

Overall, as China's trade engine faces challenges, economists have cautioned Beijing against becoming too reliant on outbound shipments for growth and urged officials to introduce more stimulus.

ANZ analysts expect policymakers to deliver a mix of monetary and other steps to overcome any higher tariffs under Trump.

"The authorities will also consider some policy measures to offset the tariff impacts such as subsidies or access to funding," said Raymond Yeung, ANZ's chief economist for greater China.

"Commercial policy measures will also include local consumption campaign and developing new export market among the Belt and Road countries."

After months of disagreement and disfunction within the governing coalition (Greens, Social Democrats and Liberals), Chancellor Olaf Scholz (Social Democrats) fired Finance Minister Christian Lindner (Liberals).

"The parties failed to compromise on the 2025 budget and were also far apart on which measures to take Germany out of its economic stagnation," says Pia Fromlet, Economist for the Euro Area at SEB Bank. Lindner did not want to abandon the debt brake rule (structural deficit of a maximum of 0.35% of GDP per year).

GBP/EUR is up a quarter of a per cent on the day at 1.2034, having rallied 0.60% the day prior on news Donald Trump had won the U.S. Presidential election. Pound to Euro Extends Gains as German Government Collapses_1

Pound to Euro Extends Gains as German Government Collapses_1

Trump's win poses headwinds for the Eurozone owing to his desire to strike a hard bargain on U.S.-EU trade. The political uncertainty in Germany, therefore, couldn't come at a more inopportune time.

Scholz is now facing a confidence vote on January 15 next year, which he will probably lose.

"If that happens, there will be snap elections in March, six months earlier than the regular election. Popular dissatisfaction with the government is widespread and has increased support for the parties on the left and right fringes," says Fromlet.

Investment bank consensus forecasts update: The end-2024 and 2025 guide from Corpay has been released. It shows a sizeable uplift was made to the consensus forecasts for GBP/EUR.

Recent data from Germany suggests the economy is turning a corner. However, a recent spike in electricity and gas prices, as well as fresh political intrigue, might undermine business and consumer confidence heading into year-end.

Euro exchange rates are still recovering from Donald Trump's and his Republican Party's unexpectedly strong performance in the recently held elections.

Markets affixed an approximate 30% chance of a Trump win accompanied by a 'red sweep' in which the Republicans gained control of the Senate and retained control of the House of Representatives.

Results for the House are still coming in, but there is a 90% chance the Republicans will secure the House and, with it, deliver the sweep that will allow Trump to reign supreme.

"The EUR may suffer disproportionately given a potential trade war with the US; this would be especially untimely for an economy still struggling with weak growth," says a note from HSBC. "A further headwind to activity is untimely and suggests the EUR is likely to remain under selling pressure for now."

Economists think the Eurozone, with its strong trade links with the U.S. and China, is particularly at risk of U.S. tariffs. The UK will be impacted, too, but the judgement is that the hit will be less noticeable.

"The single currency's weakness has been attributed to fears of trade wars, which made life noticeably more difficult for Europe during Trump's last presidency. Then, as now, it could be a double whammy: immediate tariffs on European goods and increased pressure on China, reducing demand in the Middle Kingdom and squeezing German exports there," says Alex Kuptsikevich, Chief Market Analyst at FXPro.

Yet another divisive US election looks to have brought Donald Trump back into the White House, defeating Kamala Harris as prediction markets had suggested for some time. In addition, the Republicans have flipped the Senate, taking over 50 seats, and are doing well in the race for control of the House of Representatives, although this remains too close to call for most commentators at the time of writing. This outcome is expected to result in more stimulus for the US economy, although the scale will be dependent on whether Republicans have full control of Congress.

As expected, following such a major event, markets have reacted rapidly ahead of the US opening bell. Futures markets suggest the S&P 500 will open up over 2% and the NASDAQ up 1.7%. However, the standout parts of the US market are the S&P Midcap 400 and Russell 2000 indices, where futures are showing gains of over 4% and 5% respectively. This is unsurprising given the indications that Republicans will look to keep existing tax cuts in place and aim to do more. Perhaps the most surprising outcome so far is the strength of stock markets outside of the US. European and Japanese equities are performing well, and the downside in China is perhaps less than many had feared despite the negative impact of the incoming President’s stance on global trade. The US dollar is seeing strength across the board as markets consider the potential impact of further tariffs on imports and Federal Reserve cuts have been further priced out. US Treasury yields have risen sharply, due to both the continued evolution in interest rate expectations and the potential for higher inflation.

