AUD – Jigsaw Rubber Interlocking Mats

The AUD traded in a very tight range against most of its trading partners on Monday. There were no tier one data releases locally or abroad which contributed significantly to the lack of volatility. Today we look forward to the Monetary Policy Meeting Minutes from the RBA at 11:30 AEST. Given last month’s rise in unemployment and strong inflation read, markets are looking for the RBA to explain its decision at the start of the month to keep the cash rate at 2.5%. The price of interlocking EVA rubber jigsaw gym mats is stable.

Aussie shares had a soft day Friday but are expected to open 10 points higher today as reporting season enters its busiest few days. More than 90 companies are expected to release their numbers this week led by a handful of mining heavyweights.

The US markets started slowly Friday but erased losses later in the session as increasing violence in the Ukraine sent commodity prices higher whereas in Europe and the UK the same news damaged markets, erasing the European markets weekly gains in pretty much the final hour’s trading.

Escalating problems in the Ukraine led to oil prices seeing their biggest increase in a month and spurred a rally in commodity prices but in contrast gold fell the most we have seen in August following signs of decreasing investor demand principally from the US and China.

Croatian Economic Overview

The beginning of this year was marked by relatively favorable economic developments that have in the meantime faded and allowed for the return of recession. Although seasonally adjusted GDP increased by 0.3% in the first quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2013, this encouraging upturn was not sufficient to compensate for a 0.7% drop in the previous quarter. Consequently, GDP level remained 0.4% lower than in the first quarter of the last year. The first quarter this year saw positive developments in personal consumption and exports, as well as in manufacturing. The most recent trends, however, are not that favorable. High-frequency indicators suggest that momentum in key sectors has gradually diminished (volume of retail trade, tax revenues) or turned negative (industrial production) increasing the probability of negative quarter-to quarter GDP growth in the second quarter of this year.

GDP growth in the first quarter was predominantly the result of a strong increase in personal consumption, which was, in seasonally adjusted terms, 0.8% higher compared to the fourth quarter of last year. In spite of such increase, personal consumption remained 0.5% below its level from a year before. Similarly to GDP developments, increase in the first quarter of 2014 appeared after a notable drop in the fourth quarter of 2013 and was insufficient to offset that loss.

In the last two quarters consumption has remained at the lowest level since mid-2004 confirming the depth and the persistence of the current recession in Croatia, which is in its sixth consecutive year. Positive developments in the first quarter were possibly caused by postponing household consumption from the end of the last year to the beginning of this year in the expectation of seasonal discounts. This strategy seems to have worked well as consumer prices dropped in January and February pushing annual inflation rates into negative territory. Nevertheless, personal consumption is still under the strong influence of reduced households’ disposable income, deleveraging, and low consumer confidence, which are all likely to prevent its sustainable recovery in the near term. For the first time since 2011 government consumption has experienced a more durable contraction. Seasonally adjusted consumption has declined for the last three quarters in a row allowing for a cumulative shortfall of 2.3%. In the first quarter, this decline was 0.7%. It appears that serious fiscal consolidation can no longer be postponed as financial constraints are getting tighter and government consumption, i.e. government expenditures on goods and services, should be reduced.

Investments have continued to disappoint. Seasonally adjusted figures for the first quarter indicate a drop of 0.4% vs. the fourth quarter of last year and a drop of 3.6% if compared to the first quarter of 2013.

Both exports and imports have substantially increased at the beginning of this year. National accounts statistics recorded that volume of exports of goods and services increased by 6.1% year-on-year in the first quarter, and volume of imports by 2.5%. Trade of goods rose even more strongly than total trade, while trade in services declined.

After exhibiting a strong growth in January, which allowed for a 4% rise in the first quarter this year compared to the last quarter of 2013, industrial activity started decelerating which has finally resulted in the negative trend.

Unemployment figures indicate an improvement in the second quarter of 2014. After a peak in February, the number of registered unemployed has been falling sharply to reach 305 thousand in June, which is 7% less than in May and 4% less than a year ago. Recent increase in employment has been much smaller than a decrease in unemployment, causing reduction in the active population. The active population has been declining ever since February 2013 and in May 2014 it was 2.3% lower than a year ago and 7% lower than in May 2008.

