IMF-Philippines: Selected Issues

November 10, 2017--SPILLOVER EFFECTS FROM UNITED STATES POLICY SHIFTS AND LOWER GROWTH IN CHINA
The Philippines trade and financial exposures to the United States and China are more moderate than the more open ASEAN neighbors, albeit with the role of China rising recently.

Thus, the potential spillovers from policy shifts in the United States and lower growth in China is expected to be more modest in the Philippines, although historically U.S. financial spillovers had a large impact, perhaps reflecting the shallower financial depth. From a more forward looking perspective, we assess potential spillover effects to the Philippines under the following three illustrative scenarios: (a) monetary policy normalization in the United States, (b) a lower growth path in China owing to the materialization of downside risks, including tighter domestic funding conditions (IMF, 2017b), and (c) a deficit-financed fiscal expansion in the United States through reduced labor and corporate income taxes and increased infrastructure spending (IMF, 2017a).

Ultumus-Asia

November 6, 2017--Korea
Conventional wisdom and nationalist stereotypes tell us that Koreans love derivatives and leveraged products because they love to take a punt on spot prices.
And this week's Korean listings conform to the stereotype. Four Korean issuers are listing ETPs this week, all of which are leveraged.

KIM lists S&P ETNs with true leverage
Korea Investment Management is listing two ETNs. They are:
Korea Investment & Securities TRUE leverage S&P500 futures ETN H 22 (570022)
Korea Investment & Securities TRUE Inverse 2X S&P500 futures ETN H 23 (570023)

As the products, names suggest, both track the S&P with leverage going both ways.
Nonghyup Bank lists the same two products....

Samsung lists inverse gas trackers
Inverse and leveraged natural gas ETNs have been some of the best and worst performing products this year. And so Samsung, like other Korean issuers, has listed a 2x leveraged and inverse natural gas tracker. They are
Samsung Securities Samsung Inverse 2X Natural GAS Futures ETN 38 (530038)
Samsung Securities Samsung Leverage Natural GAS Futures ETN 37 (530037)

As is common among Korean ETF issuers, both achieve their commodities exposure through Dow Jones indices.... Shinhan Investment does the same thing...
