BetaShares Weekly Newsletter-Another rate cut more likely than not

August 9, 2016--Although the Reserve Bank of Australia's August Statement on Monetary Policy (SMP) did not contain an explicit easing bias, nor changes to the Bank's growth or inflation forecasts, it's nonetheless still consistent with a strong bias to cutting interest rates further-even after the RBA's decision to slash official rates to 1.5% a few days earlier.

IMF Working Paper-Spillovers from China's Growth Slowdown and Rebalancing to the ASEAN-5 Economies

August 9, 2016--Summary: After many years of rapid expansion, China's growth is slowing to more sustainable levels and is rebalancing, with consumption becoming the main growth driver. This transition is likely to have negative effects on its trading partners in the near term.

This paper studies the potential spillovers to the ASEAN-5 economies through trade, commodity prices, and financial markets. It finds that countries with closer trade linkages with China (Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand) and net commodity exporters (Indonesia and Malaysia) would suffer the largest impact, with growth falling between 0.2 and 0.5 percentage points in response to a decline in China's growth by 1 percentage point depending on the model used and the nature of the shock. The impact could be larger if China's slowdown and rebalancing coincides with bouts of global financial volatility. There are also opportunities from China's rebalancing, both in merchandise and services trade, and there is preliminary evidence that some ASEAN-5 economies are already benefiting from these trends.

IMFWorking Paper-What is Responsible for India's Sharp Disinflation?

August 8, 2016--Summary: We analyze the dramatic decline in India's inflation over the last two years using an augmented Phillips Curve approach and quantify the role of different factors.

Our results suggest that, contrary to popular perception, the direct role of lower oil prices in India's disinflation was relatively modest given the limited pass-through into domestic prices. Instead, we find that inflation is a highly persistent process in India, reflecting very adaptive expectations and the backward looking nature of wage and support price-setting. As a consequence, we find that a moderation of expectations, both backward and forward, and a rationalization of Minimum Support Prices (MSPs), explain the bulk of the disinflation over the last two years.