Consumer price inflation has continued to record negative year-on-year rates since February this year in spite of moderate increases on a month-to-month basis. However, June brought a negative monthly rate contributing to negative annual inflation rate of 0.4%. Deflation is caused mostly by lower import prices and very poor domestic demand. June figures show that majority of market-determined prices recorded a decline, such as prices of food, non- alcoholic beverages, clothing, footwear, furniture, communication and recreation. There are a number of items whose prices are either immune to poor domestic demand, such as tourist services, or are administratively controlled, such as health services or water supply, or are simply subject to increasing excise taxes, such as tobacco. Prices of these goods are steadily increasing.

Expectations

In spite of a more favorable international environment and opportunities opened by the EU membership, short-term economic prospects for Croatia have remained muted. After recording negligible GDP rise on quarter-to-quarter basis in the first quarter of 2014, high frequency indicators suggest that negative GDP rate might return in the second quarter. Strengthened demand from EU and CEFTA countries is expected to be overridden by weakened domestic demand and negative short-term effects from fiscal consolidation retaining our GDP projection at -0.5 percent for this year, while the next year should see a positive rate of 0.7 percent driven by recovery of exports and investments.

Whilst there are numerous judo, boxing, kick boxing, bjj and gymnastics organisations in Croatia. The market for jigsaw mats is not huge. Nonetheless Ezymats has the logistics to ship their EVA interlocking jigsaw mats to Croatia and Europe.

AUD bouncing around

The Australian dollar traded steadily on Friday, after sustaining sharp losses a day earlier. The RBA lowered its forecast for GDP of 2-3% in the year through June 2015, down from 2.25-3.25% in the May projection. The RBA added that the unemployment rate was likely to “remain elevated for some time”. The RBA statement also took note of the high value of the Australian dollar, which has gained about 6% since February.

China’s growth increases to 7.5% in Q2

The mainland’s economy grew 7.5 percent between April and June from a year earlier, slightly above expectations and quickening from the 7.4 percent pace in the first quarter, reinforcing hopes that a recovery is under way after a flurry of government stimulus measures.

Other data released alongside the gross domestic product report showed factory output rose 9.2 percent in June from a year ago, beating expectations of a 9.0 percent increase.

Fixed asset investment, a mainstay driver of the mainland’s economy, climbed 17.3 percent in the first six months compared with a year earlier, above forecasts for a 17.2 percent rise.

Retail sales rose 12.4 percent in June from a year ago, in line with analysts’ predictions.

China’s economy got off to a weak start this year as unsteady foreign and domestic demand dragged on exports, investment and industrial output, prompting the government to announce a slew of stimulus measures.

Many economists believe more policy support may be needed in coming months to sustain any recovery, particularly if the already cooling property market begins to deteriorate more sharply.

Market Watch

Share markets from Asia to the US slumped last week on the back of credit risk aversion and disappointing earnings. The Dow Jones lost its YTD gains in one session and the S&P 500 shed 2.3% in recording its worst week since 2012.

The ASX dropped 1.36% on Friday to close at 5556 after hitting a 6 year high earlier on in the week. UK and European shares lost ground in the wake of a lower than forecast manufacturing data reading from China.

Gold rose by 0.9% on Friday to close at $1294/oz after a disappointing jobs report from the US. More on that in the USD section below.

Oil saw its biggest weekly drop in seven months after the refinery utilisation rate dropped for the first time in 5 weeks. WTI finish 0.3% lower at $97.88/bbl.

The AUD lost close to 1% last week as economic data was softer than expected, disappointing investors after a largely positive previous week. Building Approvals dropped 5%m/m and the Producer Price Index fell 0.1%, just the second negative reading in four and a half years. This lower than expected inflation gauge opens the way for a further rate cut should Glenn Stevens deem it necessary. Retail Sales data released today ahead of the RBA meeting tomorrow should provide some interesting reading.

The price of EVA jigsaw rubber gym mats is stable. Ezymats is still the market leader both in Australia and globally though their China office.