Words into action

Markets are now likely to start thinking about how the rhetoric translates into policy, with every pronouncement in the coming months going to be pored over for hints. With the general view that both parties would continue to run budget deficits, it looks likely that the US economy will remain hooked on the growth high of fiscal stimulus. The effect that this has on the Federal Reserve (Fed) may take some time to become clear as the central bank will be reluctant to take anything into account until there is greater policy clarity.

Markets will need to wait to see whether the Fed is willing and able to push back against a hot economy. The US economy has been performing strongly, as shown by 2.8% annualized growth in the third quarter, and a continued run of positive data surprises. However, with the prospect of fewer interest rate cuts, bond markets already worried about the US debt mountain, and rising long-term Treasury yields, investors need to be careful that higher-for-longer doesn’t start to become a problem for the economy. A soft landing feels broadly priced in, but there are cracks in some areas of the economy that may widen if interest rate cuts do not materialise to a large enough degree. For the moment though, markets are focused on the upsides that come with certainty after an election and the prospect of pro-growth policy.

Commodity

Energy – Hurricane Rafael shuts in oil production

Oil prices faced pressure yesterday as the US dollar surged with the clarity of the election results. However, the oil market managed to recover a significant portion of these losses as the trading session progressed.

The impact of a Trump presidency is still uncertain with several opposing forces potentially at play. USD strength is likely to provide headwinds not just to oil but to the broader commodities complex, as we witnessed yesterday. Furthermore, a Trump administration could see an increase in oil and gas leasing on federal land, which had fallen significantly under Biden. However, US supply growth is going to remain largely price-dependent. On the flip side, a Trump presidency also opens the door for a more hawkish US stance against Iran, which could mean stricter enforcement of oil sanctions. Stricter enforcement of sanctions potentially leaves a little more than 1m b/d of oil supply at risk.

Hurricane Rafael in the US Gulf of Mexico continues to put oil and gas supply at risk. According to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), a little over 304k b/d of US Gulf of Mexico oil production has been shut in due to the hurricane, while 131 mcf/day of natural gas production has also been shut.

The EIA released its weekly inventory report yesterday which showed that US commercial crude oil inventories increased by 2.15m barrels over the last week, slightly less than the 3.1m barrel build reported by the API the previous day. While refines increased their utilisation rate by 1.4pp over the week, a 1.41m b/d WoW decline in crude oil exports would have helped to contribute to the crude build. Refined products also saw builds over the week with gasoline and distillate stocks increasing by 412k barrels and 2.95m barrels respectively. Implied demand also fell over the week, with implied gasoline and distillates demand falling by 331k b/d and 475k b/d respectively.

Chinese trade data for October released this morning shows that crude oil imports into China remain under pressure with 10.56m b/d of crude imported last month, down 4.9% MoM and 8.7% lower YoY. This leaves cumulative imports so far this year down 3.4% YoY. These numbers will do little to ease Chinese demand concerns.

Metals – Slump on dollar strength as Trump wins election

The metals complex came under pressure yesterday, driven by a stronger dollar and a risk of tariffs after Trump won the US presidential election.

Copper led industrial metals lower, following three days of gains on better-than-expected data from China. Beijing is expected to unveil more support measures later this week at the National People’s Congress Standing Committee meeting. If more fiscal measures are announced, this will likely boost metals prices.

In precious metals, gold also slumped, weighed by a rising dollar. However, while a stronger dollar may act as a headwind for the precious metal, this could be offset by a geopolitical uncertainty that may accompany a Trump presidency. Gold has long been a safe haven asset during times of elevated geopolitical risk.

Trump’s proposed policies, including tariffs and stricter immigration controls, which are inflationary in nature, could limit interest rate cuts from the Fed. A stronger dollar and tighter monetary policy could provide headwinds to gold and industrial metals. Tariffs also provide a downside risk to global growth, which would be negative for industrial metals demand. However, for gold, increased trade friction could add to the precious metal’s haven appeal.

Agriculture – Soybeans fall on China trade uncertainty

CBOT soybean prices initially sold off on the back of the US election outcome with the market down around 2% at one stage yesterday. The concern for soybeans is that they get caught up in any potential trade tensions, like we saw during the trade war under Trump’s previous presidency.

There are reports that Ivory Coast exporters are rejecting truckloads of cocoa beans due to the bad quality of beans, adding fresh supply threats to the global market balance. There are estimates that an average of eight to 10 trucks (35t of each) of cocoa beans have been sent back daily by top bean exporters and grinders over the last two weeks, as beans are full of mould and smaller than usual. Recent data also indicates that bean arrivals at the Ivory Coast ports have dropped week on week, as heavy rainfall last month made it difficult for producers to dry the beans while also delaying harvesting.

