EBRD calls for urgent structural reforms as growth slumps

Slowdown in Russia is new source of weakness in region
May 10, 2013--The EBRD has called for urgent structural reforms in emerging Europe after winding back its economic forecasts.

The Bank revised down its overall outlook for growth to 2.2 per cent for 2013, well below the 3.1 per cent seen only four months ago.

It said the worsening mood reflected a slowdown particularly in Russia, even as the threat from turmoil in the eurozone appeared to be abating. Weaker activity in other large economies such as Poland and Turkey was also weighing on the outlook.

However, the report said the biggest downside risk to the outlook remained a possible further deterioration of the Eurozone crisis.

DB-Synthetic Equity & Index Strategy-Europe Monthly ETF Market Review-Fixed income flows surge as the gold price falls

May 9, 2013--Global Summary
Global ETP industry assets breached the $2 trillion mark with an increase of 8.4% YTD, while the European ETP industry ended the month at €290.1bn.
The month of April was marked by cash inflows into fixed income (+$9.6bn) and equity ETFs (+$8.2bn), and cash outflows from commodity ETPs (-$9.3bn), notably gold products.

Gold ETPs have had a rough year so far. Globally, ETPs tracking gold have lost over $18bn in cash outflows YTD, with over $8.8bn making its way out of the markets in April alone. As of 30/04/13, the S&P500 has gained 12% YTD; the US dollar has become stronger by 2.5% while gold has declined by 12% over the same period. With equity markets generating positive returns and the US dollar trending higher, the sudden drop in gold prices in mid April (-7.7% for the month), appears to have come as a positive sign for the “risk-on” investor approach prevalent over the last couple of months. Notwithstanding the rush of retail investors in a few markets to buy physical gold, weak sentiment has ensured that the now regular outflows from gold ETPs continued over the month of April.

Regional cash flow summary
Fixed income ETFs had a healthy run; while equities and commodities receded in Europe
Cash flows into European domiciled ETFs went into negative territory over the month of April after gradually slowing down during the first quarter of the year. European domiciled ETFs received cash flows of +€4.6bn, +€1.7bn, +€0.2bn and -€0.4bn in the months of Jan'13, Feb'13, Mar'13 and Apr'13 respectively.

Fixed income ETFs had the largest share contributing +€1.7bn of the monthly cash flows. Conversely, equity ETFs and commodity ETPs recorded cash outflows of -€1.2bn and -€1bn respectively. Monthly cash outflows from European gold ETPs (-€880mn) took YTD losses to -€2.5bn.

Among equity segments, outflows continued from emerging (EM) and developed market (DM) benchmarked equity ETFs which recorded monthly outflows of -€1bn each during April. In contrast, style and strategy ETFs received positive cash flows of +€522mn and +€217mn respectively, partially offsetting losses from DM and EM products over the same period.

Equity continues to dominate cashflows in the US; fixed income inflows strong, but commodities witness further outflows
US ETFs experienced inflows of $17.8bn during April vs. +$18.8bn the previous month. Equity ETFs had the lion’s share of the monthly cash flows contributing +$10.2bn, with fixed income ETFs adding +$7.2bn. Commodity ETPs witnessed record monthly outflows totalling -$8bn primarily driven by outflows from gold ETPs (-$7.6bn) over April.

Within equities, ETFs focused on Japan, quantitative & dividend strategies and healthcare sector collected monthly cash inflows of +$4.2bn, +$2.8bn, +$2.8bn and +$1.4bn respectively. ETFs benchmarked to broad emerging markets and growth strategy experienced cash outflows of -$2.6bn and -$1bn respectively in April.

Fixed income ETFs received healthy cash flows of +$7.2bn with all the fixed income segments recording positive cash flows over the month of April. Corporates continued to attract healthy flows; +$2.9bn in monthly flows taking the total to +$7.9bn YTD. Sovereign and broad fixed income benchmarked ETFs received inflows of +$2bn and +$1.3bn respectively, over the same period.

Outflows from EM equities in Asia, strategy ETFs received healthy cash inflows
During the month of April, the Asia-Pacific ETP market witnessed monthly cash outflows of -$163mn setting the YTD monthly flows average at +$469mn (+$1.9bn YTD in total cash flows). Emerging market equity ETFs recorded outflows of -$1.2bn while strategy based equity ETFs registered inflows of +$0.8bn.

At the sub-segment level, leveraged long ETFs, South Korea focused, and financial sector ETFs recorded inflows of +$1bn, +$263mn, and +$176mn respectively. China, Japan focused and short strategy ETFs experienced outflows of -$1.4bn, -$179mn and -$170mn respectively during April. Sovereign ETFs gained traction with inflows of +$242mn over the same period.