The General Statistics Office of Vietnam released trade volume estimates for October which show that coffee shipments rose to 44kt, up 1.5% YoY. However, cumulative coffee exports fell 11.2% YoY to 1.15mt over the first 10 months of the year.

GBP/USD rises ahead of the BoE & Fed rate decisions

GBP/USD Is recovering from yesterday's sell-off as the dollar gives back some of its post-election rallies and as investors look ahead to the Bank of England and Federal Reserve interest rate decisions.

The BoE is expected to cut interest rates for a second time since 2020, reducing rates by 25 basis points to 4.75%. The move is priced in, and the big question will be whether the central bank signals further rate cuts following the government's budget last week, which is expected to increase inflationary pressures.

Currently, inflation has fallen to 1.7% and wage growth has eased to 4.9%. Following the Budget, the market has reined in rate cut expectations for 2025, down from 4-5 rate cuts to round 2-3. A less dovish-sounding Andrew Bailey could lift the pound.

The USD has fallen back from a four-month high reached yesterday as the Trump trade cools.

The USD had surged following Trump's victory in the elections and the increasing likelihood of a Republican sweep, which would have trump significant authority to push through an expansive agenda on tax cuts and trade tariffs.

The Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.5% to 4.75%. As with the Bank of England, the focus will be on guidance in light of Trump’s return to the White House.

GBP/USD forecast – technical analysis

GBP/USD has fallen 5% from its September high. While the selloff broke below the 1.30 psychological level and the rising trendline dating back to May, the pair remained above the 200 SMA, finding support around 1.2850. It has corrected higher, bringing 1.30 back into focus.

A rise above 1.30 opens the door to 1.3050, and a rise above here creates a higher high.

Sellers will need to take out 1.2850 to extend the selloff to the 200 SMA at 1.2815 and 1.2665, the August low.

GBP/USD, EUR/USD Forecast: Two Trades to Watch_1

EUR/USD recovers from a 4-month low ahead of the Fed

EUR/USD is rising after dropping 2% in the previous session and trades around the one 1.0750 level early in the European session. Although gains in the pair could be limited following Trump's re-election.

Donald Trump and the Republicans are set to take control of both chambers of Congress, providing a strong platform to push through inflationary policies on tax deregulation on trade tariffs.

The U.S. dollar index rose to a four-month high versus its major peers yesterday to 105.44. Today, it trades around 104.90 as U.S. Treasury yields also ease. The market’s reaction points to expectations that the Fed will cut rates at a slower pace.

Today, the Fed is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points, and the focus will be on any clues suggesting that the Fed may skip December's rate cut. The market's pricing is a 70% probability that the Fed will cut again in December; however, this could change if the Fed gives a different steer in light of Trump's election.

Meanwhile, the euro is recovering from sharp declines yesterday amid concerns that Trump's tariffs could cause Europe's fragile growth to stall, and the ECB may be forced to cut interest rates more aggressively in 2025. These worries could limit gains in the EUR.

Today, attention is on eurozone retail sales, which are expected to rise 0.4%, up from 0.2%. ECB president Christine Lagarde is also due to speak on Saturday.

EUR/USD forecast – technical analysis

EUR/USD ran into resistance at the 100 SMA and rebounded lower, breaking below the 200 SMA, 1.08 round number, and the rising trendline dating back to October last year.

The price fell to a low of 1.0680 and has corrected higher, rising above the 1.07 level. It is attempting to retake the rising trend line. A rise above here and 1.08 negates the near-term downtrend and brings the 200 SMA into play at 1.0870.

Failure to retake the rising trendline could see sellers test 1.07, with a break below here opening the door to 1.0660 the June low.

Economic

In a surprising and historic turn, Donald Trump secures another term as President of the United States, having won the 2024 election. His return to office could have far-reaching implications for the U.S. economy. As a businessman-turned-politician, Trump’s economic policies during his first term were characterized by tax cuts, deregulation, and a focus on American manufacturing. With another chance to shape economic policy, his approach could steer the U.S. economy in a different direction compared to the current administration.

In this article, we’ll analyze the potential consequences of Trump’s victory on key aspects of the U.S. economy, including fiscal policy, trade, inflation, job growth, and corporate America.

Tax Policy and Fiscal Stimulus

One of Trump’s signature policy moves during his first term was the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which significantly lowered the corporate tax rate and provided tax cuts for individuals. If Trump’s 2024 administration follows a similar path, we could see another round of tax cuts aimed at stimulating economic growth. His focus on tax cuts for businesses, particularly large corporations, could attract more investment and encourage hiring.

The tax cuts might also continue to provide a boost to consumer spending, which is crucial for driving GDP growth. However, there are concerns about how such policies will impact the federal deficit and national debt. Some critics argue that while tax cuts can stimulate short-term growth, they often come with long-term fiscal challenges, including rising government borrowing.

Regulation and Deregulation

Trump has long been a champion of deregulation, particularly for the energy, banking, and environmental sectors. During his first term, he rolled back numerous regulations put in place by the Obama administration, claiming they were stifling business growth. In a second term, Trump may push for further deregulation, potentially benefiting industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and agriculture.

However, critics of deregulation argue that these policies can lead to environmental degradation, safety risks, and a lack of oversight in critical sectors. In any case, a Trump presidency could likely lead to reduced governmental oversight in many industries, with businesses potentially benefitting from fewer compliance costs and fewer restrictions on operations.

Trade and Global Relations

Trump’s "America First" approach to trade policies was one of the most defining aspects of his first term. He implemented tariffs on a wide range of goods, particularly from China, aiming to address trade imbalances and protect American industries. Under his leadership, the U.S. withdrew from multilateral trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and renegotiated deals such as NAFTA, resulting in the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

With Trump back in office, we could see a return to more protectionist trade policies. The trade war with China, for example, could intensify as Trump seeks to further reduce the U.S. trade deficit. While these policies may benefit certain sectors, such as steel and manufacturing, they could also create disruptions in global supply chains and raise costs for consumers.

Moreover, Trump’s stance on international organizations and alliances is likely to remain confrontational, possibly leading to more trade tensions with Europe, Canada, and other major economic players.

Inflation and Interest Rates

During Trump’s first term, inflation remained relatively low despite significant fiscal stimulus and tax cuts. However, the global economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent inflation surge have brought the issue to the forefront in recent years.

If Trump’s policies push for more government spending and tax cuts, there is potential for inflationary pressures to rise, especially if the economy is already operating near full capacity. The Federal Reserve’s role in managing interest rates could become a critical point of tension between Trump and the central bank. In his previous term, Trump frequently criticized the Federal Reserve for raising interest rates, preferring a low-rate environment that supports borrowing and investment.

A second Trump presidency could put pressure on the Fed to maintain low interest rates, potentially stoking inflation further but providing some relief to borrowers.

Job Growth and Labor Market

Trump’s first term saw significant job growth, with unemployment reaching record lows, especially before the pandemic. His economic policies, which prioritized cutting taxes for businesses and reducing regulations, were credited with helping to boost job creation and wages. A focus on revitalizing American manufacturing and energy independence was also central to his 2020 campaign, and it is likely to remain a priority in his second term.

If Trump’s policies succeed in stimulating job growth, this could translate into a strong labor market, with businesses hiring more workers and wages increasing, particularly in sectors like construction, manufacturing, and energy. However, challenges such as labor shortages and automation could still impact certain industries.

Stock Market and Corporate America

Trump’s first term saw strong stock market performance, driven by business-friendly policies, tax cuts, and deregulation. Corporate profits reached record highs, with many companies benefiting from a favorable tax environment and a rising stock market.

In a second term, Trump may continue to pursue policies that are favorable to Wall Street, such as corporate tax cuts and deregulation of financial markets. This could lead to another period of stock market growth, with large corporations and investors benefiting the most.

However, the broader impact on the middle class and working Americans could be more mixed. While the stock market may continue to rise, wealth inequality may become more pronounced, as the top 1% of earners continue to benefit the most from these policies.

Final Thoughts: The Impact on the U.S. Economy

Donald Trump’s 2024 victory is likely to bring significant changes to the U.S. economy, particularly in the areas of tax policy, deregulation, trade, and fiscal stimulus. His business-oriented approach and focus on reducing government intervention in the market could result in economic growth in certain sectors, but also raise concerns about inequality, inflation, and long-term fiscal health.

While Trump’s supporters argue that his policies will continue to drive job creation, reduce government interference, and make the U.S. a more competitive global economic force, critics warn that his approach may lead to increased debt, trade tensions, and environmental challenges.

Ultimately, Trump's second term will offer both opportunities and risks for the U.S. economy. The next few years will be crucial in determining how his policies shape the country's economic landscape and its place in the global economy.
